WhatsApp Tests Custom Tags in Group Chat on Android to Make Group Chats More Organised

0

Highlights

  • WhatsApp is testing custom member tags in group chats on Android, allowing users to add short labels beside their names.
  • Tags are optional, editable, and unique to each group; they sync across devices.
  • The feature is currently limited to beta testers.

WhatsApp is experimenting with a new feature designed to bring more clarity to crowded group chats. The platform is currently testing personalised group-member tags on Android, giving users the ability to display short labels next to their names. The feature is only available to a limited number of beta testers for now. However, the addition could soon become a practical tool for communities, teams, and large social groups. Here’s what we know so far.

WhatsApp Test Custom Tag in Group Chats

image

The feature was first spotted by WABetaInfo in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.17.42. As per the report, users can assign tags of up to 30 characters to themselves within a specific group. These labels can indicate roles, responsibilities, or even fun identifiers. For example, “Coach”, “Moderator”, or “Project Manager”.

Unlike usernames or admin-assigned titles, these tags are fully optional and managed individually by each member. The intention is to add useful context without introducing any hierarchy. Whether someone is part of a workplace chat, a sports team, or a local neighbourhood group, they can choose exactly how they want to be represented.

WABetaInfo notes that users can create, modify, or delete their tags at any time. Tags cannot include checkmarks, links, or special symbols. This limitation appears to be in place to reduce the chances of impersonation or clutter. Each tag is also restricted to the group where it was created, meaning your label in one chat will not automatically appear in another.

However, tags will sync across devices as long as you sign in with the same WhatsApp account, even after switching phones or reinstalling the app.

At this stage, the feature remains exclusive to beta testers. A wider rollout is expected once WhatsApp completes its testing and ensures reliable syncing across devices.

How to Create Your Member Tag?

Setting a tag is simple and doesn’t require admin permissions.

Open WhatsApp on your Android device, head to the group where you want to add the tag, and go to the Group Info page. Tap your name in the member list, and you’ll find an option to add or edit your tag. Enter a label like “Designer”, “Captain”, or “Foodie”, save it, and it will instantly appear beside your name for everyone in that group.

WhatsApp has been steadily working on improving group interactions through features like Communities, new admin controls, and better organisation tools. It is clear that the platform aims to make large chats less chaotic and more personalised with the addition of member tags in group chats.

FAQs

Q1. What are WhatsApp’s new custom tags in group chats?

Answer. Custom tags let group members add short labels (up to 30 characters) beside their names, such as “Coach” or “Moderator,” to provide context without hierarchy.

Q2. How do users manage tags in WhatsApp group chats?

Answer. Tags are optional, editable, and unique to each group. Members can create, modify, or delete their tags anytime, and they sync across devices linked to the same account.

Q3. Who can access WhatsApp group chat tags feature right now?

Answer. The feature is currently limited to beta testers on WhatsApp Android version 2.25.17.42, with a wider rollout expected after successful testing and syncing validation.

Apple could be gearing up for one of its biggest updates yet to its budget iPhone lineup. According to a new research note from analyst Jeff Pu, the company is planning a series of meaningful upgrades for early 2026. The upgrades won’t be limited to the iPhone 17e, but also for its entry-level MacBook and iPad models. Pu’s report is based on early signs in the supply chain and gives the first look at how Apple may shift its strategy next year. Here’s what we know.

iPhone 17e – What To Expect?

Jeff Pu claims that Apple is preparing the iPhone 17e as the successor to the iPhone 16e, with a launch window set for early 2026. One of the biggest changes would be a jump to an 18-megapixel front camera with Centre Stage support. It is the same setup from the standard iPhone 17.

Apple reportedly plans to use the A19 chip, closing the distance between the performance of the “e” model and its flagship siblings. Another important design upgrade mentioned in the note is the removal of the notch in favour of Dynamic Island, marking the first time the feature appears on the budget “e” series.

Connectivity improvements may also be part of the upgrade. Pu says the phone could come equipped with Apple’s C1 modem and possibly the N1 wireless chip, which is designed to boost peer-to-peer communication and make wireless transfers more efficient.

Previous leaks have already suggested some of the hardware specs. We can expect a 6.1-inch OLED display with 60Hz refresh rate, the new Dynamic Island cut-out, and a 48-megapixel rear camera, all wrapped up in a noticeably refreshed exterior.

