WhatsApp briefly stopped working on Wear OS smartwatches this week, with many users suddenly finding the app unusable. Opening it brought up a message stating that the version had become “obsolete” and needed updating, despite the users believing that the latest version was already installed. Thankfully, it appears that the issue may have now been resolved.

Motorola has already confirmed that it is joining the thin-and-light-phone club alongside the likes of Samsung, Apple, and Tecno. After all, Motorola’s flagship lineup already has an Edge over the others. The slim phone, likely called the Edge 70 globally, is set to arrive in China first as the Edge 70 Air. And while its decently sized battery and fast charging speeds have already been confirmed officially, a recent leak has spilled the beans on the rest of the specifications.

The Edge 70 has already been listed for sale by the Polish e-commerce website X-Kom (via GSMArena). The listing reveals the design of the Edge 70, along with different color options and a comprehensive list of specifications. It also echoes the officially revealed battery capacity and charging speeds.

OnePlus recently announced that its Android 16-based Oxygen OS 16 update will launch on October 16, 2025. Ahead of the upcoming launch, the company has surprisingly opened up Oxygen OS 16 beta programs for several of its phones, giving users the chance to try out Android 16 before it even announces all the new features.

Google’s Wear OS has been the choice of interface for several generations of TAG Heuer Connected series smartwatches. However, the luxury watchmaker is changing that with the latest generation of the series, replacing Wear OS with a custom operating system that plays well with the iPhone.

TAG Heuer’s recently launched Connected Calibre E5 comes with a custom operating system bearing its name. The TAG Heuer OS, which replaces Wear OS on the Calibre E5, is claimed to be built “entirely in-house” for a “fluid, intuitive interface designed for seamless navigation.” WIRED notes that the OS is still based on Android, but these customizations will allow the smartwatch to also be compatible with iOS.

The Google Pixel 10 series includes some fantastic smartphones, but they aren’t perfect by any means. The Pixel lineup is infamous for having more than its fair share of bugs, and users must deal with them on new phones while also considering the possibility that it could be a hardware defect. One Reddit user found themselves in this spot when they noticed stuttering when video recording through the 5x telephoto camera. Thankfully, it seems this is a software bug related to EIS, so there’s hope of it being fixed through a software update once Google acknowledges the issue.

Last year, Google introduced an AI-powered feature to the Maps called “Ask Maps.” This feature allowed you to find places to go and things to do by typing natural language questions into the search bar. In a new APK teardown, we have discovered that the tech giant is working to expand upon this feature.

In beta version 25.41.03.815390258 of Google Maps, we found that Google plans to add an Ask Maps chip to the app’s homepage. That chip sits immediately under the search bar, in front of the Restaurants chip. When you tap on this chip, it will open a bottom sheet where you can type in a query.
