| WhatsApp no longer looks bloated and horrible on iPhone 6 Posted:  Two months after the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, WhatsApp has finally been updated to properly support them. Until now the app has looked blown-up on the larger sized displays, but in the latest update, which you can download now from the App Store, it's been optimised. This means things are the size they should be, and not only does it look better as a result but you'll now be able to see more messages and other content on any given screen. Alongside this long-awaited support the update also fixes bugs and crashes, so you'll hopefully have a more stable experience too. Just waiting on that voice calling feature, which has apparently been delayed until next year.

| Snapchat now lets you send money with 'Snapcash' Posted:  Snapchat has thrown its ephemeral gauntlet toward the feet of Venmo and other quick-cash mobile services with the introduction of a new feature called "Snapcash." Snapcash lets users send money to their friends through Snapchat as easily as they'd send a hastily captioned selfie plastered with tacky emoticon stickers. Launched in partnership with Square, Snapcash is Snapchat's first product launched with the help of another company, they shared in a blog post. And unlike Snapchat messages, cash sent through the app doesn't disappear after you open it - hopefully. 'It's secure, we promise'Snapchat's blog post says the company wanted to create something like Square's Square Cash feature, but more "Snapchat-y." Snapcash is "fast, fun, and incredibly simple," as the company describes it. Once you've entered a debit card number - stored with Square - you type a dollar sign and an amount in a chat and press the green button to send it. Snapchat says they've been working hard to make it secure, and for now the feature is only available to users in the US who are 18 years old and up. |
| It looks like Spotify might get a dedicated podcast feature Posted:  Spotify is great at competing with rivals like iTunes and other streaming services, and it could be about to improve in a key area: podcasts. Developer Ethan Lee discovered new code for podcasts in the latest Spotify developer build, sharing his findings with TechCrunch. The new build also includes the code for Spotify's upcoming Uber integration, which will let Uber riders play their Spotify music in their drivers' cars. Do you believe in magic?An image Lee also uncovered shows a "Podcasts" category sandwiched under Spotify's "Top Lists" and "New Releases" sections. When asked about podcasts, Spotify responded by pointing out that it already supports "spoken word content" in its "Word" category and explaining that they're "always testing new things." Meanwhile Lee also uncovered code for another, much more mysterious feature only referred to as "magic." That one's anyone's guess, but only time will reveal whether any of this ever amounts to anything. |
