WhatsApp Coloured Text Status Now Rolling Out to Android and iPhone

After testing it in beta for a while, WhatsApp has finally introduced coloured text statuses to its Android and iPhone apps. This feature was first introduced by Facebook late last year on its Android app first, allowing its users to write their status update with a colourful background, font, and emoji combination.

WhatsApp has confirmed that the coloured text feature is rolling out to all users on Android and iPhone in an emailed statement to Gadgets 360. However, not all users are seeing this feature go live even after updating to the latest update. WABetaInfo reports that on iOS and Android, it has been remotely activated, and full-fledged rollout is awaited. While some users may see the feature, others will see it pop up soon. For iPhone users, the pen icon now shows up next to the camera icon in the new Status bar. Clicking on the pen icon brings up the option to type a status, choose a font, emoji, and the background colour as well.

When you're done writing the status and making the necessary changes, you can then hit the green arrow key to send the text status, just like how you send media content now. The status will then be published on WhatsApp for all your contacts to see. For Android users, the floating pen icon shows up at the bottom of the Status tab, above the camera icon. The tipster also confirms that WhatsApp for Windows Phone does not support this feature, and on the Web, you can only view these text statuses for now, and not create them.

Furthermore, the tipster claims that the iPhone app will now support more stickers, and bring an improved chat search feature as well. The stickers are disabled for now, but will be switched on in future releases. Lastly, WhatsApp v2.17.50 for iPhone also brings the ability to bold, italicise, and strikethrough text from the typing bar itself. Just tap and hold the word you want to format, and select the option from the floating options that appear.

7 Reasons why you need a Laptop Stand

Getting a laptop stand is a very good idea. So, if you still have some doubts as to why you need one take a look at these reasons: CLICKING HERE  https://bit.ly/2CroWuv  WILL GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF A LAPTOP STAND 1. Better Ergonomic Design: Health experts recommend that the screen of your computer should be at eye level, and your shoulders should not slump while working on it. However, when you use a laptop, both the criteria cannot be fulfilled at the same time. You can either place your laptop at eye level, or you can work with your shoulders straight. Either way, your posture is not perfect. The laptop stand for desk is designed in such a way that your laptop screen can be placed at eye level, and you can also keep your shoulders straight. This ensures that you do not experience pain in the neck and back. 2. Increased Productivity: When you work on your laptop, without using a laptop stand, you tend to get tired quickly. This is essentially because of poor posture a...

Nest’s Thermostat E has a new design, a cheaper price, and almost all the same features

Nest is debuting a new version of its thermostat today, the first truly different model since the product was introduced in 2011. It’s called the Nest Thermostat E, and it can do nearly everything the regular Nest Thermostat can do, except it’s cheaper and housed in a brand new design — one that’s intentionally much, much plainer. Rather than a glossy metal ring with a big, bright screen in the middle of it, this version of the Nest Thermostat looks a lot more like other, duller thermostats. It’s a relatively plain white puck, and when it’s on a wall, it’s really easy to ignore. But that’s the point: Nest is trying to make a version of its thermostat with appeal beyond the gadget-loving crowd. It wants this to be a thermostat that you buy and forget about, but still get all the benefits that come with having some built-in intelligence. Namely, a reduced heating bill. The simplified interface is really nice, although the display itself looks a bit fuzzy. I know it’...