Inside the same research note, Pu also outlines Apple’s plans for an entry-level MacBook aimed at buyers who don’t need the full power of premium models. The laptop is said to feature a 13-inch display, run on the A18 Pro chip, and be offered in multiple colour options.

Price expectations fall between $699 and $899, although Pu cautions that Apple may need to make certain hardware trade-offs to hit that target range.

On the iPad side, Apple is reportedly preparing the 12th-generation iPad for release in 2026. While the design may stay familiar, the bigger story is the upgrade to the A18 chip. This shift would allow the entry-level iPad to support Apple Intelligence features for the first time. It will be a major step toward making on-device AI capabilities available across more Apple products.

FAQ

Q1. When is the iPhone 17e expected to launch and what are its key upgrades?

Answer. The iPhone 17e is expected in early 2026 with an 18MP selfie camera, A19 chip, Dynamic Island, and improved connectivity via Apple’s C1 modem and N1 wireless chip.

Q2. What other Apple products are planned for 2026 alongside the iPhone 17e?

Answer. Apple is preparing an entry-level MacBook with a 13-inch display powered by the A18 Pro chip, and the 12th-gen iPad with the A18 chip to support Apple Intelligence features.

Q3. How will the iPhone 17e differ from its predecessor, the iPhone 16e?

Answer. Unlike the iPhone 16e, the 17e will feature Dynamic Island instead of a notch, a stronger front camera upgrade to 18MP, and performance closer to flagship models thanks to the A19 chip.

Li revealed that the OnePlus Ace 6T is aimed at users who want flagship-level performance without paying flagship prices. He confirmed that the device will debut Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset on the global stage, promising major improvements in both speed and power efficiency.

The phone will also come with a battery that “starts with an 8,” meaning it will pack an 8,000mAh+ unit, along with support for 100W fast charging.

Gaming is clearly a central focus of the Ace 6T. According to Li, the device includes a new internal gaming engine capable of pushing gameplay up to 165 frames per second, paired with a 165Hz refresh rate display. It will also feature an esports-driven triple-chip architecture and support 144fps mode in Honor of Kings.

Additional gaming-centric features include bypass charging to reduce heat during long sessions and the same high-precision gyroscope used in the OnePlus 15 for improved motion accuracy.

The OnePlus Ace 6T aims to stand out with strong protection ratings. Li confirmed IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications, indicating robust resistance against dust, water, and high-pressure jets.

To keep temperatures in check, OnePlus is introducing a new Glacier cooling system, which the company claims is the largest heat-dissipation structure they have ever designed.

The phone will also offer an ultrasonic 3D fingerprint sensor and a Genshin Impact Kamisato Ayaka special edition.

OnePlus Ace 6T – Design Details and Leaked Renders

OnePlus has also confirmed three colour options, which include Flash Black, Phantom Green, and Electric Purple. The handset will feature smaller, less protruding metal cube camera deco, large flat display with ultra-thin bezels and shortcut key in place of the alert slider. The teasers also reveal silk glass and fibreglass finish with a metal frame and an IR blaster on the top.

Revealed more about the weight, in-hand feel and texture of the phone, OnePlus China head Louis Jie writes on Weibo, “First, weight balance. Most phones, once fitted with an 8-series battery, tend to be top-heavy. We optimised the internal stacking to achieve a 50:50 golden weight distribution, ensuring a balanced feel whether playing games in landscape mode or watching videos in portrait mode. Second, palm fit. The Ace 6T features a specially designed “micro-arc metal frame,” a curve that you’ll “fall in love with the moment you hold it,” visually sleek and more comfortable to hold.”

“Third, texture. The Ace 6T uses two materials this time. “Flash Black” and “Phantom Green” continue the flagship silk glass process, offering a delicate feel and resisting fingerprints. Let me highlight “Electric Purple.” We used the same fiberglass material as top-tier Android flagships, with a more refined process. Especially when rotated under light, the subtle sheen is truly luxurious,” Li adds

In addition, well-known tipster Evan Blass has shared official renders of the Ace 6T, showcasing a flat front display, a dual-camera setup at the back, and a Plus key on the left side. According to leaks, the phone will be available in green and purple colour variants.

