News & Reviews:   feature

Twitter first announced that it was looking into subscriptions earlier this year. The company wanted to let Twitter users monetise their content and started beta testing Super Follows in June. Now, it seems that Twitter is done with testing.

You might be disappointed hearing this one, but still, Microsoft won't include Android app support at the launch of Windows 11 on 5 October. The feature is probably one of the highly-anticipated ones from the upcoming operating system update. However, Microsoft's spokesperson has somehow hinted that it won't arrive until 2022.

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.

If you use multiple devices, it's useful if your apps can connect across devices. That's what WhatsApp has been working on in the last few months. An update last month suggested that the Multi-device feature is coming soon, and we have an update on that.

Not long ago, Twitter announced its take on an Instagram Stories-like feature and released it as Fleets. The feature is a familiar one by allowing users to share content that disappears in 24 hours. However, the company has observed that the feature is not performing well as expected. With that said, it has been decided that Fleets will be gone by 3 August.

Sending images on WhatsApp can be a hassle for some of us as the messaging app compresses almost everything you want to share. However, things might change soon as it's spotted that the platform is currently developing features that let users choose the quality of images and videos sending out in chats.

Disappearing messages is probably one of the most sought after features for messaging apps these days. Some users would like to have their texts go away forever after the recipients read them, be it for cleaning purposes or getting rid of something they don't want others to read. After letting its users send messages that disappear after seven days, WhatsApp is now rolling out the function for photos and videos to Android beta users.

Last week, we reported that Facebook has begun testing out Live Audio Rooms and it seems that it was a success. According to the recent Facebook Newsroom post, the Live Audio Rooms alongside Podcast will be rolling out the features in the US first.

Due to the sudden popularity of Clubhouse, many tech brands try to create their own version to mimic the success. For Facebook, they too are developing one and will be testing a new Live Audio Rooms today in the US timezone (15 June 1 PM EDT).

As you may recall, Apple announced that it will be adding Lossless Audio and Spatial Audio to Apple Music last month. That feature was officially added to MacBooks after WWDC 2021 last night. However, it should be noted that it will be limited to selected Mac devices.
