stable OnePlus 10 Pro Android 14

 The stable OnePlus 10 Pro Android 14 rollout begins

Stable OnePlus 10 Pro Android 14 is live in India with version number NE2211_14.0.0.202(EX01). Other global variants will likely come in the next few days. OnePlus has already pushed out Oxygen OS 14 — based on Android 14 — to its current flagship, the OnePlus 11. Now, the company is starting to roll out the upgrade the OnePlus 10 Pro.

The OnePlus 10 Pro Android 14 update is now live in India. It comes with version number NE2211_14.0.0.202(EX01). It’s not super large at just 789.33MB, but the user who spotted it is in the open beta program, so it’s possible that non-beta users will see a larger file. OnePlus has different software versions for different areas around the world. This means the version we see in other countries — including the US — will likely have a different version number and size. We would expect to see those arrive in the next few days. Oxygen OS 14 comes with all the usual Android 14 features. OnePlus also includes a few extra tricks, including File Dock, Smart Cutout, and other features also. 

WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.73

 Update of WhatsApp beta for

 iOS 23.24.10.73

WhatsApp has just submitted a new update through the Test Flight beta Program, bringing the version up to 23.24.10.73. The version marked within WhatsApp Settings is 2.23.24.73 and the Test   Flight build is 23.24.10 (539752939). WhatsApp is working on a new text status feature with disappearing options, and it will be available in a future update. WhatsApp is working on bringing a new text status feature to a future update of the app. This feature is under development, so it’s not ready for beta testers, but you can find some details in this article. 

TEXT STATUS

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.20.12 update, we shared the details about a new feature under development: text status. Text Status will be a new improved “about” feature which include disappearing options, allowing users to set a temporary text status which automatically vanishes after a specified duration. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.73 update, which is available on the Test Flight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on the same feature for a future update of the app!

WhatsApp is working on several improvements regarding the feature which currently allows us to associate a description with our profile. It will give users the ability to choose a timer so that the description associated with our profile disappears after the selected period of time. It is very important to note that the “Never” option is currently unavailable. This means that you won’t be able to associate a persistent text status to your profile.

The introduction of the new text status feature with a timer will provide users with greater control over the visibility of their profile information. Users will be able to set a temporary text status which automatically disappears after a specified duration. This enhanced control over the visibility of personal information contributes to increased privacy, allowing users to share temporary updates without having a persistent text status associated with their profile. The absence of the “Never” option will also ensure that users have a time-limited text status, encouraging them to share an updated text status which always reflects their current thoughts or activities. A new text status feature with disappearing options is currently in development and it will be available in a future update of the app. 

Benefits of walnuts

 Health Benefits of Walnuts​

Walnuts resemble the shape of the human brain​. Walnuts are not only delicious but also packed with numerous health benefits. Incorporating these nutrient-rich nuts into your diet can contribute to overall well-being. Following are the some of the health benefits of walnuts:-

keeps the Heart healthy​

Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). These fatty acids have been associated with cardiovascular benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels. Consuming walnuts as part of a heart-healthy diet may contribute to a lower risk of heart disease.

​Brain-boosting effects​

Omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts are known for their positive impact on cognitive function. They may support brain health and help reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline. Studies suggest that regular consumption of walnuts may be linked to improved memory and concentration.

Keep the bones healthy​

Walnuts contain essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are important for bone health. Walnuts are not a primary source of these minerals, incorporating walnuts into a diet rich in bone-supportive nutrients can contribute to overall bone health.

Maintains the skin health​

The antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts may also benefit the skin. These nutrients help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to healthy and radiant skin. The vitamin E content in walnuts may also play a role in maintaining skin health.

High in antioxidants​

Walnuts are rich in antioxidants, including polyphenols and vitamin E. These antioxidants help combat oxidative stress in the body, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. A diet high in antioxidants is associated with various health benefits, including a reduced risk of chronic diseases.

Weight management​

Despite being energy-dense, walnuts may aid in weight management. The combination of protein, fibre, and healthy fats helps promote a feeling of fullness, potentially reducing overall calorie intake. Including walnuts in a balanced diet may contribute to weight control.

Anti-inflammatory ​

Chronic inflammation is linked to various health conditions, including heart disease and certain cancers. Walnuts contain compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, such as polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids. Regular consumption may help mitigate inflammation in the body.

Help prevent cancer​

Studies suggest that the compounds found in walnuts, including polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids, may have anti-cancer properties. Incorporating walnuts into a cancer-preventive diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains may be beneficial.

Control​s Blood sugar 

Walnuts have been associated with improved blood sugar control. The fibre, healthy fats and antioxidants in walnuts may contribute to better insulin sensitivity. Including walnuts in a balanced diet may be a helpful strategy for individuals with or at risk of type 2 diabetes.

