WhatsApp Pip beta Update Available to Download Android Users

WhatsApp PiP or picture-in-picture is finally available for Android beta users. Beta testers were previously not allowed to use this version of the app because it was not fully developed. Now that it is, according to WABetaInfo, the PiP mode can now be accessed on WhatsApp Android beta version 2.18.301. Users can now watch Instagram, Facebook and Youtube videos in the WhatsApp app itself.

If you are a WhatsApp Android beta tester and you, unfortunately, can’t access this feature even though you got the app updated to the 2.18.301 version, then you can try reinstalling the app after getting the chat history backed up in case you do not want to lose important messages. iPhone users can use WhatsApp PiP too because it is available for them as well. A small window will be available in the WhatsApp itself so you can watch videos while waiting for messages.

Now with every link from an Instagram or Youtube video that you receive, you can watch it directk=ly where you got it sent, and it will not open in a different window. The small window will pop up in the chat window you received the link. You can pause or play the video as you like and also close and fullscreen controls. You can increase or decrease the video bubble’s size and even move it around the screen of the phone. You can play with it and customize it exactly how it is best for you.

The sad news is that Android beta users can’t really use this properly right now. It has some errors like the window closing, the bubble not opening but we are pretty sure that this issues will be soon solved.

Android beta users, you will just need to wait for that.

PlayStation 5 Latest Rumors – Demanding Improvements

If the rumors are true the PlayStation 5 should be launch in 2019 as Sony themselves have stated that the PS4 is in the final stages of its life cycle and Xbox Scarlett or whatever the name will be, will give out more details at E3 2019, but none of this information was made official.

The next generation for PlayStation and Xbox has built up high expectations, meaning that the evolution of their technology should spicy up the game in the industry. Artistic director Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi stated about the upcoming consoles that is willing to see a major change at the processing power and more and faster RAM.

Apparently, the cloud console will exist and will have some local hardware but it will ship cheaper price than the traditional Xbox console presumably will sell for.

This is very similar to what Microsoft tried with the Xbox One to begin with back in 2013, but there are two crucial differences firstly, the technology now is better than it was back then to handle something like and secondly, this time, for those players who don’t want a cloud only solution, Microsoft is providing the option to have a traditional gaming console instead, too.

The problem is that year after year the business gets tougher; the demands from players are being continually added to the list, adding more processing power will be the closer and beneficial solution but it requires an even bigger budget. But is more power going to make our lives any easier?

Having more power means creating larger games and supplying some of player’s demands but more power is not necessarily easing anything.

As Bianchi states, more power can create something only the biggest of studios can deliver for players but the more we invest in making the devices fancier and so on, the more will cost the costumers. So the previous question is tricky. As the demands keep on increasing their numbers, the companies will end up spending money on more processing power in order to please the players. For example, the price of a car gets higher as new parts are being added to it and so does the cost for Xbox and PS5. Now to see how the market responds to them this time.

However, not all business owners know how to generate leads. We have a couple of tips that should help you get started when it comes to getting leads.

New technology is important

When you are investing money, new technology should be on your list of priorities. You should see which technology is popular and do your best to use matching marketing strategies. For example, nowadays most people use their smartphones in order to browse websites, which means that, in order to reach more users, you need to make sure that your advertisements are compatible with their devices.

If you want users to engage with your content and pay attention to your tweets, you need to put in some effort. For example, including images in your tweets is very effective. You should also remember to use hashtags so that you can enlarge your audience. If you use the right hashtags, your content will be found by more users which means that you will get more leads.

In order to find more potential leads on Twitter you might need to use other tools as well. For example, there are websites that can tell you important details about your followers, such as the times when they tweet, or they location. You can use this information to adapt your tweets so that they will reach a wider audience.

Offer answers on Quora

Quora is a social network where persons post questions every day. Offering answers on Quora can be a way of making users notice your website. This isn’t something that requires a lot of effort and it can help you gain loyal customers.

Marketing automation

We live in the era of technology and you should take advantage of that. You don’t have to do everything on your own, especially when marketing automation tools exist. There are applications such as Drip which can be used to turn information about possible clients into actual leads.

Social media marketing is also important, so you might want to use management tools for that as well. You can create content queues and then create time slots for them so that they can be spread through the day.

Engaging with your leads

You need to engage with your leads if you want your business to be successful. A FAQ can be a great first step, but this is not enough. You will have to think about direct engagement as well. For example, you should try to add live chats or help centres or perhaps create a forum for your business. Customer service is essential, and someone should be available at all times.

Use both outbound and inbound marketing

It is recommended that you combine outbound and inbound marketing because they both have their advantages. Usually, outbound marketing tends to be more effective, but this does not mean that you should ignore inbound marketing.

If we are talking about the inbound approach, you should make sure that you are involved in online communities and you share content constantly. Communication is also vital and you should do your best to solve your customers’ issues.

LinkedIn

If you find it hard to get an audience, you should use websites that already have one. LinkedIn is a social network designed for businesses which can prove to be great if you are looking to promote your business and attract new clients.
