GCam for Exynos:
It was very easy to find a GCam for the device running Snapdragon chipset but very difficult to get one for the Exynos chip. The problem is now resolved and we have a working GCam mode for Exynos devices, thanks to developer Zoran.
GCam by Zoran is based on Arnova’s Gcam 6.1 versions. You can also try the older/different versions of GCam on the older devices.
ZGCam is compatible with the following models:
- Galaxy Note 20 series
- Galaxy S20 series
- Galaxy Note 10 series
- Galaxy S10 series
- Galaxy S9 series
- Galaxy Note 9
- Galaxy S8 series
- Galaxy Note 8
Important:
- Uninstall previous any GCam and delete config files.
- Fixes are automatically Loaded per device.
- You need to disable Framing Hints in Settings, in case of app crash.
- Do not use Configs from v6.1.
- Configs are now only for changing the style of the image and how they are denoised, sharpness, and so on.
- This apk uses the Samsung 3D Scanner app’s package name so Auxiliary lens work. Uninstall that app before installing this GCam.
- If the viewfinder freezes or if the app is crashing, open the settings menu and disable the “framing hints” option.
You can download the ZGCAM for your Samsung Galaxy device from the link below.

WhatsApp Beta helps you never forget unread messages from important contacts
WhatsApp has released a fresh beta update with version 2.24.25.29, which brings a reminder notification feature for unread chat messages. This new beta update is available for Android via the Google Play Beta Program.
Previously, WhatsApp only sent reminders for status updates from specific contacts, mainly those you interact with the most. With the new update, WhatsApp is expanding this feature to remind you about unread chat messages from your most frequent contacts.
These reminders are sent for messages from people you chat with the most. If you leave a message unread, WhatsApp will notify you to make sure you don’t forget to reply.
Notably, the app uses an internal algorithm to choose these contacts based on how often you interact with them. However, if you reinstall the app, this data will be reset, as it’s not saved in backups or on WhatsApp’s servers.
Once this feature is activated, WhatsApp will remind you about any unread messages from important contacts. WhatsApp also makes sure the reminders are relevant and helpful without being annoying.
This feature is currently available to limited beta testers who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp Beta for Android. WhatsApp also plans to roll it out to more users.
WhatsApp adds floating button and gestures for faster group voice chats
