News & Reviews:   Android

Yesterday, many of us found the PCs linked to our WhatsApp account suddenly unlinked. Well, that's because the company finally made an update to the Linked Devices feature. That's right, by now you've probably noticed that Multi-device is finally available to us.

Twitter has introduced quite some new features in recent years. However, not every one of them was able to win users' hearts. Earlier, the company announced that it had to take away Fleets, an Instagram Stories-like feature, as "it hasn't seen an increase in the number of new people joining the conversation with Fleets like it hoped." Now, the social media platform is serving something new called Communities, and it's what we've seen on its rivals.

A few weeks back, we got the news that WhatsApp was working on a new iOS-to-Android feature. It wanted to make it possible for users to transfer their chat history from one platform to another. This would be useful if you plan to migrate to Android.

For Samsung smartphone users, the company's One UI is among the top Android skins these days. In the latest One UI 3, there are even cool features like Multi-Active Window. Now, Samsung is gearing up for the release of the next big version - One UI 4.

Last month, Clubhouse finally dropped its invite-only system, allowing anyone on iOS and Android to join the platform. Now, the company has to come up with ways to keep its users around. And it seems that new audio features are on the cards.

The next big Android update is coming to us with a new design, which Google has given us sneak peeks, and some exciting features. As a default browser on most Android phones, Google Chrome is said to bring something that we never know we needed along with the Android 12 update. According to the latest report, the browser could support multiple windows on smartphones in the future.

In case you didn't know, WhatsApp has already rolled out the View Once update on your iOS and Android. If you want more of those, the WhatsApp team is now working on making messages disappearing.

As you know, messaging apps can be used to share a variety of different content. But besides images, the thing we mostly share are URLs. When you share links on WhatsApp, you get to see what's on the site. Now, preview links are getting an upgrade.

Apple has set the standard with the Find My network by allowing users to retrieve lost devices without the internet. However, Google still can't do that with Find My Device. Until now, rumour has it that Google might be close to establishing its own network, letting all Android users enjoy a similar benefit as the Apple users.

During the Galaxy Unpacked launch last night, it was a surprise that not only Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G but also a new WhatsApp feature. If you're unaware, WhatsApp's upcoming feature is about allowing users to transfer their chat history and media data across between Android and iOS devices.
