Samsung Wallet brings digital key support to Audi vehicles
Samsung Wallet has introduced support for a Digital Key for Audi vehicles, which offers Galaxy smartphone users a more convenient way to access and start their cars without the need for a physical key. This feature is powered by ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to ensure precise functionality and enhanced security.
Audi drivers can now lock and unlock their vehicles, open the trunk, and start their cars using Remote Keyless Entry (RKE). The Samsung Digital Key can be easily stored and accessed within Samsung Wallet, which allows users to control their car from their phone without having to take it out of their pocket.
Additionally, the Digital Key can be securely shared with others, with owners having the ability to grant or disable access remotely via a user-friendly interface.
The UWB technology ensures that the key works accurately and securely, minimizing the risk of unauthorized vehicle access. The system meets EAL6+ security standards to offer robust protection against digital threats. If a device containing the Digital Key is lost or stolen, users can remotely lock or delete the key using Samsung Find.
Samsung Wallet Digital Key support for Audi vehicles is initially rolling out in Europe this month, with plans for a global expansion in line with new Audi vehicle releases. European countries including the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Switzerland can use the Digital key for their Audi cars.

Google Messages rolls out ‘Double tap to heart’ for easy reactions
Google Messages is rolling out a “Double tap to heart” feature for Android users. This makes it easier to send a red heart emoji in response to messages. Instead of having to press and hold a message to bring up the reaction options, you can now just double-tap on a message to quickly send the heart emoji.
Since February 2024, the Double tap to heart feature for Google Messages has been in the works with select users experiencing it during earlier beta phases.. After months of testing, it’s now becoming available to more users.
Once you get and install the update, you’ll see a small message pop up the first time you use it, letting you know about the new feature. After that, it will disappear, and you can just double-tap away.
Interestingly, Google chose the red heart emoji for this feature, which seems more focused on love or affection. Many might expect a thumbs-up emoji, which is more commonly used for quick reactions.
This new feature is part of a broader redesign in Google Messages, which also enhances changing how RCS status indicators and read receipts work.
Notably, the change will remove the ability to tap directly on a message to view its timestamp or encryption status. Instead, users will now need to swipe left to access those details, which clears the way for the more streamlined double-tap gesture.
To enjoy this feature, ensure your Google Messages app running on the latest version.
WhatsApp introduces themed icons for contacts and groups
WhatsApp is testing a new feature in its latest beta update that will bring themed icons to contacts and group chats. Users of Android devices can verify the new update via version 2.24.24.12.
Currently, when a contact or group chat doesn’t have a profile photo, WhatsApp shows a simple grey icon. In the upcoming update, WhatsApp will introduce colorful icons, which makes it easier to tell contacts and groups apart.
Each icon will have its color, which will help users quickly identify chats, even if they have the same name or no profile picture. This change is similar to the color-coded icons seen in the Android address book for contacts without photos.
The new themed icons will be especially useful for users who don’t set profile pictures, as the different colors will make it much simpler to recognize who’s who.
WhatsApp’s new colorful icons feature is under testing and will be available in a future update. If you’re using the WhatsApp beta on an Android device, you may see this feature in the coming weeks.
Aside from this, WhatsApp is also testing the new color theme feature, allowing users to choose the main color of the app. The light mode will get a sleek black theme instead of the usual green, while the dark mode will feature white as the primary color.
These features and changes aim to give WhatsApp a modern, minimalist look while improving readability. Stay tuned for updates as WhatsApp is continuously working to make new features available for users.
