WhatsApp makes it easy to express yourself with emojis and images and other kinds of modern media — but what if you prefer the good old written word?

Until now, the platform has only supported basic text with zero formatting options. But in the latest WhatsApp beta, users have the option to use bold and italic text in their messages.

Samsung has begun rolling out a Marshmallow beta to a small number of Galaxy Note 5 handsets in the U.S.

This is the first time Samsung’s flagship phablet has received an Android 6.0 update, and it comes just days after the company began upgrading the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge.

Instagram is bringing a great new update to Android and iOS that allows users to seamlessly manage multiple accounts. The change means you’ll finally be able to access your personal and professional feeds — and the one dedicated to your cat — without having to log out and back in.

When you get a WhatsApp message you know you’ll need to find later, you either have to copy and paste it into a note or screenshot it to avoid having to search for it later. But not anymore.

The latest WhatsApp beta for Android lets you star important messages to make them easy to access at any time — and you can download the APK now to make the update early.
