WhatsApp for iOS Introduces Notification Reminders to Help Users Track Messages, Meetings, and Deadlines

/in /tarafından

WhatsApp has rolled out a new update for iOS users, introducing a much-awaited feature that lets people schedule notification reminders for messages. This update is designed to help users keep track of important tasks, details, or deadlines without losing them in the flood of ongoing conversations. Instead of scrolling endlessly through chats, users can now set reminders linked directly to specific messages. For now, the feature is being tested with a limited group of iOS users, but a wider rollout is expected in the coming weeks.

The feature tracker WABetaInfo reports that the notification reminders have been spotted in WhatsApp for iOS version 25.25.74. Early adopters who installed the latest version were able to see the option appear in their apps, confirming its availability. Staff at Gadgets 360 also verified that the feature worked as soon as the update was installed, giving further weight to the expectation that Meta plans to expand access gradually.

With this update, users can select individual messages within a personal or group chat and set a reminder for them. The app then sends a scheduled alert, ensuring that essential information doesn’t disappear under a pile of new texts. For busy professionals, students, and anyone juggling multiple conversations at once, this feature could be especially helpful for staying organized.

Interestingly, WhatsApp recently tested a similar feature for Android users, hinting that cross-platform availability is likely. While the iOS rollout is still limited, the company’s move reflects a broader strategy to make WhatsApp a more productivity-oriented tool, beyond just instant messaging. If the rollout continues smoothly, the notification reminder function could soon become a standard feature across all devices, further blurring the line between a messaging app and a task manager.

Would you like me to also expand this into a user guide (step-by-step on how to set reminders within chats), so it reads more practical for WhatsApp users?

Xiaomi 15T Specs Surface Online, Expected to Feature MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra Chipset

Xiaomi is preparing to unveil its highly anticipated Xiaomi 15T series on September 25, with the lineup expected to include both the standard Xiaomi 15T and the Xiaomi 15T Pro. Ahead of the launch, leaks have provided a closer look at the base variant’s core specifications. The device is rumored to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset, a 120Hz AMOLED display, and a large 5,500mAh battery, placing it firmly in the premium mid-range smartphone segment.

According to tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Xiaomi 15T will sport a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen, complete with a 120Hz refresh rate and built-in eye-care technology for reduced strain during extended use. The phone is also tipped to arrive with a Leica-branded rear camera setup, including a Leica Summilux optical lens, suggesting that photography will be a major focus for the series. This aligns with Xiaomi’s ongoing partnership with Leica, which has been featured in several of its recent flagship models.

Under the hood, the handset is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset, first introduced with the Poco X7 Pro 5G earlier this year. While the Xiaomi 15T is confirmed to run on HyperOS, it remains unclear whether the device will ship with the newly announced HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 or stick with the existing version. Complementing the processor is a 5,500mAh battery that may support 67W fast charging, offering a strong balance between performance and endurance.

Adding credibility to the leaks, a smartphone with the model number Xiaomi 25069PTEBG—believed to be the Xiaomi 15T—recently appeared on Geekbench. The listing suggested an octa-core CPU configuration with a prime core clocked at 3.25GHz, three performance cores at 3.00GHz, and four efficiency cores at 2.10GHz. On benchmark tests, the device scored 1,336 in AI single-precision, 1,356 in half-precision, and 1,974 on the quantised test. The entry also showed the handset running Android 15 with 12GB of RAM, reinforcing expectations of a performance-driven smartphone ahead of its official debut.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro, Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple Charging Adaptor, Apple

/in /tarafından

Apple officially launched the iPhone 17 lineup on September 9, introducing the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max to the global market. Alongside the smartphones, the company unveiled a range of new accessories, including a ‘40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max’ designed to enhance charging speeds. However, a recent social media post has raised questions about whether faster charging on the iPhone 17 series will be limited to this new adapter—and only for a short duration.

A Reddit user who claims to have tested the new charging accessory shared a detailed hands-on review, noting that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max can draw up to 60W of power for about 18 minutes. After that, the charging speed reportedly drops to lower levels. Unlike previous chargers that relied on programmable power supply (PPS), Apple’s latest adaptor leverages adjustable voltage supply (AVS) technology, which may be behind the limited-time boost in wattage.

During the official launch event, Apple highlighted that the iPhone 17 Pro models can reach 50 percent battery in just 20 minutes when paired with what it called an “optional high-wattage” USB Type-C adaptor. This appears to be a reference to the newly introduced Dynamic Power Adapter. The accessory is priced at Rs. 3,900 in India but has not yet been listed on Apple’s local online store, leaving buyers waiting for availability details.

The move underscores Apple’s strategy of pairing new hardware with exclusive accessories, potentially nudging users toward purchasing the new adaptor to unlock the iPhone 17 series’ full charging potential. While the speed boost is impressive, questions remain about the practicality of a charging system that offers peak performance only for a limited window. For heavy users, whether the 18-minute 60W surge makes a meaningful difference—or is just another marketing angle—will likely be a key point of debate.
