YouTube Premium new price

YouTube has officially launched its upgraded 1080p Premium tier for desktop web users. Initially introduced for iOS devices, this premium tier enhances video quality by improving bitrate rather than resolution, resulting in sharper visuals and increased detail.

The 1080p Premium option is now accessible on the web, even for non-Premium users, though attempting to use it prompts a subscription notice.

Additionally, the upgrade can be accessed on select TV devices, such as non-Android-based Chromecasts and gaming consoles, although specifics are undisclosed. This expansion marks YouTube’s first step beyond iOS devices for 1080p Premium. While some Android users shortly experienced an improved bitrate in June, as it is not available widely yet.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp has released a new beta update, which introduces a feature that makes it easier to organize and navigate through chats. The update arrives with version 2.25.4.12 and is available through the Google Play Beta Program.

The new feature keeps the chat filters always visible at the top of your screen when you open WhatsApp. Filters are used to organize chats into categories like personal, group, or custom lists. Before this update, users had to scroll through their chat list to see these filters. Now, you can see the filters right away without any additional steps.

In addition to this new feature, WhatsApp is also showing a small number next to each filter. These numbers let you know how many unread messages are in each category. This makes it quicker to see if important messages are waiting for you.

Furthermore, the updates also bring changes to the favorites filter. Now, the favorites filter will appear first, ahead of other filters, making it easier to access your most important chats, like with family or close friends.

Currently, the new feature is available to some beta testers. It will be available to more users in the coming weeks as the stable version is available.

Just recently, the Disney+ Hotstar app on Samsung TVs received an important update with version 1.6.9. The update brings a new branding that now shows JioHotstar. This update also brought a message explaining the merger between JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar to let users know about the exciting new features and content available.

With JioHotstar, users who already have a subscription to either Disney+ Hotstar or JioCinema can now enjoy content from both platforms. However, once their current subscription ends, they will need to switch to a JioHotstar subscription to keep watching.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Apps

Samsung is getting ready to make mornings more enjoyable for users by adding YouTube Music support to its Clock app. This integration will allow you to choose your favorite YouTube Music songs as your alarm.

At the moment, if you’re using the Samsung Clock app, you can set a song from Spotify as your alarm. However, it looks like Samsung is planning to give YouTube Music users the same option. To use this feature, you’ll need a YouTube Music Premium subscription.

In the APK teardown of YouTube Music version 8.06.51, a well-known tipster, Assembledebug (via AndroidAuthority), has spotted some codes. These new codes hinted at a link between YouTube Music and the Samsung Clock app.
