WhatsApp for iOS to get a new look soon: Check out the details - India Today

Good news for all the WhatsApp users as the app is all set to get a makeover soon. And no! We are not talking about the dark mode. A recent leak has revealed that the Facebook-backed company is planning to revamp the entire app but it would be only available for the iOS users and not for the Android users.

WABetainfo revealed that WhatsApp is currently working on presenting a whole new app for iOS users. There is no clarity whether the Android users will get to experience the revamped app or not. The leak by WABetainfo showed long-press/ slide options on every text. A shortcut to star mark, forward, reply and copy messages will also be present. These options will be presented to users in a drop-down menu.

Just like the dark mode, the revamped app will be first available to all the beta users. In a tweet, WABetainfo revealed that the update will be first available to 2.20.90 beta version. The dark mode is currently available on the version 2.20.30.25 on iOS. WhatsApp is yet to officially roll out the dark mode for the Android and iOS users.
On a related note, WhatsApp is reportedly working on making the dark mode available to WhatsApp Web and desktop. However, if you want to experience the dark mode on WhatsApp web before the official rollout, you should follow these steps:-
- To switch to dark mode on WhatsApp web, you have to update to the latest version of your web browser Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox

- After downloading the latest version of the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, you are required to download an extension called Stylus for browser. Stylus provides a lot of themes and colours for the browser.

-After downloading the Stylish extension, you will get a host of colours and themes to choose from for your browser. In the same list, you will find the dark theme, select it and install it for your browser.

- After installing the dark theme, you will have to refresh your WhatsApp Web to experience the dark mode.

WhatsApp has kept the dark mode feature under wraps as it wants to roll out a bug-free feature for all its users.

UBports GSI brings Ubuntu Touch to any Project Treble-supported Android device - XDA Developers

The ability to boot an AOSP Generic System Image (GSI) on a compatible Android device is one of the best outcomes of Project Treble, but a similar achievement has yet to be made in the domain of generic kernel development. Google does mandate a minimum Linux kernel version requirement with each new release of Android, but you still can’t simply flash a generic ARM Linux distribution on your Android smartphone and expect it to work due to the fact that the majority of the Android devices are not using a mainline Linux kernel. There exists a community-driven project named UBports that aims to bring Ubuntu Touch (a mobile version of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution) to Android devices, but their device support is fairly minimal to date. XDA Recognized Developer erfanoabdi, however, is trying to tackle the situation from a different angle. Instead of waiting for device-specific patches to be landed in the mainline Linux kernel source tree, the developer has successfully created a G
