News & Reviews:   beta

Samsung Newsroom Malaysia has officially announced the release of the One UI 9 beta programme for users of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Series. The beta rollout gives early adopters access to Samsung’s next-generation Android experience ahead of the official public release later this year.

WhatsApp is rolling out a multi-account feature in its iOS TestFlight beta (version 25.34.10.72), allowing eligible users to add and switch between two separate WhatsApp accounts on the same device. For users who have multiple accounts on WhatsApp, this can be a useful feature in the future.

While there's no official announcement yet, WhatsApp has quietly begun testing a native app for the Apple Watch via TestFlight. This signals a major shift for users who rely on the wrist rather than the phone, and here's what we know so far.

Since Nothing launched its first smartphone, the industry has considered the company's Nothing OS one of the best UIs around. It's minimalist, clean, and free from the bloatware you typically see in Chinese phones. However, that's no longer the case with the next update.

When you're in a group chat, it can sometimes be difficult to track who's talking to whom. This is notable in apps like WhatsApp when someone is replying to a message, while another active conversation is happening. However, WhatsApp has begun testing a solution to this problem.

If you fancy yourself a DJ, Spotify's latest update might be of interest to you. The company has announced a new beta feature for Spotify Premium subscribers. This feature allows users to add custom transitions between tracks.

According to recent discoveries in iOS 26 beta 6, Apple appears to be preparing a Live Translation feature for AirPods. The beta code includes imagery labelled “Translate” showing AirPods alongside greetings like “Hello” in multiple languages, and suggests activation via a double-press gesture on the stems.

We are just two months away from the annual Apple Event. Not only will we be seeing the new iPhone 17 series, but also the new iOS 26. Speaking of which, we may be in for a treat with the new operating system, as it has become popular with the developers.

When travelling, some people watch movies on the plane to pass the time. Others prefer listening to music. The latter would require you to have songs on your device, so you'd rely on offline features for platforms like YouTube Music. The problem is they won't come with lyrics.

It hasn't been long since Samsung released One UI 7, but One UI 8 is already being worked on. Samsung developers and some insiders have already begun testing it, and the public could get access to it earlier than some would expect.