The OnePlus 15R is gearing up to be the next major budget flagship from OnePlus. The device was teased earlier this month ahead of its global unveiling, and fresh information has now surfaced online outlining key specifications. A new leak hints at a powerful hardware upgrade that could appeal especially to gamers. Here’s what we know.

OnePlus 15R May Launch With Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

According to a tweet shared by tipster Debayan Roy @Gadgetsdata on X (formerly Twitter), the upcoming OnePlus 15R could debut with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. If accurate, this would place the phone just below the premium OnePlus 15, which runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Tipster Roy claims that his sources have “confirmed” the chipset details for the 15R.

In addition to the processor information, Roy notes that the phone will feature a dual rear camera setup consisting of 50MP + 50MP sensors.

These details align with earlier reports hinting that the OnePlus 15R could become the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 5-powered smartphone to launch in global markets.

Previous reports have claimed that OnePlus 15R model is also expected to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 6T, which is scheduled to debut soon in China.

Microsites for Amazon India and OnePlus India offer a sneak peek at the phone’s rear design. The 15R appears to feature a circular LED flash instead of the pill-shaped vertical flash used on the Ace series. The pages also hint at two colour options, which are green and black.

Meanwhile, the Ace 6T on which the 15R is reportedly based will sport a dual camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. This marks a shift from the previous OnePlus 13R, which included a triple-camera configuration with a telephoto lens. Similar to the flagship OnePlus 15, the 15R seems to be seeing a reduction in camera hardware to maintain its budget-friendly positioning.

Since these details are not officially confirmed yet, the information should still be considered speculative. More updates are expected as OnePlus approaches the device’s official global launch.

FAQs

Q1. What chipset is the OnePlus 15R expected to feature?

Answer. Leaks suggest the OnePlus 15R will debut with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, making it one of the first global smartphones with this processor.

Q2. What camera setup will the OnePlus 15R have?

Answer. The device is tipped to include a dual 50MP rear camera system (main + ultra-wide), a shift from the triple-camera setup of the OnePlus 13R.

Q3. How does the OnePlus 15R differ in design from the Ace 6T?

Answer. While reportedly based on the Ace 6T, the 15R features a circular LED flash instead of a pill-shaped one and will be available in green and black colour options.

Apple To Focus Towards Performance and Stability For iOS 27, Reveals Gurman

0

Highlights

  • Apple will prioritise performance, reliability and stability in iOS 27.
  • Apple still plans to add AI-driven tools including a new health agent possibly tied to Apple Health+ and its first AI-enhanced web search.
  • Additional improvements will target enterprise users, emerging markets with bespoke features, and visual refinements to the Liquid Glass design language.

Apple is expected to change course with next year’s iOS update. According to a recent Bloomberg report, the Cupertino Giant will be shifting its focus away from major feature additions and toward improving reliability and performance. Here’s what we know.

Apple’s Plans for iOS 27

According to the latest Power On newsletter, Apple may finally be hitting pause on aggressive feature rollouts and instead prioritising the “quality and underlying performance” of its software.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is scaling back major new features for WWDC 2026. This strategy will apply not only to iOS 27 and macOS 27 but also to watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and the rest of Apple’s software lineup.

The move comes after the company introduced its new Liquid Glass design language across all major platforms this year. The redesign along with several feature-heavy releases in recent years has prompted growing complaints about software quality among users.

It will be the first time since iOS 12 that Apple places software stability above extensive feature additions.

Gurman writes, “Aiming to improve the software, engineering teams are now combing through Apple’s operating systems, hunting for bloat to cut, bugs to eliminate, and any opportunity to meaningfully boost performance and overall quality. Like Snow Leopard set the groundwork for future overhauls and new types of Macs, iOS 27 will lay the foundation for foldable iPhones and other new hardware.”

iOS 27 – What To Expect?

However, Apple is not expected to completely replicate the “zero new features” philosophy of OS X Snow Leopard from 2009. Gurman notes that Apple will still introduce a set of new AI features in iOS 27 to ensure the company doesn’t fall behind in the ongoing AI race.

Two major AI-powered capabilities that are currently rumoured include –

  • Apple’s new AI health agent, which may debut alongside an Apple Health+ subscription
  • Apple’s first AI-enhanced web search feature

These additions will arrive shortly after the release of an AI-focused Siri update in iOS 26.4. The upgraded Siri is expected to use a custom version of Google Gemini, which will avoid sending any user data to Google’s servers due to Apple’s private cloud compute setup.

