Last month Samsung released the new version of its native internet browser called Samsung Internet 14.0 Beta. With this version, the company introduced modern and innovative features such as improved privacy, revamped viewing experience for foldables, better multitasking, customization with your favorite fonts, and more.
At the same time, the Korean tech giant announced that it will launch the stable version of Samsung Internet 14.0 in April 2021. Now, as per the latest information, Samsung started rolling out the stable 14.0 version of the Internet, which is available to easily download through Google Play Store and Galaxy Store for beta testers as well as normal users.
The latest Samsung Internet comes with version number: 14.0.1.62. And the changelog shows that this release brings three new features including Security Control Panel, support for font application on web pages, and an enhanced Smart Anti Tracking feature (a.k.a. Smart Anti Tracking 3.0).
The new Security Control Panel designed to make it easier for you to monitor and control your privacy settings and view useful daily stats, such as how many pop-ups and trackers have been blocked.
On the other hand, you can customize your online browsing experience by applying your favorite font 3 or a font that is easier to read. To use this feature, just enter “Lab” in the “Samsung Internet Settings” menu to make the font on the website match the font you use on your phone.
Aside from this, the enhanced Smart Anti Tracking function forces Samsung Internet 14.0 to keep users protected by detecting when a website is trying to track you and automatically stops them. Still, confused? Check out the official changelog below.

WhatsApp has pushed a new beta update for Android users, which brings a camera shortcut directly to the gallery sheet to make it easier to access the camera while sending photos or videos. The fresh beta update arrives with version 2.24.24.23, available through the Google Play Beta Program.
Previously, WhatsApp improved the way users send photo and video albums. With that, users can select multiple photos and videos at once, and add captions to entire albums to make it simpler to share media with context.
The new update is adding even more improvements. The camera shortcut, which used to be in the chat bar, is now available directly inside the gallery sheet. It saves time and makes it easier to capture something new without navigating through multiple steps.
Now, when you’re selecting photos or videos to send, you can quickly switch to the camera without leaving the gallery. This new change might feel like an extra step for some users who were used to accessing the camera with a single tap from the chat bar. However, the update aims to combine both the camera and gallery functions into one place.
Notably, not all users will see this new camera shortcut. If you still have the camera shortcut in the chat bar, you won’t see the one in the gallery sheet. This is to avoid clutter and make the app more organized.
This feature is currently available to a limited number of beta testers, and it will be rolled out to more users in the coming days or weeks.
Google Messages introduces a new Backup and Restore feature to make it easier for users to back up and restore their text messages, media, and settings directly within the app. This feature’s strings have been spotted in the Google Messages 20241118_02_RC00 beta version.
Currently, Android users back up their messages through Google One at the system level, but this new update lets users manage backups from within Google Messages itself.
The backup system will offer end-to-end encryption, ensuring that your messages are fully secured. Only you will be able to access the backup, with protection provided by your device’s screen lock.
When signing into the app on a new device, your conversations will automatically restore, providing a seamless transition. However, some devices without a screen lock may not be eligible for encrypted backups.
The backup feature is closely associated with your Google Account and Google One storage, which means you’ll need some extra storage space for backups. While users can choose to turn off backups at any time. Turning off the backup will permanently delete your conversations from your Google Account, although they will still be on your device.
You can also choose to back up media only over Wi-Fi, which can help save mobile data. Additionally, Google Messages will allow you to sync messages across different devices as long as you’re signed into your Google Account.
Aside from this, Google Messages recently rolled out the “Double tap heart ‘feature for Android users. This makes it easier to send a red heart emoji in response to messages.
