Samsung Wallet brings digital key support to Audi vehicles
Samsung Wallet has introduced support for a Digital Key for Audi vehicles, which offers Galaxy smartphone users a more convenient way to access and start their cars without the need for a physical key. This feature is powered by ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to ensure precise functionality and enhanced security.
Audi drivers can now lock and unlock their vehicles, open the trunk, and start their cars using Remote Keyless Entry (RKE). The Samsung Digital Key can be easily stored and accessed within Samsung Wallet, which allows users to control their car from their phone without having to take it out of their pocket.
Additionally, the Digital Key can be securely shared with others, with owners having the ability to grant or disable access remotely via a user-friendly interface.
The UWB technology ensures that the key works accurately and securely, minimizing the risk of unauthorized vehicle access. The system meets EAL6+ security standards to offer robust protection against digital threats. If a device containing the Digital Key is lost or stolen, users can remotely lock or delete the key using Samsung Find.
Samsung Wallet Digital Key support for Audi vehicles is initially rolling out in Europe this month, with plans for a global expansion in line with new Audi vehicle releases. European countries including the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Switzerland can use the Digital key for their Audi cars.
WhatsApp has pushed a new beta update with version 2.24.26.6 for Android users via the Google Play Beta Program. This update makes it easier to reply to voice messages with just a tap to save time and improve the chat experience.
The new feature adds a quick reply button for voice messages. When you listen to a voice note, you’ll see a button that allows you to immediately record and send your reply.
It means you no longer need to swipe or tap the “reply” option as you did before. With just one tap, you can respond directly to keep the conversation flowing smoothly.
This new quick voice reply feature is similar to a feature WhatsApp introduced earlier for video messages. Users could reply to video messages with a simple tap, without any extra steps.
Now, with this new update, WhatsApp is adding the same feature for voice messages. It makes replying to voice messages quicker and easier than ever.
The quick reply feature is currently available to limited users who are testing the WhatsApp Beta program with the latest version. It is being rolled out gradually, so more people will be able to try it over the next few weeks. If you’re a beta tester, you can update your app through the Google Play Store to access this new feature.
