Self-destructing Messages Might Soon Be A WhatsApp Feature

WhatsApp Self-Destructing Messages on Android

WhatsApp has seen its fair share of updates with major new features within the past couple of years. The app developers are now testing a new 'self-destructing' messages feature on WhatsApp that would allow users to send messages which would automatically self-destruct (delete) after a set time period.

The new feature was first spotted by WABetaInfo, who claim that the self-destructing messages feature made an appearance in version 2.19.275 of the Android app.


Self-deleting messages aren't a new feature by any means since there are a bunch of instant messaging applications on the Play Store and App Store that have had the feature baked into their app for a couple of years now.

At present, the self-destructing messages feature allows users to delete their sent messages either after 5 seconds or 1 hour. Unfortunately, there's no other option at the moment, however, things might change if and when the feature becomes available to the public.

Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Image
Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...

Call of Duty: Mobile is available to download globally and the game has already amassed over ten million downloads on the Google Play Store itself. While you can match the controls in Call of Duty: Mobile to your setup in PUBG Mobile ( if you've played PUBG that is ), there's one thing that several players aren't able to figure out.

Fortunately, there's an easy way to fix this. Simply follow the steps below to enable hip fire in COD: Mobile. Turn on Hip fire mode Launch Call of Duty: Mobile on your device if it isn't open already. When on the main menu, tap on the Settings icon located at the top of the screen.

Oppo Reno A Launched In Japan for JPY 35,800

Image
Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 12MP wide-angle lens and paired with it is the 2MP depth sensor . To be honest, it would have been great if Oppo went with an ultra-wide-angle lens for the second camera. However, given...
