The fresh update introduces new tools that make managing your schedule more intuitive and personalized. The update adds a Drag to Move feature, which allows users to drag and drop an event to a different date on the calendar. This makes it much faster to reschedule events without having to open them and change the date manually.
In addition, the update allows you to customize the Calendar widget. With this update, you can choose to show events only from a specific calendar on the widget. This way, you can keep your home screen clean and focused on just the events you need to see.

Samsung has added a Countdown widget to the event details screen. This new tool helps you see how many days are left until an important event, like a meeting or a birthday.
The update also lets you move events to other calendars in bulk. If you use multiple calendars, this feature makes it easy to transfer several events at once without needing to move them one by one.
You can install the update via Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. This update is now available for One UI 6.1.1 running the Galaxy S24 series in India. One UI 7 Beta is reportedly coming for the Galaxy S24 series on December 16 in India, however, some countries users are already enjoying it.
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.
