The picturing softening tools are available for customers who prefer a soft picture texture rather than the Galaxy camera’s default picture quality, which offers you pictures with detailed and sharp textures.

Once you turn the toggle of this feature on, your Galaxy phone will automatically pick the best lens based on zoom, lighting, and distance to the subject. This way, you can capture the best shots, no matter the time, place, or environment.

Meanwhile, you can choose “Prioritize quality” for the best pictures or “Balance speed and quality” for faster capturing without sacrificing too much quality.

Video recording in Photo mode:

The name itself tells its use, it lets you record videos in photo mode. All you need is to touch and hold the shutter button to record videos after you have enabled the toggle.

Timer multi-photo options:

By default, the camera of your Galaxy phone takes one photo with the timer mode. But with this feature enables, you can shoot continuously at regular shooting intervals without having to press the shooting button again.

Camera timeout:

You can choose the camera timeout time here. Once you set it, your phone will automatically close the camera app. You can choose between – 1, 2,5, or 10 minutes options.

Dim screen while recording:

This feature will save the battery of your phone by setting the screen brightness to low when recording video for a long time.

Clean previews on HDMI displays:

Once turned on, this feature will show you the camera preview without settings or buttons on HDMI-connected displays.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp is one of the most loved messaging applications that offers several features and functionalities, therefore, to offer user’s more precise experience, the Meta-based company is giving a little makeover to the app’s calling screen.

Yes, recent information suggests that WhatsApp is refining the interface of its calling screen for a better user experience. With this new enhancement, WhatsApp has replaced the back shortcut with a new minimize button, enhancing navigation during calls.

It also makes the feature more intuitive, as both the back button and the minimize button serve the same purpose of exiting the call screen. This modification addresses user concerns where tapping the back button was mistakenly perceived as ending the call.

However, by replacing the back shortcut with a more intuitive option, WhatsApp simplifies the user interaction process within the calling interface. In addition, WhatsApp also embeds top buttons within distinct shapes to contrast the calling screen’s background.

Consequently, the tweaked interface for the WhatsApp calling screen is currently available for some beta testers and will reach more users in the coming weeks.
