WhatsApp testing new ‘Status’ tab; lets you share photos like Instagram ‘Stories’ or Snapchat ‘Snaps’

WhatsApp is currently testing new interface with ‘Status’ updates tab to the interface after adding a ‘Camera’ tab to the interface along with Video Calling. ‘Status’ updates is not a new addition to WhatsApp and has long existed with the launch of WhatsApp.

Here are few early snapshots:

Chrome for Android gets a design change for one-handed use! Controls moving to the bottom of the screen.

With big phones, handling the screen with one hand is a tedious task. Realizing this, Chrome team is making some changes in their application!
They are moving most of the controls from top to the bottom of the screen so that its easier to access and we don't have to stretch our fingers uncomfortably!

Here is a small glimpse (hint) of what is coming! I like what I see and I am super excited to try that myself.

Chrome redesign, controls go to the bottom.
