New useful settings or functions appear in WhatsApp every now and then. In most cases, the developers test the new features in the pre-release versions of the popular messenger. This is also the case with the current example, which is not only aimed at forgetful users. It happens again and again that people simply want to be reminded of certain messages at a selected time. The programmers now want to solve precisely this problem.

Apple recently revised the design of its operating systems across the board. Whether iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, visionOS 26, or macOS Tahoe 26 — the similarities are apparent immediately. The new Liquid Glass design provides a modern, transparent look that is consistent across all systems. However, macOS Tahoe 26 not only introduces a fresh look, but also exclusive functions for the Mac.

Until now, the Apple community has expected the Cupertino-based company to present iOS 19, watchOS 13, macOS 16, tvOS 19, and visionOS 3, among others, this year. This is all set to change in one fell swoop when the iPhone manufacturer unveils the new operating systems at the WWDC developer conference in early June. As Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes, Apple is following in the footsteps of Microsoft and Samsung and has other plans. What looks like a big leap at first glance will make naming much easier in the future.

The WhatsApp developers want to help you with a new function and further improve the popular messenger. The aim is to make it easier to search for photos, videos, documents, and links.

Something is happening on WhatsApp. It doesn’t always have to be a brand-new feature in a preview version that you might not be able to use for a few weeks or even months. Much more important are features that you can already find in your app today. That’s exactly why the developer of Messenger published a summary of the recently introduced features. In total, there are 12 new features spread across the entire app.

WhatsApp has established itself as one of the most popular messaging apps, but at a time when data protection is paramount, new features are in high demand. Enter a new function called “Enhanced Chat Privacy.” It not only gives users more control, but also changes the way conversations are conducted. Curious? Then stay tuned!

While iOS 18 was widely available to all devices compatible with its predecessor, it looks like Apple’s upcoming iOS 19 may leave some older models behind. According to a recent leak, three iPhones from 2018 might miss out on the new update.

The excitement is building, and the anticipation among Apple fans is palpable – the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 is just around the corner. Apple has now officially announced the date for the event, where you will get your first glimpse of iOS 19, macOS 16, and numerous other software innovations. The rumor mill is buzzing and points to exciting changes that could affect both design and functionality.

Rumors are growing that Apple is on the verge of one of the most significant overhauls of its operating systems in ten years. What does this mean for the iPhone, iPad and Mac? We shed light on this in this article.

Apple has made it a tradition to introduce a series of new features at its annual developer conference in June. However, these features are typically rolled out gradually over the following months, rather than launching all at once in September. So far, the company has generally managed to keep these promises, even if some features took longer to arrive.

Tim Cook was right—there really is something in the air. Following the presentation of the iPad Air with the M3 chip, it’s now the MacBook Air and Mac Studio’s turn. The rumors about Apple’s go-to laptop for most buyers have proven true. After the introduction of the M4 chip last year, it was almost inevitable that the MacBook Air would receive the upgrade sooner or later. What’s surprising, however, are the subtle refinements and the lower price.

Following the presentation of the iPhone 16e (review) a few days ago, Apple has even more surprises in store. And this time, it’s not just about new hardware—some of the technical specifications are equally unexpected.

According to Apple, iOS 18 is installed on 76 percent of iPhones released in the past four years—an improvement over last year’s adoption of iOS 17. An upcoming upgrade aims to push this figure even higher. iOS 18.4 offers a clearer preview of the forthcoming enhancements. Here’s a look at the latest features in the next iPhone update.

Apple is under increasing pressure to act. Competitors like Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Amazon have developed in-house solutions that enable natural conversations between humans and machines. And what does Apple have? Siri.

With the iPhone 16e, Apple has introduced a new addition to its smartphone lineup—and it’s the cheapest model in the latest range. But to hit that lower price point, Apple had to cut a few corners. While you still get useful features like Face ID, some other options didn’t make the cut. So, if you’re thinking about upgrading, ask yourself: Which features really matter to you? The 16e might check all your boxes—or you could find it’s missing something you can’t live without.

Apple TV+ has steadily grown in popularity alongside Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, thanks to its regularly released, highly anticipated shows and movies. However, Android smartphone and tablet users have long been left out. Unlike Apple Music, Apple TV+ lacked a dedicated app for non-Apple devices, forcing users to rely on a clunky browser experience with limited features. That’s changing now—the Apple TV+ app is finally available in the Play Store.
