WhatsApp Brings out Reaction Preview
You have to hand it to WhatsApp to bring out interesting features every now and then to keep their interests piqued because it is with these features that they are able to connect more to the messaging application.
There is a reason why WhatsApp is ahead of its counterparts like Signal and Telegram when it comes to the most popular messaging app in existence because it has many unique features that the other two do not.
The latest buzz is that WhatsApp is rolling out a reaction preview within the chat list but as of now only a handful of beta users can avail it while the update itself was submitted through the TestFlight beta program.
Brief Up
WhatsApp provides regular updates regarding anything new on its official website where it also shared the screenshot of this feature where you can find a chat cell in which the text preview is posted but there isn’t any option to disable the feature even if you keep the reactions notifications disabled.
In the second week of August, WhatsApp came out with a feature through which status updates can be viewed by users within the chat list albeit only to certain beta users on Android.
Battlegrounds Mobile Players taken down from Play Store
Battlegrounds Mobile (BGMI) is an extremely popular mobile game in India but as with any other venture, this too has its fair share of problems with the recent one being that its players are unable to purchase in-game cash for upgrading the Royal Pass due to the application being banned.
The game has vanished without a trace from Play Store due to which Krafton, BGMI’s developer, has blocked the Royale pass purchase. This is just a month after the Indian government banned BGMI in July 2022 amidst privacy and data security concerns.
Only those players are able to access the game that already have prior access to it but they are not able to update it as they did before and are facing problems in purchasing in-grade currency, which is needed to upgrade the Royal pass.
Users are trying their best to somehow purchase UC but get an error message once they do that says that their purchase has been denied and to try again later. On the bright side, players can avail some of the best cosmetic goods from the Royale Pass like Nightfarer outfit, Royal Aurum, set, Gold Feather MK47, Oasis idol over, and their ilk.
However, the players who already have access to the game won’t be able to purchase Royale Pass as makers feel it would be unfair to those players that don’t have access to the game.
