Gmail crossed 10 billion downloads milestone on Google Play Store
Gmail is a very essential application developed by Google, which comes preinstalled on almost every Android smartphone. It offers robust security, real-time notifications, multiple account support, and much more. As per the information, Gmail has now surpassed 10 billion (10B+) downloads on the Google Play store, which is a big achievement for the Gmail app after a long time.
Gmail 10B+downloads
Reaching 10 billion downloads indicates that Gmail is part of the Play Store app and can reach installs that way. Gmail began its journey as just a place to send and receive email communications, it has evolved in recent years with the integration of Chat and Meet as part of a broader “Workspace” rebrand and upgrade.[9to5google]
We are expecting this kind of download for Gmail, but because of its popularity and necessity, it takes a surprisingly very long time. This could be due to several reasons, the most notable being the fact that the mobile web app provides almost everything without having to be installed directly on the smartphone.
Apart from this, a few months ago, Google has also announced the Material You widget for Gmail through update With this, the app has modernized its existing widgets with only a little dynamic color. The rounded square FAB appears in the upper right corner, with the narrowest layout, displaying a list of messages and an archive button on the right.

Color themes for chats are an upcoming feature for WhatsApp users. This feature will allow users to change the chat theme to match their style preferences. Selecting a theme will apply it across the entire application, whether for personal or group chats.
The app-wide implementation aims to offer a uniform and consistent look across the entire app. Once enabled, you can also alter the theme for specific chats, similar to how you apply conversation background wallpaper on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp is releasing a new beta update for Android, which reveals that the company is developing a new feature that lets users search images on the web. The fresh beta update can be identified through version 2.24.21.31.
The Search images on the web feature of WhatsApp will allow users to check the authenticity of images they receive to make it easier to spot misleading or fake content.
When a user wants to search for an image, it will be uploaded to Google, which helps them find similar images or sources online to quickly get more information.
Notably, WhatsApp ensures privacy by not storing or processing these images. While the image is sent to Google for searching, it remains private and secure.
With this new feature, users will be able to use any image, whether sent by a friend or received in a forwarded message for search on the web to verify them online.
In addition to the image search, WhatsApp is also developing a feature to check links in frequently forwarded messages to verify their authenticity.
The image search feature is currently under development and will be available in a future update. Users can expect more information soon as WhatsApp continues to enhance its platform. Stay Tuned!
WhatsApp introduces call link feature to group and individual chats
WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update with version 2.24.21.29, which comes with a handy call link feature. This update makes it easier for users to start calls in both individual and group chats.
With this new feature, users can easily generate call links without needing to go to the Calls tab. The call link shortcut is now located in the chat attachment menu. Previously, creating call links was a bit complicated since users had to go to the Calls tab to generate them.
Now, to use the Call Links feature, simply tap the attachment icon while chatting. This makes starting a call faster and more convenient since you can do it right from your ongoing conversation.
Initially, the call link feature was only available for group chats, but now it works for individual chats as well. Many people might not have known they could create call links before, but this update makes it clear and easy to use.
This call link feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp from the Google Play Store. As the update continues to roll out, more users can expect to see this feature in the coming days.
