YouTube app crashes on some Android users’ devices after recent updates
Some users of the YouTube app on Android devices have been experiencing a frustrating issue that causes the app to crash constantly. The issue started about a week ago and seems to appear after the recent updates of the app
According to several reports, the issue occurs when users select a video to watch on the app. The video loads up, but the description, comments, and related videos never appear. Instead, the app crashes after a few seconds and the same thing happens when users try to reopen it.

Not all Android users are experiencing this problem but it is widespread enough to generate a lot of complaints and negative feedback. It is unclear which version of the app is causing the problem, but some users have suggested that newer versions of the app have fixed the problem.
A possible solution for users who are still facing the issue is to either uninstall the updates to the YouTube app or install the latest beta version. However, the official beta program is currently full, so users will have to sideload the beta version from a third-party source.
YouTube has not officially acknowledged or addressed the issue yet, but hopefully, the company will soon release a stable update that will resolve the problem for all users.
WhatsApp Beta introduces public figure voices for Meta AI
WhatsApp has released a new update for its Android app with version 2.24.19.32, which brings a new feature for Meta AI voice. Available via the Google Play Beta Program, the fresh update adds a new feature that allows users to customize the Meta AI voice.
Earlier, WhatsApp was testing customizable voices for Meta AI. The latest beta version expands this feature, offering users the choice of several different voices for Meta AI. These include three UK voices and two US voices, each varying in pitch and tone to suit different preferences.
In addition, users will be able to choose from four voices modeled after public figures, although their identities have not yet been disclosed. WhatsApp users can select a voice that matches their preferred accent or tone and is pleasant to hear.
The new customization option for WhatsApp aims to make interactions with the Meta AI chatbot more personalized and engaging. Currently, this feature is only available with version 2.24.19.32 for Android in English, but WhatsApp plans to include voices in other languages in future updates.
As this feature is still in development, it will be enhanced before its official release. WhatsApp is working to ensure that it meets user needs and expectations.
