Google Photos app for Android adds new frame styles for Memories widget
In August, Google finally launched a new Memories widget for users on the Google Photos app. As per the latest information, Google is now adding some interesting new frame styles to the widget which allows you to display your favorite photos in attractive shapes on your home screen.
Last week, Google officially confirmed that the Google Photos Memory widget will be the first to use a new free-form widget framework. That’s why, the company has now begun sending a new update to the Google Photos app, which brings these new frame styles to the memory widget.
The new frame style for the Memories widget of the Google Photos app carries version 5.65, which is available on the Google Play store. If the update is not suitable for you, you can also load the latest APK from the APKMirror. However, it is generally not recommended to sideload the Google Photos update as you may lose some features.

WhatsApp is testing a new feature with the latest beta update version 2.24.26.9, which will allow users to translate chat messages and channel updates. This feature is currently under development and will be available for beta users soon.
The new translation feature will let users automatically translate all incoming messages or choose to translate specific messages individually. This will help users better understand messages written in different languages to make it easier to communicate with people from around the world.
Notably, the message translations will happen directly on your device, without sending any data to third-party services. This means WhatsApp can maintain its end-to-end encryption to ensure privacy.
The translation feature will also work offline. For that, users can download language packs in advance to allow them to translate messages even when they don’t have an internet connection.
Through this feature, WhatsApp plans to make the translation process quick and simple. But you can’t use WhatsApp fucntions without the internet like sending or receiving messages, watching status, and more. Still, you will soon be able to translate received messages offline.
However, keep in mind that the translations might not always be perfect, as they will be processed offline and may have occasional errors. Stay tuned for more updates.
