Google released YouTube Music for Wear OS 2 watches powered by Snapdragon Wear 3100
At I/O 2021 in May, Google confirmed its streaming service to the YouTube Music app for Wear OS. The company released the app following the launch of the Galaxy Watch 4 in August.
However, it initially supported the new Wear OS 3 smartwatches from Samsung. Late last month, YouTube began releasing an update for the application that added support for other Wear OS 2 devices including Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 4100 or 4100+ chipset. Now, the company is releasing another update with the support of a few Snapdragon Wear 3100 watches.
According to 9to5Google, Google has begun releasing another update to the YouTube Music Wear OS app on the Google Play Store. The update adds support for two Snapdragon Wear 3100 watches using the Wear OS 2 – Moto 360 and TAG Heuer Connected. If you have one of these smartwatches, you can now download the YouTube Music app from the Google Play Store.

At the moment, we are not sure if the update expands the support of other Snapdragon Wear 3100 watches using Wear OS 2 or not. If you happen to be using a Fossil Gen 5 watch or another Snapdragon Wear 3100 watch, be sure to comment to let us know if the YouTube Music app is available.
If the YouTube Music app is not available via your smartwatch, you can try to install the unofficial YouTube Music app on the Wear OS 2 smartwatches.

WhatsApp is updating its app for Android devices with a useful feature for group calls with a new update. The latest version arrives with version 2.24.19.14 and is available through the Google Play Beta Program.
With the latest update, WhatsApp brings a new ability to create call links directly within group chats. Before, you had to go to the calls tab to generate a link for voice or video calls. Now, the latest update lets you make a call link from the chat itself.
Through this update, you don’t need to ring everyone in the group to start a call. Instead, you can share a link in the group chat to join the call. The new feature makes it easier to start and join calls in group chats.
Once you create the link, you can easily send it to the group, and members can join the call by clicking the link whenever they want. It’s particularly useful for big groups or people in different time zones who may not be available at the same time.
The call link feature of group chats is currently available through the WhatsApp beta update. The company will soon make it available for all users in upcoming stable updates.

Samsung has released a new update for its Blockchain Wallet app with version 1.4.09.4. This update brings a fix for an issue that users have been experiencing with transferring certain ERC20 tokens.
Users had trouble transferring some of the ERC20 tokens, which could be frustrating and problematic. The new update fixes these transfer issues to make the wallet app more reliable and easier to use for managing digital assets.
In addition to this, the update also fixes some minor issues that users encountered in the previous version. It also enhances some functions to provide a smoother experience.
Samsung Blockchain Wallet is a non-custodial virtual asset wallet service that allows you to send virtual assets to others and enjoy recommended Apps.
Moreover, this app enables you to securely sign and authorize virtual asset transactions using your virtual asset private key, which is kept in a secure enclave built into your Samsung Galaxy device. With the fresh update, you can enjoy the enhanced functionality.

Several Android users have recently reported that Google Maps keeps crashing. The issue affects Android users using both stable and beta versions of the app, specifically with versions 11.144.x and 11.145.x.
Users on various Android devices including Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones have noted that Google Maps opens normally but then closes suddenly after a few seconds. This makes the app unusable for checking maps or getting directions.
Notably, the issue seems to be more common for those on the Android 15 Beta, though people with the stable version are also facing the same.
If you’re experiencing this issue, you can try a temporary solution to fix it. You can uninstall recent updates of Google Maps, just need to go to the App info page, and tap on the Uninstall updates option and this may help to fix.
Since Google Maps is often preinstalled on devices, you can’t completely uninstall it. Older versions of the app don’t seem to have this problem, so rolling back to a previous version could be a solution for now.
As of now, Google hasn’t acknowledged the issue or commented on releasing a fix. Not everyone is having this issue, so if your Google Maps is still working, that’s good. If you facing the Google Maps issue, you need to pause updates until this issue is resolved. Stay tuned for updates from Google for a permanent solution.
