Google has officially unveiled the Gemini 3 family of AI models, calling it the company’s most powerful and intelligent AI system to date. According to the tech giant, Gemini 3 outperforms its previous models as well as OpenAI’s GPT-5.1 across all major benchmark tests. The new generation brings major advancements in reasoning, conversational ability, coding, mathematics, and agentic capabilities. It positions Gemini 3 as a major leap toward more complex, autonomous AI experiences.

In a blog post, CEO Sundar Pichai described the new model as “our most intelligent model.” In an X post introducing the model, Pichai wrote, “It’s the best model in the world for multimodal understanding, and our most powerful agentic + vibe coding model yet. Gemini 3 can bring any idea to life, quickly grasping context and intent so you can get what you need with less prompting.”

Elon Musk and Sam Altman React to Gemini 3

The launch quickly drew responses from prominent AI leaders. Elon Musk, CEO of xAI and one of Google’s biggest rivals in the AI space, reacted on X shortly after Pichai announced “Geminiii,” seemingly a playful nod to the Roman numeral for three. Musk replied with a simple “Congrats.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also acknowledged the development. Posting on X, he wrote, “Congrats to Google on Gemini 3! Looks like a great model.”

Gemini 3 – Features, Models, and Availability

Google announced the Gemini 3 lineup through an official blog post after several cryptic hints from executives on X. The series includes two models, Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Deep Think.

Google explains, “Gemini 3 Pro can bring any idea to life with its state-of-the-art reasoning and multimodal capabilities. It significantly outperforms 2.5 Pro on every major AI benchmark. It tops the LMArena Leaderboard with a breakthrough score of 1501 Elo. It demonstrates PhD-level reasoning with top scores on Humanity’s Last Exam (37.5% without the usage of any tools) and GPQA Diamond (91.9%). It also sets a new standard for frontier models in mathematics, achieving a new state-of-the-art of 23.4% on MathArena Apex.”

Gemini 3 Deep Think, on the other hand, “pushes the boundaries of intelligence even further, delivering a step-change in Gemini 3’s reasoning and multimodal understanding capabilities to help you solve even more complex problems.”

The rollout is happening at scale, meaning users will encounter Gemini 3’s capabilities across the Gemini apps and website, AI Mode in Search, AI Studio, and Vertex AI for developers. Google also introduced a new development environment called Google Antigravity to support agentic AI workflows.

Reliance Jio confirmed that all users subscribed to the free Google AI Pro plan will gain access to Gemini 3 Pro.

However, availability varies between the two models. Gemini 3 Pro is the most advanced variant accessible to users and is launching in preview and will be integrated into Google’s suite of products. Meanwhile, Gemini 3 Deep Think is designed for enhanced reasoning and is currently restricted to safety testers and will later be made available exclusively to Google AI Ultra subscribers.

Performance – Outshining GPT-5.1 and Claude 4.5 Sonnet

Google shared early benchmark data for Gemini 3 Pro based on internal evaluations. The results show the model outperforming both its predecessor and OpenAI’s GPT-5.1 on every major benchmark. It also beats Anthropic’s Claude 4.5 Sonnet in all but two tests, AIME 2025 (math) and SWE-Bench (coding).

On Humanity’s Last Exam, an advanced academic reasoning benchmark considered extremely challenging, Gemini 3 Pro scored 37.5 per cent without tools. This surpasses the previous high score of 26.5 per cent set by GPT-5.1. On the ARC-AGI-2 visual reasoning benchmark, a key measure of artificial general intelligence (AGI), Gemini 3 Pro achieved 31.1 per cent, significantly higher than GPT-5.1’s 17.6 per cent and Gemini 2.5 Pro’s 4.9 per cent.

Google also claims substantial progress in coding performance, especially in frontend development. Gemini 3 Pro can now generate complete functional websites, apps, and scalable vector graphics (SVGs).

For Gemini 3 Deep Think, Google reports even higher figures. It scores 41.0 per cent on Humanity’s Last Exam and 45.1 per cent on ARC-AGI-2. However, this model is not yet available to users.

Google Antigravity – A New Agentic Development Platform

Alongside Gemini 3, Google introduced Antigravity. It is an agentic development platform designed for developers to work alongside AI agents. It acts as an AI-driven integrated development environment (IDE) with access to Gemini 3’s reasoning abilities, tool use, and agentic coding features. Agents operate in isolated workspaces equipped with an editor, terminal, and browser.

