Wikipedia has spent decades being the internet’s favorite rabbit hole. You visit to check one fact, and somehow end up reading about ancient empires, obscure inventors, or a centuries-old battle you never knew existed. Now, the online encyclopedia is leaning into that curiosity with a new game for iPhone users — and it might be one of its smartest ideas yet. Called Which came first? The new feature has arrived in the latest version of Wikipedia’s iOS app, after debuting on Android. The concept is wonderful: players are shown a series of historical events and must determine which one happened earlier. There…

WhatsApp is finally making it easier to run two accounts on the same iPhone, which should cut down on the old workaround of keeping one number in WhatsApp Business or on another device. Spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp multiple accounts iPhone rollout is now widely available through version 26.22.76, after a slower release that didn’t reach everyone at once. Users can add a second number inside the main app, then keep chats, calls, alerts, and settings tied to the correct login. For anyone splitting work and personal messages, the update makes WhatsApp feel less like a single crowded inbox and more…

Waze is starting to show traffic lights during navigation, but the update still isn’t reaching everyone at the same time. For drivers who rely on Waze every day, the new Waze traffic lights view is useful and overdue. The change brings Waze closer to Google Maps and Apple Maps, which already show similar road cues. It’s a small visual addition, but it can help on long roads where the next signal affects how early you’ll slow down, change lanes, or prepare for a turn. The rollout is still inconsistent across users. Some drivers have started seeing the icons recently, while…

Smart homes are supposed to make life easier. In reality, they often leave you juggling half a dozen apps just to dim the lights, check who’s at the front door, and figure out why the thermostat suddenly thinks you’re living in the Arctic. That’s the problem Amazon’s Echo Hub has always tried to solve. It’s essentially a dedicated touchscreen for your connected home, bringing your lights, cameras, locks, thermostats, alarms, and routines into one place. Now, Amazon is giving that experience a significant refresh with a redesigned interface that feels like the smart home dashboard many people have been waiting…

Microsoft’s previewing Shared Audio for Windows 11, a feature that lets one eligible PC send the same sound to a pair of wireless accessories. It’s built for common laptop moments, like watching a movie on a plane, sharing music while studying, or listening together without handing over one set of earbuds. You’ll need Bluetooth LE Audio gear since older Bluetooth headphones don’t have the broadcast support this feature uses. For now, Microsoft says Shared Audio is available in preview on select Copilot+ PCs with compatible audio hardware and drivers. Broader Windows 11 PC support is planned, but Microsoft hasn’t given…

Apple dropped the first iOS 27 developer beta right after its WWDC 2026 event, and I installed it almost immediately. Although I don’t recommend anyone install a developer beta update on their primary iPhone, I couldn’t hold back, as this update seemed like the one iPhone users have been asking for years.  iOS 27 isn’t one of those updates that throws a crazy new feature at you every turn. There’s no dramatic redesign here and no laundry list of flashy features. Instead, Apple went back to its roots and fixed, refined, and polished what already existed.  My last year with…

Telegram has made a return to Wear OS, and for many Android smartwatch users, this is a solid little comeback. The messaging app’s latest update introduces a brand-new smartwatch app for Apple Watch and Android Wear OS. This brings access to Telegram directly from the wrist, meaning you can browse chats more seamlessly, read longer messages, view media, and even share and listen to voice notes, among other things. All of this may seem like some basic smartwatch functionality, but Telegram has been away from Wear OS since 2021. So for years, Android watch users had to make do with…
