📲 Test #191 - Your ultimate Android changelog

Greetings testers!

Galaxy Unpacked happened this week and it seems that Samsung is doubling on its foldable format. This may slow down Android dev processes even more in a long term perspective, by introducing a new form factor for which devs may need to optimise their apps. And in this case, it may require apps to have different layouts, features and more. Well.. it is still hard to predict - what do you think? 🤔

Below you can find the top 3 features to try this week and the most comprehensive changelog for your Android apps.

What's new?

  • 📲 WhatsApp pushed photo upload quality options to more users on Android
  • 📲 Typewise keyboard is about to get an enhanced language detection, word suggestion and more

See more details below 👇

TestingCatalog project

Lot's of things going on outside of the TestingCatalog project for me so I am just trying to keep myself on track. Also, working on some page updates very slowly to make them look like our YouTube and Snapchat guides. Can you guess which app will be covered next?