WhatsApp for iOS Begins Testing Multi-Account Support, Will Bring Seamless Account Switching for iPhone Users

0

Highlights

  • WhatsApp is testing the ability to add and switch between two accounts on iOS.
  • Each account retains separate chats, notifications, and privacy settings. Switching is instant with App Lock integration via Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode.
  • The feature is now available to select beta testers on iOS version 25.34.10.72, with wider release expected soon.

It appears WhatsApp is finally addressing a long-demanded feature from iPhone users. Yes, you probably guessed it right. Meta-owned messaging platform has started testing multi-account support on iOS for users who want to manage more than one phone number on the same iPhone.

This new capability will allow users to add and switch between two WhatsApp accounts within the same app. It is a convenience that was previously limited to Android or achieved through workarounds like WhatsApp Business. Each account will retain separate chats, notifications, and privacy settings, and switching between accounts will be instantaneous without logging out. Here’s all we know about the current testing phase.

WhatsApp Beta for iOS Rolls Out Early Multi-Account Support

According to the trusted feature tracker WABetaInfo, multi-account support is now visible to select beta testers running WhatsApp beta for iOS version 25.34.10.72. A new “Account List” section in the settings menu lets users add up to two accounts, whether it’s a brand-new number, an existing WhatsApp account, or a companion account linked using a QR code.

All personal data from chat histories and backups to privacy settings remains fully isolated for each account.

WhatsApp has also refined how notifications behave with this new feature. Alerts will appear even if messages arrive on an inactive account, and each notification will clearly display which account it belongs to.

Users can switch accounts through the Account List or by using shortcuts like long-pressing the Settings tab or double-tapping it. A quick toast message confirms every account switch.

The multi-account feature has also been integrated with App Lock security. When accessing a locked account, users will need to authenticate via Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode, WABetaInfo noted. Accounts can be removed and re-added at any time and WhatsApp will remember previously used numbers for faster login in the future.

With this update, WhatsApp aims to give iPhone users a more organised and secure way to manage personal and work numbers in a single app. While the feature is currently rolling out only to a small group of beta testers, a wider release is expected in upcoming versions.

WhatsApp initially introduced multi-account support on Android in 2023. Since its full rollout, Android users have been able to add a second number directly in the app without relying on cloning tools, third-party apps, or separate devices.

FAQs

Q1. What is WhatsApp’s new multi-account feature for iOS?

Answer. It allows iPhone users to add and switch between two WhatsApp accounts in the same app, each with separate chats, notifications, and privacy settings, without logging out.

Q2. Who can access the multi-account feature on iOS right now?

Answer. The feature is currently available to select beta testers using WhatsApp beta for iOS version 25.34.10.72, with a wider rollout expected in future updates.

Q3. How does WhatsApp ensure security and ease of use with multiple accounts?

Answer. Users can switch accounts via the Account List or quick gestures, and each account is protected by App Lock using Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode. Notifications clearly indicate which account they belong to.

xAI, has rolled out Grok 4.1, the newest iteration of its AI model. Elon Musk announced the release on X, emphasising that the update brings notable boosts in both performance and reliability. As per Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, Grok 4.1 significantly cuts down the likelihood of hallucinations, situations where the AI generates false information while presenting it as fact.

Musk highlighted the improvements in a post on X, saying, Grok 4.1 just released. You should notice a significant increase in speed and quality. Here’s more on the newly launched Grok model.

xAI’s Grok 4.1 – What We Know?

Internal tests conducted by xAI indicate that Grok 4.1 is “exceptionally capable in creative, emotional, and collaborative interactions,” all while maintaining the core intelligence and dependability of its earlier versions. The latest update enhances the model’s ability to interpret tone, respond to emotions, and engage in conversations that feel more intuitive and human-like.

Interestingly, the model appears to have developed a mildly mischievous personality as well.

image

Shortly after launch, Grok 4.1 climbed to the top of two major AI performance charts. It achieved a preliminary score of 1483 on LMArena’s Text Leaderboard, outperforming every publicly available model. It also secured the first position on EQ-Bench3, an emotional intelligence-focused benchmark assessed by Claude Sonnet 3.7.

