WhatsApp is developing a new feature for sharing stories called collage photos. As reported by Android Authority, this feature aims to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of status updates.
Found in WhatsApp version 2.25.8.5, the collage photos feature includes a Layout button that appears when you attempt to post a media status. From this button, you can attach up to six photos arranged in various grid options. Additionally, you have the ability to reposition images within the layout to suit your preferences.
This isn’t the only change WhatsApp is making to its app. Just days ago, an Android beta version of WhatsApp was released, including a feature to organize message replies into threaded conversations. This feature is also designed to eliminate clutter.
The WhatsApp app is also testing monthly limits on the number of broadcast messages you can send to reduce spam.
As we explained, individuals can send at least 30 broadcast messages each month, which averages to one message per day. If you want to communicate with a larger group, especially friends or family members, you can use Status updates or channels to send more messages.
Business accounts, on the other hand, will be able to send 250 customized messages for free. After reaching this limit, they must pay a fee for any additional messages sent to their customers regarding product updates or holiday sales. This cap is part of a paid version of the broadcast messaging feature that Meta plans to introduce in the coming months, although the pricing details have not yet been announced.
These changes are ongoing and not be available to all users. Specifically, the new layout feature still isn’t functioning as promised, as beta users can’t actually post a final layout on status. Everything should be operational once released to the public.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
