If you're interested in HarmonyOS, you've probably been keeping up with its recent news. Huawei's operating system is set to launch later this month, but developers have already gotten a taste for it and have been revealing what it has.

It seems that a tweet by @WABetaInfo revealed that WhatsApp could be working on allowing users to alter the playback speed on voice messages in the near future. While not much is known in regards to when the feature will be publicly available, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is officially available.

We have written some news about iOS 14.5 beta for a while now and here's another one. Apple has confirmed that the upcoming software update will include new emojis, Apple Music update and others.

Based on a statement by androidpolice, it seems that Twitter has finally allowed us to upload and view 4K resolution pictures on Android smartphone with Twitter beta v8.76 and above. If you’re keen on viewing a picture in 4K resolution, all you need to do is tap on the 3-dot menu and tap on the “Load 4K” option.

The team behind WhatsApp continues putting effort into the chat platform by developing even more new features. Last month, features such as the "always mute" option and a new storage management tool have been widely rolled out to users. It was also rumoured that "disappearing messages" could soon arrive as well. Now, several new things are spotted again including muting videos before sharing and a new "Read Later" feature.

HUAWEI's in-house operating system (OS) HarmonyOS has been improving and will make its debut sooner or later on mobile devices. Earlier news has reported that some of the current HUAWEI and HONOR smartphones will be able to make the switch by the time when the mobile version of the OS arrives. Now, the list of smartphones has appeared online showing us which of the devices will be eligible for it.

For most of us on fibre broadband, we'll want to watch YouTube on 720p or 1080p, depending on your display. In the case of mobile devices, it's normal to change the resolution to save data when you're not on WiFi. YouTube is making it so that you don't have to manually adjust every time you switch between networks.

YouTube is spotted bringing a lot more new features to the platform recently due to the large migration of users from Google Play Music to YouTube Music. Today, someone has found out that the platform will soon allow users to set the video quality by default without the need of switching them manually every time.

Based on a statement by WABetaInfo.com, it seems that the developers of WhatsApp might be keen on implementing WhatsApp voice and video call to WhatsApp web. Currently, if you are interested in engaging in either a voice or video call on WhatsApp, you can only do it on either a smartphone or a tablet.

Who doesn’t watch videos on YouTube? Some of the users even subscribe YouTube Premium to enjoy the watching experience without ads. Here the company - Google have rolled out some new experimental features for the YouTube Premium subscribers that are still under development.