The update brings notable improvements in emotional awareness and writing finesse. Conversations now feel more fluid and natural with responses often infused with subtle empathy or humour. Whether you ask for travel suggestions in San Francisco or a witty post to share on X, the replies feel more like they’re coming from a sharp, personable companion rather than a typical chatbot. xAI attributes this progress to the addition of expert “AI tutors” used to refine the model’s tone and conversational style.

However, the update also introduces a few concerns.

Model cards for Grok 4.1 reveal slightly higher tendencies toward dishonesty and manipulation compared to its predecessor. It also shows increased willingness to engage in sensitive or problematic content during Thinking mode and appears more susceptible to prompt-injection vulnerabilities via the API. While xAI positions Grok 4.1 as a more expressive and less restricted model, these issues still warrant attention.

Grok 4.1 – Availability

Grok 4.1 is already available across all platforms. It is available for free on http://grok.com, http://grok.x.com and X mobile apps.

OnePlus has officially made the microsite for the upcoming OnePlus 15R live on both the OnePlus India website and Amazon India. While most of the details are under wraps, the microsite is giving users an early look at the smartphone. Earlier, the brand had confirmed that the device during the global launch event of the OnePlus 15. However, no one really anticipated its appearance this soon.

OnePlus 15R – Microsite Teaser

The teaser visuals offer a partial view of the phone’s rear panel. After enhancing the exposure on the promotional image, the design layout of the camera module becomes clearer. Moreover, the two colour variants of Green and Black can also be seen in the teaser.

Previous reports suggested that the OnePlus 15R could be a rebadged version of the OnePlus Ace 6, which was recently unveiled in China. However, the design shown on the microsite points to some differences, especially around the camera setup.

On the Ace 6, the LED flash sits in a pill-shaped housing next to the main camera. In contrast, the OnePlus 15R features a circular LED flash placed beside the top camera sensor. The overall camera module maintains a vertically aligned rectangular layout with two sensors stacked vertically and rounded edges.

The teaser also highlights the volume rockers positioned on the right frame, while a button on the left side is likely the “Plus Key.” The microsite further confirms that the phone will ship with OxygenOS 16 out of the box.

OnePlus 15R – What Else We Know?

As for the rumoured specifications, the OnePlus 15R is expected to feature a 6.7-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a high-refresh 165Hz panel. Powering the device could be Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and as much as 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

For photography, the smartphone may include a dual-camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The device could also house a massive 8,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast charging.

More official information is expected to roll out soon as OnePlus prepares for the device’s formal launch.

X Chat Officially Rolls Out, Encrypted DMs, File Sharing, and Advanced Privacy Controls Go Live

0

Highlights

  • X Chat introduces end-to-end encryption for one-on-one and group chats, file sharing, voice/video calls, disappearing messages, and screenshot alerts.
  • It is now live on iOS and Web, while it is expected to come on Android soon.
  • Chats use device-linked public-private key pairs and local encryption.

image

Elon Musk’s X (previously known as Twitter) has now officially rolled out its new messaging experience called X Chat. As we previously reported, it is a privacy-focused upgrade to its previous direct messaging system. The new Chat interface merges traditional DMs with end-to-end encrypted chats and supports both one-on-one and group conversations.

As announced by Musk earlier, X Chat users can now share files, make voice and video calls, and soon send voice memos (a feature returning in an upcoming update). The platform also brings tools to edit or delete messages, set disappearing messages, get alerts when someone takes a screenshot, block screenshots entirely, and ensure all chats remain free from ads and tracking.

X Chat – Availability

Chat is now available on iOS and the Web with Android support set to roll out soon.

How Chat Handles Encryption and Device Security?

When a user opens Chat for the first time, X generates a public-private key pair linked to their account. The private key is secured by a PIN stored only on the device and can be restored on other devices using the same PIN. Every conversation is encrypted with a unique key and these keys are exchanged securely through users’ public-private key pairs.

Encrypted messages sync across multiple devices, but logging out removes encrypted chats and keys from that specific device. However, the private key can still be restored on another device through the PIN.

All content such as messages, reactions, files, and links is encrypted locally before sending and stays encrypted on X’s servers until the recipient decrypts it. X has confirmed that a detailed technical whitepaper explaining the encryption architecture will be published later in 2025.

