OpenAI has begun piloting group chats in ChatGPT, allowing you to collaborate with your family, friends, or colleagues in a shared space to discuss ideas or make decisions. So, how does this work? Well, to start a group chat, tap the people icon in the top-right corner of a new or existing chat, and invite people. Once people accept the invite, a copy of your conversation will be created as a new group chat to keep the original conversation separate. OpenAI says you can invite up to 20 people directly by sharing a link, and anyone in the group can share that link to bring others in. And...

Asus launched its Android 16 beta program for the Zenfone 12 Ultra back in August, and after almost exactly three months of testing, it's now finally ready to roll out the finalized version. It's not just rolling out to the Zenfone 12 Ultra, but also the ROG Phone 9. The new build is 36.0810.1810.43, and the download size is over 1GB. As all updates, this one too is rolling out in batches, so it might take a few days - if not weeks - until every device out there receives the notification. The changelog includes adjusted system navigation settings, the ability to long-press the power...

WeChat is the only app a Chinese person needs in China, since it also includes 'mini' apps and games inside. But this has long posed a problem for Apple. While the company takes a fee for every app and game purchase made through its App Store, these WeChat apps and games didn't go through the App Store, so Apple didn't see a penny. But that's changing. WeChat owner Tencent has made a deal with Apple that will see the iPhone maker start to handle payments for WeChat games and apps in China, and for that it will take a 15% cut of every purchase, according to a new Bloomberg...

The Poco F8 Ultra and the Poco F8 Pro might be launching quite soon, much earlier than their predecessors' one-year anniversary in March. While the brand hasn't made an official announcement on the matter, we say this because both devices have already started doing the certifications dance across the world, and we've even seen the F8 Pro's box revealing "Sound by Bose". The F8 Ultra, on the other hand, has just run Geekbench, and this, as usual, means we get to know what chipset is powering it. You'll be happy to find out it's the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It was paired with 16GB of RAM in...

The vivo X300 and X300 Pro launched last month in China, the former with a 6,040 mAh battery, the latter sporting a 6,510 mAh cell. Today there's already a rumor about the X500 series expected next year, possibly also in October (vivo is likely skipping X400 due to tetraphobia in some parts of Asia). [#InlinePriceWidget,14224,1#] [#InlinePriceWidget,14225,1#] The X500 devices will have 7,000+ mAh batteries, according to Digital Chat Station on Weibo. That would be a rather significant jump compared to the X300 and X300 Pro, of course. Speaking of the X300 series, the upcoming X300...
