Microsoft is reportedly working on a ‘super app’ that can dethrone both Google and Apple in the mobile search space. An all-in-one app that combines messaging, web search, shopping, news feeds and more, the concept is similar to how dominant WeChat is in China.

Today, Celcom just announced some new add-on features to the Celcom XP Lite plans. From the company's website, the said-plan just got upgraded with free access to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and WeChat.

So not only TikTok is in trouble, but so as WeChat since US President Trump released an executive order to ban the social app on 7 August 2020. Should the app be banned, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the iPhone global shipments could decline 25-30%, but why?

Tension for TikTok is rising as US President Donald Trump has just issued an executive order to ban the app in 45 days. It's not just TikTok though, as WeChat just got pulled into the situation as well for the same days given for the ban.

If you still remember the "Remove China Apps" news, looks like it's not over yet. According to sources, it seems that the India intelligence officials have taken this matter into their own hands and actually prepared a list of apps that are deemed "dangerous" in terms of security risk.

Previously, we reported that dark mode is coming soon for WeChat. Well, the wait is finally over and the new update was launched just yesterday but here's the thing - only the iOS version for WeChat has the update. Android WeChat users will have to wait for theirs!

As for Apple iOS users, the dark mode update is in the plans for the next update (whenever that is). 

Covid-19 (aka Coronavirus) is a big topic of the year. Not only has the virus taken thousands of lives in China, but also spread to other countries and regions at a fast pace.
