WhatsApp video calls get picture-in-picture mode: Heres how it works in the beta phase

This new WhatsApp update could make the video calling experience on the app even better. As per WABetaInfo, a new WhatsApp beta update submitted through TestFlight on iOS reveals the release of picture-in-picture mode for video calls on the instant messaging service. For the unversed picture-in-picture, shortly called PiP mode would let the user minimize the video call screen to a small floating window. You could drag the WhatsApp PiP window across the screen and drop it anywhere you like. From the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, we learn that the PiP window can be accessed from the phone homescreen and other places outside WhatsApp.

 

How to get WhatsApp picture-in-picture mode

 

WhatsApp for iOS version 22.24.0.79 is the one that brings this feature. So, if you are part of the TestFlight beta Program, you can check for this update and if you are lucky, you may get the picture-in-picture mode on WhatsApp video calls. Since the feature must be in the early stages of testing, it may appear to more users in a phased manner and the beta testers who get it may come across some teething troubles. Not to mention, the feature should be showing up on Android phones also.

WABetaInfo states that this feature is compatible with iOS 15 and above. But, since they tested it on an iOS 16.1 device, it can’t be said for sure if the feature has been enabled on iOS 15 yet.

Another thing to note is that WhatsApp picture-in-picture mode is available on the latest WhatsApp Business beta app also.

How WhatsApp Picture-in-picture mode works

 

So as already mentioned, in order to check if the feature is working, you have to do a video call with someone on WhatsApp. Then, swipe up from the bottom to go to the homescreen or do any form of multitasking. The ongoing WhatsApp video call should appear in a PiP window.  

As WABetaInfo notes, this feature relies on iOS APIs and so you could temporarily hide the video call window to the side, if you want.

That’s all we know about this feature for now.

A leaked hands-on video showed the upcoming smartphone in a protective case that obscured quite a bit of it - making it hard to guess what specifications it could have. However, now that high-quality renders have been published on Weibo, we are now in a better position to start commenting on the alleged features. 

Oppo Find N2 Flip features (expected)

Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G rumored to be launching soon in India, but it may not excite you: Heres why

An IMEI listing of the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G has surfaced, indicating that the smartphone’s launch is around the corner. According to the listing, the device’s codename is sweet_k6a_global. Back in October, a Xiaomi device with the name Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023 had been spotted in the IMEI database, with the model name 2209116AG. The model was also seen on other websites like Geekbench, Google Play Console, the EEC, the FCC and even SIRM. However, the same device has been seen on the database with a new name - the Redmi Note 12 Pro.

What is the Redmi Note 12 Pro

Reports indicate that the Redmi Note 12 Pro will be similar to the Redmi Note 10 Pro. As a result, we may find that the Redmi Note 12 Pro may look like other Note 12 models but may have software and features that are similar to the Redmi Note 10 Pro. One of the reasons why people believe this may be the case is because the Redmi Note 12 Pro’s code name is sweet_k6a_global, which is quite similar to the Redmi Note 10 Pro’s code, which is sweet_global. 

There are plenty of speculations about the Redmi Note 12 Pro already, and, of course, none of these features are confirmed. It is believed that the Redmi Note 12 Pro will have a Snapdragon 732G processor. It may also offer 8GB of RAM. The smartphone is believed to run on the MIUI 13.

Redmi Note 10 Pro specs and features

As many believe that the Redmi Note 12 Pro will be similar to the Redmi Note 10 Pro, a quick refresher of the latter’s features can help you understand what to expect from the upcoming model. Again, the idea of the two smartphones being similar is also a rumour, so the following information is largely speculative. 

The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display. The smartphone has a 5,020mAh battery with 33W charging. It offers 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM along with 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage and has a 108MP quad camera setup. It also has a 16MP front camera.

Additionally, if you exhaust your limit of 100 SMSs, per day, then the company will charge you  ₹1 per SMS, or  ₹1.5 per STD SMSs. 

Vi 5g Updates

While we’ve begun to see 5G rollouts from other brands like Jio and Airtel, the same cannot be said for Vi even though the latter did announce their intention to get into the 5G market. Vi has acquired spectrum in 3300MHz and 26GHz 5G bands but is yet to confirm when it will be offering its services.

Earlier this week, news broke that the launch events for the Xiaomi 13 and iQOO 11 (both flagship smartphones from their respective brands) had been cancelled right before the launch date.