New option for WhatsApp beta

New option for WhatsApp beta to hide the Meta AI shortcut

Meta is making an AI push on all of its platforms with the Meta AI assistant. The company have started testing the AI assistant on WhatsApp, with the beta versions of the Android and iOS apps getting a shortcut to the assistant above the list of chats for quick access. Meta AI is an optional feature which WhatsApp users can ignore completely without having their experience affected, and it looks like Meta knows that. The latest beta version of the app for Android devices introduces the option to remove the Meta AI button from the Chats tab. The option is available in the Chats section of the app's settings and is beginning to pop up for some beta users.

Meta AI is like any other virtual assistant and can show real-time information from the web (using Microsoft Bing) for search queries and also offer context-based suggestions for discussions inside both individual and group chats. The assistant will also get various AI characters to make interaction with it more fun, and while interesting thing is that, not everyone will want to bring AI into their chatting and messaging experience, and it's an optional feature for all users.

The option to remove the Meta AI shortcut is available on version 2.23.25.15 of the WhatsApp beta app on Android for some users and will likely make its way to iOS in near future. As for the standard non-beta version of the app, it has neither the AI assistant nor the option to hide it at this time, and it's unclear when that will change. WhatsApp, like most social messaging apps, supports disappearing messages, a feature that automatically deletes a message after a particular period of time. WhatsApp users can also send images and videos which can only be viewed once before these are automatically deleted.

These features are available on both Android and iOS, and they were also available on the desktop and web versions of the app. Earlier, WhatsApp removed the ability to send view once photos and videos from the desktop and web apps to make things more secure. But WhatsApp is now reversing the decision and working to bring back the view once feature to its desktop (Windows, MacOS) and web clients. 

Google Chat redesigned

 Google Chat with wild navigation redesign on Android, iOS

Google Chat is getting a big redesign on Android and iOS to accompany its new icon. Google Chat is getting a “new bottom navigation bar” with four tabs/sections which correspond to the upcoming web version. Previously, there were just two tabs — Chat and Spaces — on mobile.

 

Home 

Helps you stay on top of all conversions in one unified view, with a filter which allows you to drill down to unread messages.

Direct messages

See a compact list of all your one on one and group messages, including pinned conversations at the top of the list.

Spaces

See a compact list of all your spaces, including pinned conversations at the top of the list.

Mentions

Helps you easily find messages from conversations and spaces where you have been mentioned. 

How the app is being reorganized and expanded is pretty straightforward. However, the actual design implementation is just normal. Google today shared what this update looks like in the integrated Gmail mobile app. There is now just one “Chat” tab — between email and Meet — in the bottom bar instead of there being two (Chat and Spaces).

The four new parts of the service appear in a floating pill-shaped container just above the bottom bar with a new chat FAB at the right. You will get an unread badge for each section, as well as a unified count in the bottom bar. The approach in Gmail looks rather cluttered. This redesign is rolling out to Chat on Android and iOS in the few days ahead for “all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts.” This navigation update follows the chat bubble revamp which makes Chat feel a lot like Google Messages for the users.

Samsung Galaxy S24

 Galaxy S24 expected to enhance Samsung’s new LLW DRAM technology for AI

 

Samsung Semiconductor revealed “a special type of DRAM” which the company claims is perfect for mobile AI (artificial intelligence) and gaming applications. It's called LLW DRAM, which is short for Low Latency Wide IO. Samsung initially announced that it was developing LLW DRAM at the start of this year at Tech Day. The company also informed briefly about LLW at Memory Tech Day, where it introduced HBM3E Shinebolt and LPDDR5X CAMM2 solutions. Now Samsung reminded everyone of its LLW chip through a video. Samsung Semiconductor took to X (formerly Twitter) to publish a 44-second ad showcasing LLW DRAM.

The LLW solution usually sits right next to the CPU on a SoC, which makes sense given its “Low Latency” claims. But interestingly, LLW chips will work alongside the CPU rather than replacing traditional DRAM altogether. Exactly when LLW DRAM will be used by Samsung chipsets is unclear, but it is possible that the Galaxy S24 series will be the first smartphone to use this technology.

Samsung is already preparing new AI features for the next flagship, including AI Live Translate Call, which the company confirmed will be coming early next year. Samsung will supposedly showcase the S24 as an “AI phone.” All things considered, perhaps the Galaxy S24 will also be used as a launch pad for LLW DRAM. Samsung is expected to unveil the next flagship phone in San Jose on January 17. There are claims that Galaxy S24 won’t have 12GB RAM, while Ultra lacks 16GB RAM

Now Samsung is less than two months away from announcing its next-generation flagship smartphone. Several features of the upcoming devices have leaked over the past few months. Samsung will finally upgrade RAM on its high-end devices, but a new leak shoots down those claims. According to reports available, the base Galaxy S24 will come equipped with just 8GB RAM, with no option to upgrade memory with pricier variants. The Galaxy S24+, though, will have a variant with 12GB RAM, but its entry-level version will still use 8GB RAM.
