Samsung Dialer Needs WhatsApp Call Integration
Now the Phone by Google application shows calls carried over WhatsApp on the Recent page. Here, the recent page stands for the page that contains call logs.
This is being speculated on by a post on X shared by a tipster, Kishore. He mentioned that “Google Phone started showing WhatsApp calls in the phone dialer app similar to an iPhone.” However, he doesn’t mention that he encountered the latest change with the beta version or the stable version of the two apps.
By this statement, it is pretty clear that the dialer app mentions’WhatsApp’ under calls from WhatsApp in the main phone dialer app’s call. Noticeably, to avoid confusion, the application shows the name of the network to which the calls belong to distinguish between the two types of calls.
A call button is also housed on the call log, which lets you make that WhatsApp call once again directly from the dialer application. However, at the moment, there’s no information about whether this new feature is part of Phone by Google or WhatsApp. But it is expected that it will come to light as more people start noticing this change. It appears that the latest change, Phone by Google, will also show calls from messaging platforms, which include Signal and Telegram, soon.
If you are a Samsung Galaxy smartphone user, then you might be using Samsung’s Phone app for making regular calls. It is expected that, gradually, the Korean giants will also gear up to offer this feature to their fan community. By chance, if the brand does not offer it, then you can change your default dialer from Samsung Phone to Phone by Google by downloading the app anytime. And then going to Settings >> Apps >> Choose default apps >> Phone app and choosing Phone by Google.
Recently, Samsung has introduced several updates to its application to provide new experiences to its users. For instance, it has provided a new update for QuickShare connectivity and several Good Lock modules. Now, the company has started rolling out the update for the voice recorder.
Samsugn has rolled out a new update for the Voice Recorder application, which comes with version number 21.5.12.02. According to the changelog, the latest update for voice recorders is coming, which will improve the functionality of various functionalities. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t shared details about it. However, since the company introduced the transcribe ability for users with the One UI 6.1, it is possible that the company will improve this ability with this update.
But one thing is certain: if you are experiencing any issues while using any of the features, you should upgrade to the most recent version. To do that, you just need to go to the Galaxy Store and search for the voice recorder. Users can also sidelog the latest version of the application from external sources.
Samsung has made two internet browser applications available for all Android users, one stable and another in beta. In the beta version of Samsung Internet, it provides all the new features early to the users, and following that, the beta application is now getting the new ability to take screenshots in the secret mode.
For your information, the secret mode of the application provides several new features that allow users to browse different sites privately; it is similar to incognito mode in the Samsung Internet beta browser.
Now the company has released a new update for the Samsung Internet Browser with the version number 26.0.0.19. The company has enabled the previously restricted ability to take screenshots in the secret mode with the latest update. To take advantage of new abilities, you should update the application to the latest version on the Galaxy Store.
If you haven’t received the update yet, you can also sideload the mentioned version from an external source, or if you don’t want to do that, it is better to wait as it may take some time to reach every device.
Samsung Multistar is one of the fresh Good Lock modules that provides several new features that allow us to conveniently personalize the multi-window settings, which can improve the experience of multitasking on smartphones and tablets.
Samsung has now rolled out a new update for Multistar with version number 7.1.33. In the latest software update it has brought a new function ‘Maintain Slip Mode’ function, it allows users to keep the screen view active even after closing and reopening apps to enhance productivity on large screens.
Along with the introduction of new features, the latest software update will also improve the navigation bar’s visibility, making it easier for users to manage their devices. Additionally, it resolves a problem where the deletion of app data would cause the settings to reset.
If you are using a Good Lock-compatible smartphone, you can now uninstall MultiStar with the latest version via the Galaxy Store, or if you have already installed the MultiStar application, you can update it through the Galaxy Store. It is worth noting that the update is available for those who own Galaxy devices running on One UI 6.0 or One UI 6.1.
For starters, Good Lock’s MultiStar module offers a variety of useful options for multi-tasking functionality, such as the ability to launch games and apps through the external display of Flip series devices. It allows users to hide the status bar and navigation bar in the split-screen view, and similarly, there are a lot of features available that provide a whole new experience for managing multitasking.
