I think Pixel 7 is the best value for Money. It costs $200 less. There are very small changes like a telephoto lens and a smaller battery.

Twitter Edit option

Since the beginning of September, Twitter has been teasing the edit option. Twitter previously bought this feature for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today (10/06), this is also available in the United States. This was only available to Twitter Blue subscribers who pay $5 per month.

The Twitter edit option allows you to edit the tweet five times within the first 30 minutes of its publication, and followers can view the edit history if necessary.

Here are my thoughts on Twitter Edit.

A very good option, but not for everyone; I don’t find it useful because if I make a mistake, I can delete and retweet.

My full impression and review of Twitter Blue will be available on October 9th. I’ll go over whether it’s worth it, what features you can get, and whether they’re useful.

Twitter Mix helps you can post photos, videos & gifs all at once

Twitter is testing a variety of features, including Status, Edit Button, Podcasts, Undo, and others. One of them was Twitter Mix, which allows you to tweet various types of media content in a single tweet. Previously, you could only upload 1–4 photos, 1 video, or 1 GIF at a time.

This was a good option and I think I use it more.

Can’t take screenshots of view only once in WhatsApp

So many of them complained that in view only once mode, WhatsApp needs to disable the screenshot option.

WhatsApp is planning to roll out a new version of the software that will not allow taking screenshots for viewing one message. According to reports by WABetaInfo, the new version of WhatsApp will not allow users to take screenshots of images and videos to view once a message. Even though the feature is currently available for beta testers, it will soon be available for other users. The recipient will get a black image if he tries to take a screenshot of view once image.
