Spotify is testing a real-time lyrics feature that flashes words to a song across the screen as you listen

Spotify may be your next invaluable karaoke resource. According to multiple reports, some users have noticed a new feature that scrolls real-time lyrics across the app interface as you listen along. The feature, which is currently only being tested on Android devices, was noticed by a user with beta 8.5.46.848 and is only currently available to some users. For now, the feature is being tested in beta on some  Android devices as lyrics can be swiped up and roll across the app as the song plays.

WhatsApp dark mode could be on its way to iPhone

Dark mode in apps today have become a necessity as it gives your phone's display a moody hue, but it has been noted that the setting can reduce battery consumption on devices with OLED display.

Also, we saw the sad, shocking death of HQ Trivia, apps getting booted from Google Play, the 
exciting features of Android 11 and a rumour about opening up iOS further to third-party apps.

Could we see a “Waterfall-like" kind of display on the next Note device? We will have to wait and see. All recent Samsung non-foldable devices feel similar in terms of specs and design. Making this available only on the Note could give it back that distinction in order to further separate it from the devices under the S series.
