Following the reports, another affected user raised complaint that he is constantly hearing a background noise while video calling via WhatsApp even also in streaming videos on YouTube.

Upcoming update:
Samsung has already started the beta testing of its latest custom skin, One UI 3.0 which is based on Android 11. The company has closed the beta registration for the Galaxy Note 20 devices in South Korea, which indicates that these phones will soon be getting the latest One UI 3.0 update.
The Android 11/One UI 3.0 comes with a number of exciting new features like a redesigned user interface, a refreshed quick settings panel, and a new settings menu. In addition, it will bring several system improvements and feature enhancements for a better user experience.
If your Samsung phone’s home screen is freezing or rebooting after updating to One UI 6.1.1, you’re not alone. Many Samsung users are facing issues where their home screen is not functioning properly. This problem is particularly frustrating for people as it hinders a good user experience.
One of the reasons for crashing or freezing is that changing or disabling system apps through development mode or certain apps might affect the Home screen on your Samsung smartphone. When essential system components are altered, it can cause instability.
Fortunately, Samsung has shared a solution for this issue. To address and potentially resolve it, users can try resetting the app settings.
Here’s how you do this:
- Navigate to the device’s Settings menu.
- Go to the ‘Apps’ section.
- Tap the three vertical dots located at the top right corner of the screen to open more options.
- Select ‘Reset app settings’ from the dropdown menu.
It is important to note that resetting app settings will restore all app preferences to their default state. This means that notification settings and default app choices will be reset. Users need to set these settings according to their preferences.
If the issue persists despite resetting app settings, or if you encounter any other inconveniences, you can contact the Samsung customer service call center at 1588-3366. The support team can provide expert guidance to help resolve the problem effectively.
WhatsApp has released an essential update for its beta users, which fixes an issue with locked chats and filters. The new update is available through version 2.24.19.35 on the Google Play Beta Program.
The fresh beta update addresses an issue found in the previous beta version, 2.24.19.16. This beta version brought the Meta AI Assistant feature to help businesses by providing personalized insights and creating content for their catalogs, including images and ads.
However, users of this update encountered a major issue as the locked chats and chat filters stopped working properly. Mainly, users found that locked chats were missing from their interface, and they could not use filters to manage their conversations.
Several WhatsApp beta testers tried to fix the problem by restarting their devices or force-stopping the app, but these actions did not resolve the issue. This bug makes it difficult to access important conversations and navigate through messages.
Fortunately, WhatsApp has now fixed the issue with locked chats and filters through its latest beta update. After installing this update, users can once again access their locked chats and use chat filters.
If you are also testing the WhatsApp beta version on your Android devices, install the latest update to enjoy a smoother and error-free experience.

Several Android users have recently reported that Google Maps keeps crashing. The issue affects Android users using both stable and beta versions of the app, specifically with versions 11.144.x and 11.145.x.
Users on various Android devices including Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones have noted that Google Maps opens normally but then closes suddenly after a few seconds. This makes the app unusable for checking maps or getting directions.
Notably, the issue seems to be more common for those on the Android 15 Beta, though people with the stable version are also facing the same.
If you’re experiencing this issue, you can try a temporary solution to fix it. You can uninstall recent updates of Google Maps, just need to go to the App info page, and tap on the Uninstall updates option and this may help to fix.
Since Google Maps is often preinstalled on devices, you can’t completely uninstall it. Older versions of the app don’t seem to have this problem, so rolling back to a previous version could be a solution for now.
As of now, Google hasn’t acknowledged the issue or commented on releasing a fix. Not everyone is having this issue, so if your Google Maps is still working, that’s good. If you facing the Google Maps issue, you need to pause updates until this issue is resolved. Stay tuned for updates from Google for a permanent solution.
