Samsung joins MTA to offer seamless file sharing with devices made by other OEMs

Published

on

Samsung Galaxy devices with Android 10 or later features an excellent file sharing function called Quick Share, which seamlessly works between Galaxy phones, tablets, and Galaxy Books. However, users have to download a third-party file-sharing app or use Google’s Nearby Share to share content to non-Galaxy devices.

Meanwhile, a recent report suggests that this problem will be solved soon as Samsung is joining a group of Android OEMs that aims to fix the sharing problem with its own file-sharing standard. According to the info, Samsung has joined the Mutual Transmission Alliance and decided to adopt its wireless file sharing feature.

For those who unaware, MTA was founded two years ago by Chinese OEMs including Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo. Later on, Asus, Black Shark, Hisense, MEIZU, OnePlus, Realme, and ZTE had also joined the alliance. Now, Samsung becomes the latest smartphone brand to join the Mutual Transmission Alliance.

It is reported that Samsung might adopt MTA protocols into its Quick Share function to enable seamless file sharing with every smartphone, tablet, and laptop.

It’s worth mentioning that Mutual Transmission Alliance’s solution employs Bluetooth LE for scanning nearby compatible devices while Wi-Fi Direct-based P2P connection helps to do the file sharing.

Last but not least, we don’t have authentic information regarding the rollout of the new file-sharing function. We’ll keep you posted on this matter whenever genuine data comes. Till then, stay tuned with us!

WhatsApp hidden group chats feature

WhatsApp Beta 2.24.10.13 beta update is rolling out for Android users, which enhances user privacy with a hidden community group chats feature. This feature is currently under development and will be available in future updates.

The new feature of WhatsApp will let users make certain groups invisible within their community chat lists to enhance their control over privacy within the app.

Each hidden group will be easily identified as it will have a special icon next to its name, making it clear to community members that the group is not visible to everyone.

This new feature aims to provide users with more privacy options. It allows hidden participation in group chats, without displaying activity to the entire community. The icon is a simple indicator for users to manage their group chats more effectively.

The Hidden Community Group Chats feature of WhatsApp is mainly useful for community moderators, who will have better tools to manage group privacy and organization. By allowing groups to be hidden, sensitive discussions can be kept confidential.

YouTube Premium Jump Ahead feature

YouTube Premium users now have access to a new feature called ‘Jump Ahead,’ which simplifies video navigation. After the first trial in March 2024, this new feature is now available for testing on youtube.com/new.

With ‘Jump Ahead,’ users can skip parts of a video that are mainly fast-forwarded by others. A temporary pill-shaped button appears after a double tap, which lets users bypass these sections. The feature uses AI to analyze viewing patterns and identify where viewers prefer to jump to.

Now, ‘Jump Ahead’ is part of YouTube testing features and Premium users can find it under the ‘Try experimental new features’ section in the YouTube mobile app settings.

This feature is currently limited to the YouTube Android app in the US, for English-language videos with a significant number of views. It is available for trial until June 1, which may also be extended.
