News & Reviews:   feature

If you've ever watched a video in a foreign language, you may have found the auto-captioning inaccurate. Or maybe you just want to watch videos in your language, and that's totally fine. But did you know YouTube has an auto-dubbing feature?

First introduced in 2023, Circle to Search is a feature that lets you circle an image on your phone to initiate a Google search. Previously, it was exclusive to Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices. But soon, that will no longer be the case.

If you have different chat groups for work or family in WhatsApp, it might be a hassle to keep track of them all. While you can filter them by unread, favourites or groups, it may not be enough for some people. In that case, new filters would make a lot of sense.

Did you know you can change your WhatsApp wallpaper? Having said that, you either pick from the Bright, Dark and Solid Colours categories or use your own photos/screenshots. There's no real theme system that changes things like the chat message box, font, etc. But that could change soon.

Often, we hear a new song or recall old ones without knowing the title. That's usually not a problem if it's played on the radio or something, as you can identify songs or tunes with apps like Shazam. But what if you don't have the song to playback? Well, YouTube Music has a new feature for that.

Voice messages are pretty common in Malaysia these days, so many of us are used to it. But sometimes you don't have the time to listen to the messages, which is when a transcript would be more useful. Fortunately, WhatsApp realizes that.

For YouTube content creators, the worst feeling is waking up one day to find a video you worked hard on taken down due to copyright claims. This usually means you'd have to edit out the copyrighted content before re-uploading. But now YouTube has a way to help you.

Are you the type to hate writing notes? Maybe taking a video will be better for you, as you could have your classes 'rebroadcasted'. That's probably one of many ways you can use WhatsApp's upcoming feature - the Video Note.

The release of Galaxy AI brought features many consider useful. But if you were to ask us which is the best, it would be Circle to Search. Although it may feel like just another search feature, its convenience can't be underestimated. Now, it's even coming to Google Chrome.

Nowadays, there are many people who use smartphones as their productivity devices instead of laptops. These people appreciate the more portable nature of a small smartphone as a PC, so Google has been adding more support to help with that in Android 15.
