Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Flip 5 One UI 6.1.1 testing

Instagram begins rolling out the tablet user interface, starting with Samsung Galaxy foldables. Since Instagram is one of the most popular social platforms, it didn’t have a UI optimized for large-screen devices.

With the latest update, it’s getting revamped with large screen look for big screens. Instagram is now impressively optimized for Samsung Galaxy foldables, letting users take advantage of the extra screen real estate.

Per 9to5Google findings, Instagram’s big-screen UI leaves Stories at the top and expands the feed out to either side of the display, at the same time, it ensures Reels stick to a fixed aspect ratio with black bars.

Side-mounted navigation rail is considered the main change to the app. The new sidebar UI adds notifications and DMs to the list where Instagram usually shows buttons for home, search, new post, Reels and so on.

The update is rolling out gradually.

WhatsApp new feature

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.
