WhatsApp Online Status Hide Privacy Feature Likely Coming Soon; Available For Android Beta

WhatsApp has been flooding its mobile and desktop application with numerous features. The Meta-owned instant messaging platform is constantly expanding its user base with its end-to-end encryption and improved messaging services. While WhatsApp has been updated with multiple new features, a slew of them are currently under development and likely to be released to the Android and iOS versions going forward. The hide online status feature is the latest one rumored to have entered the testing phase.

WhatsApp Online Status Hide Feature Reportedly Enters Testing Phase

There have been some rumors suggesting the upcoming WhatsApp feature that’ll let users hide online status from their contacts. Now, WABetaInfo shared a new report that confirms this new privacy WhatsApp feature going under the testing phase. The publication has shared screenshots of the online status hiding feature being tested with the WhatsApp Beta version.

The screenshots show the online status hide feature now getting tested with the Android OS. Just to recap, the same feature was previously tested with the iOS beta version. The reports were shared by WABetaInfo itself a few weeks back. Currently, the hide online status is available for the WhatsApp beta version 2.22.16.12.

With WhatsApp performing test runs of the hide online status privacy features with both Android and iOS devices, it shouldn’t be long before the final release. However, WhatsApp is currently silent with the details of the stable version’s availability. But we are expecting some confirmation soon from the company.

As for the hide online status functionality, this privacy feature will be made available alongside the Last seen privacy option. It will be clubbed with the last seen and online option. As for the users, you can hide your WhatsApp online status will be “Everyone” and “Same as last seen”. This means either you can hide when you come online on WhatsApp from all contacts or from the ones you have hidden your last seen as well.

This latest WhatsApp privacy feature has been demanded from users for a long. Currently, there is no way you can hide when you come online from any of your contacts which at times breaches your privacy when you specifically are avoiding someone. With this new privacy option, there will be no room for online stalking on WhatsApp.

Apple’s OLED iPads Are Set To Release In 2024: Everything You Need To Know

Key Highlight

  • Apple iPads to launch in 2024
  • The iPads will be thinner and lighter
  • They will come with an OLED screen

Apple is reportedly introducing an OLED-display iPad in 2024. The upcoming OLED iPads, according to a recent report, will be lighter and thinner. The Cupertino-based tech giant is working with significant domestic display partners to produce OLED iPad final prototypes. Apple is producing a number of prototypes and iterating the testing procedure frequently.

To recall, Apple and Samsung were working on the development of a 10.8-inch OLED panel last year. But the effort had to be put on hold in Q3 2021.

Samsung is the market leader when it comes to producing OLED panels for smartphones. Besides, Samsung Display is also the principal screen supplier for iPhones. According to GSMArena, Samsung and LG are reportedly developing new OLED screens exclusively for Apple’s upcoming 2024 iPads.

For the iPad OLED panel, Apple will also introduce the first-ever dry etching technology. When creating thin-film transistor (TFT) circuit layouts, display dry etching uses chemical technology to remove extraneous components. The OLED display can be made lighter and thinner thanks to this technique which also reduces the tablets’ overall size.

OLED screens will offer more than just an improvement in image quality. Apple will also reduce the size of the panel, which will lead to a lighter iPad.

Which iPad models would receive the OLED panel is not specified in the report. Apple, meanwhile, has been advancing technology slowly. According to reports, the company developed multiple prototypes and put them through a number of tests. The OLED panel’s final prototypes are now being made by Apple.

Apple iPad With OLED Launch Date Set For 2024

A report from Korea from around a year ago claimed that Samsung was unwilling to provide the specific OLED technology that Apple requested for the iPad. According to that rumor, the delay may have caused the OLED iPad to be released in 2023 or 2024.

According to a fresh report from the same country, Apple will release the first OLED iPad in 2024. As Per ETNews, the OLED iPad will bring a few significant upgrades to Apple’s tablet.
