WhatsApp on iOS gets dual accounts, easier transfers, and AI features

WhatsApp is rolling out multiple quality-of-life updates: iOS users can sign into two accounts on one device with a visible profile photo cue to verify which persona you’re messaging; chat histories can be transferred more easily across platforms and devices, and large files can be deleted directly from chats to free storage. Meta AI-powered light photo editing (background removal, style changes, element removal) and a Writing Help prompt for drafting messages are also included, with privacy assurances. The features are arriving to users now and should be available to all soon.

Privacy-First Power: Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra Redefines the Big Phone

Verge’s review praises the S26 Ultra for its Privacy Display that dims the screen to deter shoulder-surfing in public, alongside real camera improvements that boost low-light performance. It also notes intriguing AI tools like Now Nudge and Gemini automation, though these are still evolving and raise trust questions around generative editing. The package remains large and pricey with quirks (no Qi2 magnets), but the Ultra finally feels like a distinct, useful device for privacy-minded power users.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: A colossal, AI-powered flagship that dazzles yet wears its size as a drawback

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra packs top-tier performance (6.9-inch 120Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, 5000 mAh) with a beefed-up camera setup and on-device AI features (Gemini, Perplexity, Bixby). It introduces Privacy Display for partial screen blackout and delivers impressive photography, video and heat management, earning praise for future-proofing and speed. However, its massive size makes it unwieldy as a daily driver, so it’s best for power users and creators willing to pay about $1,299 for a feature-rich, Android flagship.

Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus: more of the same, with a bigger battery

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus bring incremental updates—a bigger battery on the S26, faster charging on the Plus, and refreshed chipsets—while deeper design and camera changes are minimal and magnetic Qi2 charging is still absent. Prices have risen, and the two phones largely match last year’s models in feel and performance, delivering solid all‑day battery life and AI enhancements, but offering little incentive to upgrade if you already own an S23/S24/S25.
