WhatsApp users can now get task reminders easily integrated into their conversations through a new feature with the productivity platform, Any.do. 

The Any.do task integration is available to WhatsApp users globally today. The feature seamlessly allows your reminders to be integrated within WhatsApp conversations with colleagues, friends, or family. It’s especially useful if you’re in a group chat with multiple people, and, for example, you want to remind the group what each person is supposed to bring to a dinner party.

Users can create a task by sending a direct message to Any.do or through forwarding a message to Any.do from any of their WhatsApp contacts. You will be reminded as soon as tasks are due, straight through WhatsApp.

Any.do founder and CEO Omer Perchik told Digital Trends that the feature is meant to be as functional as possible. 

“We made it as easy as possible so you don’t have to download an app, all of it happens within WhatsApp,” Perchik told Digital Trends. “The key things are to allow people to be more productive and organized in one space.” 

The integration only works with an Any.do Premium account, but Perchik said WhatsApp users could test out the feature with a free trial. Both iOS and Android users have access to the Any.do WhatsApp integration in natural language, so Any.do will always understand your replies. 

The integration is especially useful to those WhatsApp users connecting with friends and family across the globe since everyone in a group chat would be able to get the same reminder for whatever task is needed. 

Any.do’s helpful daily planner, reminders, to-do list, and calendar features are already used by 2.5 million people globally. The productivity platform is also integrated into other platforms, like Amazon Alexa, Siri, Slack, the Apple Watch, and more. 

The addition of WhatsApp to Any.do’s integrations is an important one since the Facebook-owned app is the world’s most popular text and voice messaging application.

If being more productive by setting to-do lists and reminders is one of your resolutions for 2020, Any.do and other similar apps will be useful in your journey to productivity.

Samsung is reportedly preparing to introduce a shorter and wider foldable, while Apple's first-ever foldable iPhone is rumored to use a wide passport-like design as well. Now, a new leak suggests that Oppo may be planning a similar device, adding to the growing crowd of brands in this category.

The news arrives from known Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, who claims that Oppo is developing a wide-screen foldable that could arrive in the first quarter of 2027.

Google’s own Photos app just gave Android users another reason to envy iPhone
A Google Photos redesign that arrived on iOS months ago is now rolling out to Android through version 7.82.
Google Photos AI

Google Photos on Android is finally getting the cleaner bottom navigation bar iPhone users have had since February. That’s a strange thing to say about a Google app on Google’s own mobile platform, but here we are.

The update replaces the old docked bar with a floating pill that sits above the bottom edge of the screen. It no longer covers the photos underneath, and it puts Gemini-powered Ask Photos beside the main navigation.

Could the Galaxy Z Flip 8 be Samsung’s last compact foldable? A new leak says yes

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 8 at its July 22 event in London. But ahead of the launch, tipster Ice Universe has made a surprising claim: the Galaxy Z Flip 8 could be Samsung’s last compact foldable. That rumor feels hard to believe at first. While Samsung’s Fold models get plenty of attention for their tablet-like screens, the Flip series has always felt like the more mainstream option. It’s smaller, easier to carry, and usually costs less than the Fold. More importantly, it’s a phone that usually catches people’s attention in everyday life.

The compact design, the cover display, and even the “cute factor” have helped Samsung attract buyers who would never consider a bulky foldable. In my experience, I’ve seen far more Flip phones in the wild than Fold models. That doesn’t mean the Fold isn’t popular, but the Flip seems to appeal to a broader audience.
