Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is making its return a little earlier than expected. The free-to-play mobile game shut down on November 28th after launching seven years ago, and Nintendo had plans to launch a new version that would allow players to transfer their campgrounds to a new app that cuts out the microtransactions but requires a one-time paid fee. Originally slated to launch on December 3rd, the paid app — called Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete — is available now on both iOS and Android, for a launch price of $9.99. The new version is largely the same as the original, and will still feature seasonal events and all of the other content from the base game. The biggest changes are the welcome removal of microtransactions and the... Continue reading…

Google announced in late July that Google Maps and Waze will finally share incident reports, a feature many people dreamed of. After all, Google owns both Google Maps and Waze, so implementing this sort of interoperability should be a no-brainer. Incident reports are the reason why Waze became so popular with drivers, as they can improve navigation immensely. Google added incident reporting to Google Maps a few years ago, but the feature wasn’t close to the real thing, Waze’s richer incident reports feature. It took years for Google to make the two apps talk to each other, but the shared incident reports feature wasn’t available to drivers immediately after Google announced it. A few months later, Google Maps users started spotting Waze incident reports. This suggests the feature is rolling out more widely, and you can finally take advantage of Waze reports inside Google Maps. Continue reading...

WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world. But even with its wide reach, the app can’t always support every different device out there. The company regularly updates its help center to let users know which devices it still supports. Now, the messaging app has announced (via WABetaInfo) that some older iPhone models that are currently supported won't be able to use WhatsApp as of May 2025. Currently, WhatsApp requires iOS 12 or later. But it will soon change the list of supported devices to iPhone models running iOS 15.1 or newer. With that, even if you're running an older WhatsApp TestFlight build, you won't be able to use the messaging platform unless your device can run iOS 15.1 or later. While device compatibility changes can be tricky, these updates help make the app safer while ensuring the majority of users will have access to the latest features. That being said, these are the iPhone models that will lose WhatsApp support by next May. iPhone 5s iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus These devices currently run iOS 12.5.7. What's impressive is that WhatsApp has been supported by iPhone models released over 10 years ago. WABetaInfo says that the number of iPhone users with these models has likely dramatically decreased, which is why the platform decided to end support for them. If you think about iPhone models that Apple still updates, you'll realize that only the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and newer get the latest versions. That said, even if you have an iPhone 6s, you'll likely have at least another year of WhatsApp updates. After May 5, 2024, you'll have to update your iPhone to at least iOS 15.1 to use WhatsApp. The same is worth it for WhatsApp Business. Wrap up The process is relatively easy if you are one of the select few people who need to upgrade to keep using WhatsApp. As long as you’re moving from iPhone to iPhone or Android to Android, you can easily transfer your chat history. WhatsApp published an entire page detailing the process on its website. If you’re moving from iOS to Android, the company just introduced a new tool to make this possible. We wrote about it just last week. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to move from Android to iOS quite yet, but this feature is in the works as well.
