🗞Samsung may already be testing the Galaxy S22's One UI 5.0 beta with this exclusive group

Samsung already has a reputation for being the quickest at monthly updates among third-party OEMs (it's not even a close competition) and the South Korean manufacturer looks set to make good on that renown with the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 beta, which could arrive as soon as later this month. A new rumor now claims that Samsung has already begun testing the new beta on the Galaxy S22 among its employees.Samsung employees are reportedly testing the Galaxy S22 One UI 5.0 beta internally, according to sources speaking with SamMobile. The current scope of these tests isn't immediately clear, but it feels likely that they're a prelude to imminent public testing.

🗞Qualcomm accidentally reveals Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 launch date
The event was later taken down from the website, and while it could be a false flag, we are keen to believe the chip is really coming in November. That would allow makers like Xiaomi and Motorola to get into the race of being the first maker to launch a phone with the new chip.Qualcomm does not unveil the date for its summit in Hawaii as early as five months ahead, so we believe it was a true slip-up by the team in California. There is still enough time for the rumor mill to keep going and allow us to piece the puzzle of the SM8550 platform. The first rumors suggested an unusual 1+2+2+3 CPU combo with one Cortex-X3 unit, two Cortex-A720, two A710, and three A510.

🗞Twitter now lets all users ‘unmention’ themselves in tweets
All users can now select the three-dot menu next to a tweet to pull up a prompt offering to “get you out of this conversation.” The pop-up explains that leaving the conversation will untag you in the replies, though your username will still appear. When you unmention yourself from a tweet, your Twitter handle will turn gray, which will indicate to others that you’ve opted out of the conversation and can’t be tagged back into the thread. Unmentioning yourself will also turn off notifications.Twitter previewed its unmentioning feature last year and shared an early concept design. At the time, the company expressed its desire to help users “control unwanted attention.”The official launch of the feature comes as the social network has been building out anti-abuse features into its platform. Last September, Twitter started testing an anti-abuse feature called Safety Mode, which allows users who are facing harassment to filter out abuse.
