Brace yourselves! Another WhatsApp feature is coming soon. The instant messaging platform is reportedly working on a new feature that would allow you to edit images within the chat, helping users save time. According to a report by WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo, the new feature is called ‘Quick Edit Media Shortcut’ and will allow users to edit images sent or received in chats without having to switch to any other app. As of now, the Facebook-owned instant messaging platform doesn't have the option to edit and the users need to open new app to edit the images.

The new feature is not available for public use right now but the report claimed that it will soon be available for both Android and iOS platforms. The feature is being introduced so that the users can forward media without having to spend a lot of time on editing it. WhatsApp does not have native support for editing images. This forces users to rely on other options like phone’s gallery app or a third-party photo editor to make changes.

The Quick Edit Media Shortcut will appear on top of the three-dot menu options available for an image opened in a chat. The users will have to tap on the edit option and it will open quick options to doodle on an image. The feature appears similar to the editor that you already get for WhatsApp Status. The report also claimed that WhatsApp is unlikely to make any changes to the existing photo editing tool. However, the timeline of the roll out this feature is still unknown. 

Meanwhile, WhatsApp users need to be aware of a malware named Agent Smith which is reportedly taking over Android phones across the world. It has so far infected over 25 million phones of which over 15 million (over 1.5 crore) are in India, a recent report has claimed. The malware spreads through third-party app stores and hides itself by changing its name to a regular-looking app like Google Updater.

"Disguised as a Google-related application, the malware exploits known Android vulnerabilities and automatically replaces installed apps with malicious versions without users' knowledge or interaction... Dubbed Agent Smith, the malware currently uses its broad access to the devices' resources to show fraudulent ads for financial gain, but could easily be used for far more intrusive and harmful purposes such as banking credential theft and eavesdropping," noted Check Point report.

There probably isn’t a person now who hasn’t got an absolutely indispensable smartphone in their pocket. However, despite this fact, there aren’t many people out there who know about all the incredible things these devices are actually capable of.

1-The easiest way to save your battery power

If you choose a black or simple dark background for your screen, the automatic pixel highlighting will turn off, and you’ll notice that your device keeps its charge for much longer. This feature isn’t available for all Android devices yet, but it’s already implemented on most Samsung smartphones and tablets. Give it a try!

2- Text-to-speech

Not only can you read this article but you can also listen to it if you have an Android device. So if you prefer to hear incoming information rather than see it, go to Settings -> Accessibility and turn on the Text-to-Speech Output option.

3-Turning on Guest Mode

If you would like to temporarily give your phone to another person yet keep your personal data confidential, use Guest Mode. Swipe down from the top with two fingers, and touch the user icon on the upper right. The Add guest icon will appear, and you’ll be able to choose which actions the person handling your smartphone will be allowed to take.

4 Smartphone remote control

Just go to Settings -> Security -> Device administrators, and check the boxes next to Android Device Manager, Remotely locate this device, and Allow remote lock and erase. Now if you lose your smartphone, you can locate and block it without losing your data

5-Control your smartphone with head movements

There are situations when you just have to use your gadget but your hands are otherwise occupied or it’s just too cold outside to take your warm gloves off. However, there’s a solution for this! After installing a free app called EVA FACIAL MOUSE you’ll be able to control your Android device with movements of your head!

If you are active on social media throughout the day, then there is good news for you. One research claims that spending more time on whatsapp is good for health.


This research has been published in the International Journal of Human Computer Studies. It has been said in the report that there is a positive psychological effect by making more chatting in the group on Text messaging app.



Actually this study was about the psychological impact of online chatting. Research has revealed that a man who has been active for more time on WhatsApp does not feel lonely. It has been claimed in the report that on chatting with friends and family on social media, people find themselves close to them.

 About this report Edge Hill University Professor Linda Kai said, "There are many things about social media that it is good for health or bad, but we do not think so. In research, we found that users spending more time on social media find themselves close to their friends and family. In such a situation, their relations are strengthened.


 Research has also said that it has the biggest role of chatting groups, because there are many people in a group, which make people talk differently. This research involved 200 people, of which 158 were women and 42 were male. The average age of the users involved in research was 24 years. These people used an average of 55 minutes of whatsapp per day.