Who Can Use X Chat?

To send or receive encrypted chats on X, users must

  • Use the latest version of X on iOS, Android, or the Web
  • Follow or subscribe to each other, have previously exchanged messages, or have accepted an encrypted DM before

Additionally, users can send encrypted message requests to:

  • People who have enabled the option to receive encrypted DMs from anyone
  • Verified users who allow encrypted messages from other Verified users

Security Constraints and Known Limitations

While group conversations and shared media are encrypted, certain metadata including timestamps and recipient details are not encrypted.

Other limitations include –

  • Forward secrecy is not yet supported; compromised device keys may reveal past messages
  • No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks yet, though future updates will add signature verification and “safety numbers”
  • Encrypted messages currently cannot be reported directly; users must report issues through the account instead

Message Controls and Grok Integration

Chat includes several message management features –

  • Delete / Unsend – Removes messages from recipients’ inboxes and syncs deletion across all devices
  • Disappearing Messages – Allows automatic deletion after a selected time interval
  • Grok Support – Users can analyse messages or images via Grok. However, any content sent to Grok is not encrypted, though the original chat remains encrypted.

FAQs

Q1. What is X Chat and what features does it offer?

Answer. X Chat is Elon Musk’s revamped messaging system on X (formerly Twitter), offering end-to-end encrypted one-on-one and group chats, file sharing, voice/video calls, disappearing messages, screenshot alerts, and ad-free communication.

Q2. How does encryption work in X Chat?

Answer. Each user gets a public-private key pair secured by a device PIN. Messages, files, and reactions are encrypted locally and stored encrypted on X’s servers. Encryption keys are exchanged securely and sync across devices, but logging out deletes them from that device.

Q3. Who can send or receive encrypted messages on X?

Answer. Users must follow or subscribe to each other, have exchanged messages before, or accept an encrypted DM. Verified users can also enable encrypted messages from other verified users or anyone, depending on their settings.

Highlights

  • WhatsApp’s Click to Chat feature lets users start chats using a direct link like https://wa.me/<number>.

WhatsApp now offers a convenient way to start conversations without saving a contact, making it ideal for quick interactions, business inquiries, or one-time chats. The feature works smoothly across smartphones and WhatsApp Web, allowing users to open a conversation simply by generating or tapping a link. This not only streamlines communication but also helps keep your contact list clutter-free.

Here’s how you can use this option to send WhatsApp messages without adding a number to your phonebook.

How to Send a WhatsApp Message Without Saving the Contact?

WhatsApp’s built-in Click to Chat tool lets you directly open a chat window with any phone number registered on WhatsApp.

Using Click to Chat –

  • To create your own link, use the following format – https://wa.me/<number>
  • Replace <number> with the complete phone number in international format, ensuring you remove symbols like brackets, dashes, or leading zeroes.

Examples:

Use – https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX

Don’t use – https://wa.me/+001-(XXX)XXXXXXX

Tapping the link will take you directly to a chat window with that number inside WhatsApp.

Create a Link With a Pre-Filled Message

You can also generate a link that opens WhatsApp with a message already typed out.

Format – https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext

(where whatsappphonenumber is the full number in international format, and urlencodedtext is the pre-filled message)

Example –

https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I’m%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale

If you want to create a link that only contains a message (without specifying a number), use:

https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext

Example – https://wa.me/?text=I’m%20inquiring%20about%20the%20apartment%20listing

After generating the link, tapping it will either allow you to choose a contact or send the message directly.

Using the Official “Chat on WhatsApp” Button

WhatsApp also provides a dedicated Chat on WhatsApp button designed for businesses, websites, and creators. This button follows WhatsApp’s branding guidelines, making it recognisable and trustworthy. It comes in green or white and is available in small, medium, and large sizes. Currently, the feature is available only in English.

Important Guidelines –

  • Use the button without altering its appearance
  • Download and apply the newest button design
  • Place the button in a clearly visible area for easy access

Common Placement Areas – Website landing pages, Contact pages, Mobile apps, Mobile website versions and Third-party templates

HTML Example – <a aria-label=”Chat on WhatsApp” href=”https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX”>

  <img alt=”Chat on WhatsApp” src=”WhatsAppButtonGreenLarge.svg” />

</a>

Using WhatsApp’s Click to Chat links or the official button makes it easier to start conversations without saving temporary contacts. These tools simplify communication for both personal and business use, offering a fast and clutter-free way to connect.

