But, how to share files until the update arrives

Android Auto app lets users use apps and read messages while keeping their hands on the wheel. It offers a useful feature of having incoming messages read out loud. However, some users have recently noticed an issue where WhatsApp messages are being read with an unexpected “oh” added to the end.
Several Android Auto users have reported that when WhatsApp messages are read aloud, an extra “oh” is added at the end. This “oh” doesn’t appear in the original message at all, which makes it seem like a random glitch. Many people have shared their experiences on Reddit, describing the same issue.
While the exact cause of this bug is still unclear, it seems to be connected to Google Assistant, which reads the messages aloud in Android Auto. The strange part is that this issue only happens with WhatsApp only, other messaging apps don’t seem to be affected.
This weird bug doesn’t have any functional impact on Android Auto or WhatsApp, it’s just a bit confusing and funny too. At the moment, there’s no word on when a fix will be available, but it’s something many users hope will be addressed in a future update.
If you’re using Android Auto, have you encountered this strange bug, or are you one of the lucky ones who hasn’t been affected? Stay tuned with us for more updates.

Some Samsung users have reported an issue where text in photos appears with a shadow when viewed in the Gallery app. This issue makes it harder to read or view certain images clearly. It is mainly affecting Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition users.
Notably, this text shadow issue occurs on Samsung devices when the Super HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature is enabled, particularly with high-resolution images (50MP/200MP) containing text on bright backgrounds.
Samsung has acknowledged the issue and identified the cause of it, which is related to the Super HDR setting. Fortunately, there is an easy way to temporarily fix the issue while waiting for a permanent fix.

Moreover, Samsung is also working on a software update to fix this issue permanently. Once the update is available, the issue should be resolved, and you will be able to re-enable Super HDR without experiencing text display issues.
To check the update, open Settings >> Software Update >> Download and Install option. Keep an eye out for the software update notification, and make sure to install it as soon as it becomes available.
