That's a six: WhatsApp joins IPL fever with cricket stickers

The stickers are currently available for Android users.
Joining the Indian Premier League fever in the country, and counting down to the World Cup, WhatsApp introduced stickers to mark the cricket season. The messaging app rolled out its Cricket Matchup sticker pack for Anroid devices. The stickers are expected to arrive on iOS soon.

They will be available to Android users with the updated 2.19.115 or higher version of the app.

A bunch of cute stickers will help users celebrate that six or wicket as their favourite teams play. However, don't expect to see miniature caricatures of Kohli and Dhoni on your WhatsApp, rather the stickers depict different elements of the game including century, no ball, boundary among others.


WhatsApp had introduced support for stickers in the app last year.

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.