FAQs

Q1. How can I send a WhatsApp message without saving a contact?

Answer. You can use WhatsApp’s Click to Chat feature by creating a link in this format: https://wa.me/<number>, replacing <number> with the full international phone number (no symbols or spaces).

Q2. Can I pre-fill a message in the WhatsApp link?

Answer. Yes, use this format: https://wa.me/<number>?text=urlencodedtext. For example:

https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I’m%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale.

Q3. What is the “Chat on WhatsApp” button and who is it for?

Answer. It’s an official WhatsApp button for websites, apps, and creators to let users start chats easily. It follows WhatsApp’s branding and is available in multiple sizes and colors.

Vivo has officially announced that its next S-series lineup, the Vivo S50 series, will debut in China in December. As expected, the company has skipped the S40 naming because the number 4 is considered inauspicious in China. The confirmation comes through a microsite on Vivo China Mall, although the brand has not yet disclosed the exact launch date or the specific models that will be introduced. Rumours suggest that the lineup may include the Vivo S50 and a Vivo S50 Pro Mini, following a pattern similar to the Vivo S30 and S30 Pro Mini.

Vivo S50 Series – What Else We Know?

Like we mentioned, the Chinese smartphone company has not shared any official specifications so far. However, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) recently revealed key details on Weibo.

According to DCS, the Vivo S50 series is expected to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a processor still awaiting its official announcement. DCS also claimed that the series may use a Sony IMX882 main camera and include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint 2.0 sensor.

Adding to this, Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao has confirmed that the S50 lineup will offer LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage with speeds reaching up to 9600 Mbps. He also reiterated that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC will power the series, though it is likely limited to the S50 Pro Mini.

Vivo S50 Pro Mini – Key Specs (Leaked)

In a separate post, Weibo tipster DCS revealed more detailed information about the S50 Pro Mini. The device is tipped to launch with the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, which is set to debut first on the OnePlus Ace 6T. Vivo appears ready to follow immediately after.

The S50 Pro Mini is said to sport a 6.3-inch flat display, putting it in the same size category as the iPhone Air. Despite being tagged as the “Mini,” the phone may feature a huge 6,500mAh battery, larger than many mainstream flagship models. The device is also rumoured to adopt a horizontal camera bar resembling the one on the iPhone Air. Within this module, Vivo will reportedly use a 50MP Sony IMX9-series primary sensor and a 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens.

Additional leaks mention an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and what DCS describes as “full-level” water resistance. This most likely means both IP68 and IP69 certifications. In the comments, the tipster added that both S50 models will feature a metal frame and a periscope telephoto camera.

Vivo has also confirmed that the S50 series will offer flagship-level performance thanks to LPDDR5X RAM (9600Mbps) and UFS 4.1 storage. Meanwhile, the standard Vivo S50 is rumoured to include a larger 6.59-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Both phones may support 90W fast charging.

Vivo S50 May Launch Globally as Vivo V70

Vivo’s S-series typically reaches global markets under the V-series branding. For example, China’s Vivo S30 was launched internationally as the Vivo V60. Following this pattern, many tech enthusiasts are assuming that the Vivo S50 lineup may launch globally as the Vivo V70. However, conflicting reports have surfaced and further clarity is expected soon.

Meanwhile, a Vivo device featuring 90W fast charging appeared on China’s 3C certification website. As per reports, it most likely belongs to the upcoming S50 lineup. We can expect more official details from Vivo as the launch date approaches.

FAQs

Q1. When is the Vivo S50 series launching and why was the S40 skipped?

Answer. The Vivo S50 series is confirmed to launch in China in December 2025. Vivo skipped the “S40” name as the number 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese culture.

Q2. What are the key leaked specs of the Vivo S50 Pro Mini?

Answer. The S50 Pro Mini is expected to feature the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a 6.3-inch flat display, 6,500mAh battery, 50MP Sony IMX9-series and IMX882 cameras, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and IP68/IP69 water resistance.

Q3.Will the Vivo S50 series launch globally under a different name?

Answer. Yes, based on past trends, the Vivo S50 series is likely to launch globally as the Vivo V70 series, although official confirmation is still pending.
