Microsoft is bringing a new feature that benefits those who like to open tons of apps at once. The new taskbar overflow is designed to make it easier to find the open apps once you run out of taskbar space, and it should bring more convenience to users compared to how the operating system did before.

WhatsApp has rolled out another most-requested feature, allowing Android users to transfer their chats to iOS devices. Migrating chat data from iOS to Android was made possible with the release of the iPhone-to-Android chat migration tool about a year ago. Therefore, we're glad that the platform finally figured out how to let the users do it the other way around.  

Back in January, Instagram introduced its subscription service for the creators to earn a profit through what they post on the social media platform. However, the subscriptions only covered minimal content, such as stories and live streams. Now, Instagram will be adding photos, videos, or Reels into the package, which is one of the most requested changes by the creators.

Google Maps has partnered with K-Pop group BTS to showcase the members' favourite artworks from various cities. The new feature BTS x Street Galleries lets the fans explore the artworks through Street View, and each of them comes with a story told by the members for why they love the pieces.

Finally, the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for YouTube will soon be available for all iOS users across the globe. Since April, we had already heard the news about the feature making its way to global iOS users, but it never happened until now.

Google Maps has been offering a lot of new features for the users. Today, another one goes live by letting users check toll fees before hitting the road. The feature was announced a few months ago, and it's available now for the iOS and Android users.

Earlier this year, Microsoft was spotted testing tabs for File Explorer on Windows 11. It turns out that the company has decided to roll out the feature soon, giving us a modernized version of the file managing app.

The alert slider has been an iconic feature of OnePlus smartphones since the beginning. If you're a fan of it, you might be disappointed with this new report claiming that the company will not provide the slider to all future OnePlus smartphones but some.

The recently held WWDC 2022 event by Apple introduced a lot of new features and improvements for iPhones and iPads via iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 respectively. For the latter, among the most notable addition has got to be the ‘Stage Manager’ feature which allows users to resize apps into overlapping windows, a feature similarly found on new macOS Ventura.

While this new addition makes the iPad one step closer to being a computer replacement in terms of software, it seems that only iPads that are powered by the M1 SoC will have the privilege to get the feature. This is because Apple has clarified that iPads that run on its mobile A-series bionic chips will not get Stage Manager, which includes the iPad Pro 2020 which is only 2 years old.

TikTok is probably one of the most addictive apps in this generation. Providing short videos curated by a genius algorithm to match your taste, who doesn't love it? However, there must be times when you tell yourself to get off the platform, but your hands just don't follow your mind. Therefore, TikTok has added some new features to help with that problem.
