News & Reviews:   feature

It seems that Facebook has recently tweeted on their Facebook page stating that they are currently testing a feature that labels Facebook pages in order to provide more context about the page. Currently, there are labels such as ‘public official’, ‘fan page’ as well as ‘satire page’ at the time of this writing with more to come in the future.

A report by gizmodo seems to hints that Facebook will be releasing a feature that allows users to specify who can comment on their public post in the near future. In order to specify who can comment, all you need to do is to tag the account or page in the post.

It seems that a statement by developer Alessandro Paluzzi, seems that LinkedIn might have plans to implement a Clubhouse-like feature in the near future. While not much is known in regards to the exact date the feature will be available, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from the platform in the coming months.

The latest Google Chrome update on Android has brought a useful feature that lets users preview a link. It looks like the feature is enabled via a server-side update to version 89 of the browser. With it, users can just preview a web page without leaving the current web page that they're on.

Based on a statement by theverge.com, it seems that Twitter might be planning on rolling out Spaces, which is a feature that allows users to create virtual rooms for hosts to interact with other users by April 2021. While not much is known in regards to the exact date Malaysia will be getting the aforementioned feature, it does give us a better idea of when to expect it.

Apart from making images disappear in the near future, it seems that the WhatsApp team is also working on making messages self-destruct. Not exactly a new feature, you already do it on your WhatsApp but it's more like testing a different expiration date.

Although not many complaints that we can make about the features offered by WhatsApp (aside from privacy policy), the chat platform is still constantly adding new stuff to improve the user's experience. At the end of last year, a rumour had appeared saying that WhatsApp is testing on an extra feature that lets users mute videos before sharing. Until now, the testing phase has finally come to an end and it will be available for all users.

Based on a statement by techradar.com, it seems that Twitter has recently introduced a feature called Spaces, which comes with features similar to that of Clubhouse. Unfortunately, the feature is currently available only to selected users in India and there’s no news on when it will be coming to Malaysia.

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.

For those who are still active on Snapchat, there is a new feature to let you try out. The company had rolled out a brand new astrological profile. This feature makes you understand yourself, check out your daily horoscope, and you can share it with your friends and family as well.
