WhatsApp users on iPhone may soon be making the most of a new feature that allows preview of voice messages. While there is no word regarding the roll-out of this feature, reports suggest that the feature is still in the developmental phase.

Earlier, Android and iOS users were required to open a chat in order to listen to voice messages. With the new tool, iPhone users will be able to send notifications for voice messages with the help of a tool. Reports suggest that the new feature will be rolled out as a part of the iOs 13 update. Users are also likely to get dark mode on iOS 13.

WhatsApp is also working on a quick media edit shortcut for Android and iOS. The feature will allow users to quickly edit pictures and other audio-visual forms of media quickly before sending it across.

Almost every smartphone user knows about Corning’s Gorilla Glass — chemically strengthened glass that is used for protection on the front and even on the rear of some phones. This is tough to do because this glass also has to be optically perfect — any small imperfections will be visible.

Corning just announced the latest version called Gorilla Glass 6 which they claim can survive multiple drops without breaking. They also say it is twice as strong as Gorilla Glass 5 with enhanced scratch resistance to boot. It will not exactly be shatterproof but you can expect your smartphone to be able to withstand a few drops before the glass breaks. The glass is already in production so you can expect premium devices to get this added protection within the next few months.

Call recording is one of the most requested features in a smartphone. Some smartphones have this feature built-in (which is ideal) and there are some paid apps that offer it (performance varies across devices). Truecaller has come to the rescue by adding call recording option to the latest update. Note that call recording is only available for Android phones. Tap on the profile icon on top left corner to access the menu and you will see the recording option. A floating button appears when the call is connected and a simple tap starts recording the conversation. Recordings are saved directly to your phone’s internal storage and not on the cloud. You can get free call recording for 14 days and after that you have to upgrade to a premium account to use it.
