Samsung will update LockStar app for better AOD match
Samsung Galaxy users have encountered an issue with the LockStar app, where the Always On Display (AOD) preview does not match the actual display after the setting. This difference is particularly noticeable with the size of the notification icon. It has become a source of discomfort for users who have updated both LockStar and AOD to their latest versions.
A Reddit user reported that despite installing the latest updates and customizing the AOD as per LockStar’s preview, the result on the screen was different with a notably smaller notification icon. Even after trying to reset the settings and change the clock style, the issue with the LockStar app did not get fixed.

One UI 6.1’s LockStar app update adds advanced AOD editing and brightness options
A recent update to WhatsApp for Android users has brought an issue that is preventing users from sending videos. Spotted after updating to version v2.24.9.34, the issue shows in an error message – “Can’t send this video. Choose a different video and try again.”
This issue seems to be specific to videos that are recorded or saved directly on Android devices. Whereas, videos captured by iPhones, especially in MOV format, are not being affected and can be shared without any issues. This bug is also affecting some videos downloaded from Instagram to the device’s storage.
The video-sending issue on WhatsApp is not affecting every Android user, but it has been verified on some devices, notably the Galaxy S series. Several users reported their concerns on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and more to highlight the inconvenience caused by this unexpected bug.
For those who want an immediate fix to this issue, upgrading to older WhatsApp version 2.24.8.85 is a temporary solution. As of now, WhatsApp has not issued an official statement about the issue. It’s recommended to wait for a permanent solution before proceeding with any app upgrades.
