WristWeb for Wear OS promises smart browsing on Samsung Galaxy Watch
WristWeb is a new web browser made specifically for Wear OS and it’s a great option for Samsung Galaxy Watch users. This browser offers a more functional alternative for smartwatch users looking to browse the web.
We mostly prefer smartphones or computers for surfing the web as smartwatches are not the common choice. That’s why WristWeb offers a handy option when your phone or computer is out of reach for web browsing.
Announced by developer Angel Gabaldon, WristWeb allows users to enter website URLs using voice commands. This feature makes it much easier to navigate on the Galaxy Watch’s small screen.
This simpler menu of the WristWeb gives you quick access to important options, like refreshing pages, changing settings, and going back or forward between pages. You can also zoom in and out with a pinching gesture, which helps you see details better.
Although there are several browsers for smartwatches, WristWeb is one of the better options for Wear OS devices including Samsung Galaxy Watch. It won’t replace your phone or computer for browsing, but it’s a good option for quick searches on your Watch.
You can download the WristWeb app for Wear OS for free from the Google Play Store. If you using any Wear OS devices, you must try out this browser.
BREAKING: Samsung releases Stable One UI 6 Watch (Wear OS 5) for Galaxy Watch 6
Samsung RegiStar app offers several features that give users more control over their experience, and it is expected to add more options with the upcoming One UI 7. Samsung is considering bringing back a small gear icon for shortcuts created with RegiStar, which may arrive with the upcoming One UI update.
The small gear icon used to appear in the bottom right corner of the home screen for shortcuts to help users recognize them as RegiStar settings rather than regular app shortcuts. However, many users have noticed that this gear icon is now missing and have shared their concerns in the community.
One user also mentioned that while the gear icon has disappeared from home screen shortcuts, it can still be seen in the Edge Panel settings. Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged these concerns.
A community moderator has stated that Samsung is looking into restoring the small gear icon for RegiStar shortcuts. The restoration of the gear icon will make it easier for users to navigate their shortcuts and improve usability. However, there’s no confirmation about the release of this feature.
As several modules from the Good Lock app have begun to receive support for One UI 7, Samsung is expected to roll out this support for the RegiStar app soon. This support might also include the gear icon for shortcuts.
In addition to this, Samsung is going to bring the “Check time with Back-Tap” feature for its RegiStar app with the next major One UI update. This feature will provide an easy way for users to check the time by tapping the back of their device.

The new feature makes it easier to learn more about the link before clicking on it. It helps to reduce the risk of falling for scams or downloading harmful content.
WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update with version 2.24.22.13 via the Google Play Beta Program for Android devices. This update introduces a new feature to create and share entire custom sticker packs on WhatsApp, making it easier to manage.
The fresh update arrives with a feature that allows users to create and share custom sticker packs directly within WhatsApp. This means you can organize your stickers into groups instead of having them scattered in the “Favorites” section. It helps you to find your favorite stickers much simpler.
Not only will this feature help you keep your stickers organized, but it will also make sharing them much easier. After creating a sticker pack, you can share it with friends or in group chats. Your friends can then import the entire pack into their own collections with just two taps. This means you won’t have to save each sticker one by one.
Previously, WhatsApp unveiled a feature that lets users manage multiple stickers at once. This allows you to delete or move your favorites without needing to do them one by one. Now, WhatsApp is working on a brand-new feature that will let users create and share their own custom sticker packs directly in the app.
Currently, the new sticker pack feature is in development and will be available in a future update. Stay tuned with us for more details.
