WhatsApp, by far the most used messaging app in Malaysia is facing some stiff competition from its rivals, especially from Telegram. In fact, back in January 2021, a lot of WhatsApp users made the switch to Telegram after the former’s questionable change in privacy policy.

More than a year later, the Meta-owned messaging app is now trying to retain as well as win over users back again with a slew of new features currently in the works. These include message reactions, polls, true multi-device support and the ability to send files up to 2GB in size.

One of the most premium flagship smartphones available in the market today, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is reportedly having issues with GPS connectivity. In fact, users have been raising complaints on the matter on Samsung Community forums as well on social media over the past week or so.

OnePlus is reportedly launching a few smartphones this year and one of them is rumoured to be the OnePlus 10R. The device may be a continuation of the 9R and 9RT phones by the Chinese company, but as the naming scheme is not aligned, it may just be a new lineup of smartphones by OnePlus.
