Samsung has confirmed that it will fix an issue with the Home Up Finder feature through a new software update. Some Galaxy users have been facing an issue where the Finder’s layout does not appear correctly on their screens.
According to the information, the Finder sometimes overlaps with the battery, network, sound, and clock icons at the top of the screen. This overlap can hide the search field or make it difficult to use.
Users have reported that this issue makes it hard to search for apps or use the Finder effectively. Samsung has recognized this issue and is working on a solution. The community moderator has announced that the company will release a software update to fix the layout of the Finder feature of the Home Up.
Moreover, Samsung has also apologized for the inconvenience the Home Up Finder issue may have caused and ensures users that the company will fix it. Users should keep their devices updated by checking for new software updates regularly.
Previously, the company added the long-awaited ‘Access Finder’ feature that makes it easier for users to find and open apps quickly. In addition, users now have a new ‘App Icon Setting’ for the customization of app icons.
Several Galaxy users are facing the issue after using the Finder feature of the Home Up Good Lock module. Fortunately, the company has confirmed to solve it with the upcoming software update.
However, Samsung has not provided a specific timeline for when this issue will be resolved. Users will need to wait for future software updates and official announcements from Samsung regarding the Finder bug.
WhatsApp is planning to bring a new feature to reshare status updates easily, just like Instagram. The latest beta update of WhatsApp for Android arrives with version 2.24.16.4, which simplifies the way how users share status updates where they’ve been mentioned.
The fresh beta update reveals that WhatsApp is working on a new feature for direct resharing. This feature removes the need for users to take screenshots or ask for the post to be sent privately as it makes it much simpler to share interesting updates on their status.
You can find the reshare button at the bottom of the screen on the WhatsApp status interface. This option appears specifically on status updates where someone has mentioned you. In other cases, you will see the option to reply to the status instead.
By adding a new reshare button to the mentioned post, WhatsApp aims to enhance user convenience and connectivity. However, you can still manage your status privacy settings.
Previously, WhatsApp introduced the option to mention specific contacts in status updates to allow direct notifications to be sent to them. Now, WhatsApp is working on allowing users to reshare the mentioned status updates directly.
Notably, the new features are currently under development and the company will soon make it available for users. This feature is much like what users are already familiar with on platforms like Instagram. Stay tuned with us to know more information.