Beyond the focus on software stability and AI, Gurman outlines three more areas Apple plans to improve:

  • Enhanced tools and features for enterprise users
  • Tailored (“bespoke”) features designed for emerging markets
  • Visual refinements to the recently introduced Liquid Glass design language

With all these changes, it appears iOS 27 will prioritise polishing rather than adding a large slate of new features.

FAQs

Q1. What is Apple’s main focus for iOS 27?

Answer. Apple will prioritise performance, reliability, and stability over major new features, marking its first quality-focused release since iOS 12.

Q2. Will iOS 27 include any new features despite the stability push?

Answer. Yes. Apple plans to introduce AI-driven tools such as a new AI health agent (possibly tied to Apple Health+) and its first AI-enhanced web search.

Q3. What other improvements are expected in iOS 27?

Answer. Apple aims to deliver enhanced enterprise tools, bespoke features for emerging markets, and visual refinements to its Liquid Glass design language.

Mark Gurman Dismisses Reports Claiming Tim Cook May Step Down as Apple CEO Next Year

0

Highlights

  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman refuted a Financial Times report claiming Tim Cook may step down as Apple CEO in 2025.
  • Gurman called the speculation “simply false” and noted no internal signs of an imminent transition.
  • Previous reports hint that SVP John Ternus is seen as the most likely successor.

Speculations concerning Apple’s possible CEO transitions have been doing the rounds for quite some time now. However, trusted Apple reporter Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has refuted the recent reports suggesting that Apple CEO Tim Cook could exit his role as early as next year.

The original claim was published by the Financial Times and had stated that discussions around Cook’s succession had “recently intensified.” FT report hinted at the possibility of a transition taking place as soon as spring 2025.

Gurman On Tim Cook’s Departure From Apple

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman labelled the report as “simply false,” adding that such a transition is “not at hand.

“Based on everything I’ve learned in recent weeks, I don’t believe a departure by the middle of next year is likely. In fact, I would be shocked if Cook steps down in the time frame outlined by the FT,” Gurman wrote,” he wrote.

According to Gurman, internal indicators at Apple do not support the idea of an imminent leadership change. He noted that Cook has “earned the right” to decide when he steps away from the company. But barring any sudden developments, there is no pressure pushing him out of the role.

Gurman also acknowledged the credibility of the Financial Times, highlighting that a report of this nature would typically require strong confidence. The FT’s short 330-word article notably carried four bylines, an unusual detail that many observers have pointed out.

Speculation has circulated that the FT report could be a “test balloon” floated by Apple to gauge investor reactions. Gurman dismissed this theory as well, stating, “Some people have speculated that the story was a ‘test balloon’ orchestrated by Apple or someone close to Cook to prepare Wall Street for a change, but that isn’t the case either. I believe the story was simply false.”

He added further context on Cook’s tenure, stating, Tim Cook won’t be CEO forever, but a report on his imminent departure was premature. Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook turned 65 this month and is one of the longest-tenured CEOs in Silicon Valley. There will be a day when the company announces a CEO transition, and we’re far closer to the end of Cook’s tenure than we are from the beginning.”

While a transition may eventually happen, Bloomberg notes that current hardware SVP John Ternus is the most likely successor when Cook does retire. However, that change is not expected anytime soon.

Tim Cook has been leading Apple since 2011. During this time, the company’s valuation has grown from around $350 billion to more than $4 trillion. This marks as one of the most successful CEO tenures in tech history.

FAQs

Q1. Is Tim Cook stepping down as Apple CEO in 2025?

Answer. No. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman dismissed the Financial Times report as “simply false,” stating there are no internal signs of an imminent transition and that Cook is unlikely to leave by mid-2025.

Q2. Who is considered the most likely successor when Tim Cook eventually retires?

Answer. Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, John Ternus, is seen as the leading candidate, though Gurman emphasised that such a change is not expected anytime soon.

Q3. How long has Tim Cook been Apple’s CEO, and what impact has he had?

Answer. Cook has led Apple since 2011, during which the company’s valuation grew from about $350 billion to over $4 trillion, making his tenure one of the most successful in tech history.
