Unfortunately, the company has not said how it verifies accounts. Until it rolls out we will wait to see. Speaking of availability, WhatsApp says the verification is currently limited in a pilot program: “WhatsApp business verification is currently limited to a small number of businesses participating in a pilot program.” WhatsApp has been exploring business accounts for some time.

For Android users, it means the ability to read and send texts straight from the PC. You can make use of Windows 10 to handwrite your message, dictate, and more.

For Insiders, this means an end to updates if they choose. Users can use 16299.15 to perform a clean install on their devices, but ISOs aren’t yet available. This means you’ll either have to make one yourself or wait. However, if you just want to leave the Insider Program, there are other methods. leave the Insider Program by visiting Update and Security>Windows Insider Program>Stop Insider Preview builds. A better idea, however, may be to move to the Release Preview Ring, where you’ll still get early cumulative and app updates....

Though its layout is familiar, Microsoft has made several visual and behind-the-scenes changes to prompt a better experience.

It seems some people do not want to be part of the Insider Program but still want access to the preview....

The preview feature in File Explorer is available in both Windows 10 and Windows 11. It opens in it own pane when the user chooses it from the View tab. As the name suggests, preview allows you to see the contents of files without needing to open them. Microsoft is using PowerToys to bring more capabilities to the preview pane.

Xbox’s Intelligent Delivery could change that. A byproduct of Microsoft’s upcoming 4K Xbox One X, it lets gamers download only what they need. We heard hints of this back in June, with confirmations that only the Xbox One X will have to download 4K. It now seems the system is more far reaching. According to Digital Foundry, Intelligent Delivery will let developers add tags to certain elements for customization. Users can then forgo audio and cutscenes in different languages....

If you’re like 44% of all UK Internet users, you’ll have used a virtual private network (VPN) at some point in your lifetime.

According to Softpedia, CCleaner is now available in the Microsoft Store, although may not be for everyone just yet. So, what has brought this dramatic change where Microsoft and Piriform have buried the hatchet? Well, to get to that we must first look at the history. In 2019 Microsoft blacklisted the CCleaner tool from its Support Forum network, censoring mentions of the registry cleaning program. Redmond’s concern was seemingly justified a month later when Avast confirmed a critical flaw in CCleaner....

This fine stems from a decision by the European Commission (EC) in 2018, which found Google guilty of unfairly restricting Android OEMs and network operators. At the time, the EC slapped Google with a record €4.34 billion fine. As is usually the case in these situations, Google was having none of it and went back to the courts to appeal. Well, today, the Mountain View company has lost that appeal in an EU court....

At the moment, GPay and Google Wallet will provide alternative services. Google says GPay will retain its features and continue to operate. The company does not say what the long-term plan is or if there will be a merger between the two e-wallets in the future. It is worth noting that Google Wallet is not a new brand. The app has been around for some time, but it seems Google has completely overhauled the service as a new offering....
