Latest WhatsApp beta for Android finally has full support for the Nougat notification system

If you have an Android smartphone that's lucky enough to be among the 0.7% that currently run Nougat, and if you also use WhatsApp often, then surely you have noticed how messed up the messenger's notifications have been on the latest version of the OS. Essentially, WhatsApp has been ignoring Google's guidelines for the new revamped notifications system in Nougat and how apps should make use of it. WhatsApp has only shown the latest message of a conversation in its notifications, and if you used the quick reply function your message would disappear when you got a new one from the same conversation.
Good news, though. If you're brave enough to use the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, all of these things have been fixed. And yes, WhatsApp notifications finally behave like they should in Nougat.

This means that if you receive multiple messages from someone, they will all be shown inside the notification. When you reply from the notification, your messages will be shown in it too. If you get multiple messages from multiple conversations, these will be bundled in one notification at first but you can unbundle them and reply to each conversation separately, all without ever leaving the notification area and jumping into the app.
This functionality will hopefully make its way into the stable WhatsApp release, but until then if you are simply desperate to get it all you have to do is go to the Play Store listing for the app on your phone, scroll down, and tap "I'm in" on the "Become a beta tester" card. Then after a few minutes you should be able to update WhatsApp to the latest beta build, namely 2.17.13, which has the aforementioned support for the Nougat notification system.

ChatGPT comes to Android next week, but you can sign up today

  Two months after   launching for iOS , ChatGPT is available to “pre-order” for Android users who want to take   the ubiquitous chatbot  on the go. If it’s anywhere as popular as the iPhone version, expect to see some big numbers over the next few weeks. Of course any mobile user can access ChatGPT or other OpenAI tools via the web interface, but the superior experience of a dedicated app has proven extremely compelling, to put it lightly. iPhone users downloaded it half a million times in the first week, impressing everyone  until Threads came along and blew it out of the water . The ChatGPT app on Android  looks to be more or less identical to the iOS one in functionality, meaning it gets most if not all of the web-based version’s features. You should be able to sync your conversations and preferences across devices, too — so if you’re iPhone at home and Android at work, no worries. Of course it won’t be completely identical, since the two mobile operating systems differ in many way
