Google Keep testing new Tile for Samsung Wear OS smartwatches
Samsung smartwatches launched in 2022 and later are powered by the Wear OS operating system. Thankfully, the Galaxy Watch models continue to get new app-derived features. In a recent development, it is reported that Google Keep will be bringing a new Tile to Wear OS smartwatches.
As discovered by 9to5Google, the new Wear OS Google Keep feature would ask users to Choose a Note, and once they choose a note or list, it will display the note’s contents on the screen when the user switches to that Tile. This hidden Keep Tile is quite similar to its Single Note widget that users use on Android phones.
In the recent past, Android’s Keep app added a “Single note” home screen widget, while the Wear OS application added complications to quickly create a note or list. With regular enhancements, Google Keep is proving itself a stunning service available across mobile platforms.
Since the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5 series run Google’s Wear OS platform, Samsung fans will also get benefited. The company has recently rolled out a women-centric feature based on skin temperature sensor, while more tracking tools are already in the pipeline.

Several Samsung users have reported issues when trying to use the Dual Messenger feature alongside the One Hand Operation app. This issue is quite frustrating for those who want to use different accounts on apps. Users are looking for a solution that will allow them to switch between accounts easily.
The problem arises when users try to launch the Dual Messenger version of KakaoTalk using gestures on the Samsung One Hand Operation app. Instead of opening the KakaoTalk 2, the original KakaoTalk app (KakaoTalk 1) launched.
This means that no matter how users try to switch between the two versions like swiping left or right, they always end up with just the main version of the app.
In response to these concerns, a Samsung community moderator clarified the situation. He explained that the current One Hand Operation + app does not support running the Dual Messenger app, which is why users are having difficulty switching between the apps.
He also mentioned that the team is exploring the possibility of adding support for Dual Messenger in future updates of the One Hand Operation + app. However, a specific timeline for when this update will be available has not been provided yet.
Several users are expecting that future updates will make it easier to use both Dual Messenger and One Hand Operation together. With these improvements, they are looking forward to a better way to manage their messaging apps.

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!
