The feature rollout begins March 23 in South Korea and will gradually expand to other regions.

WhatsApp is reportedly developing a feature that will automatically translate messages, making it easier for users to communicate across languages. As per a report from WABetaInfo, the feature is expected to support translation in 21 languages, removing the need to manually translate each message. It was spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 26.11.10.70. Currently, WhatsApp offers a manual “Translate” option, but the report notes that translating multiple messages can be time-consuming.
Microsoft has announced plans to allow users to bypass Windows updates during device setup and also restart or shut down their PCs without installing updates. These changes will be introduced through upcoming beta builds for Windows Insiders scheduled for release this month and through April. Another feature includes the return of taskbar repositioning, allowing users to move it to the top or sides of the screen—a capability that was removed with Windows 11 in 2021.

The launch timeline remains uncertain, and the project could still be shelved depending on strategic or financial decisions.
Sony is planning to introduce AI-driven frame generation technology to its PlayStation consoles in the future.

OnePlus is set to unveil its new compact flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15T, in China on March 24.

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch a refreshed version of its entry-level iPad, after skipping an update during its recent round of product announcements. According to a report by 9To5Mac, the new base iPad is still on track to arrive in the first half of 2026. The device is expected to bring a performance upgrade along with support for Apple’s AI features.
The MacBook Neo challenges many assumptions typically associated with entry-level laptops. Its performance exceeds expectations for an 8GB configuration, while the battery delivers reliable all-day usage. At the same time, it continues to have limitations in areas such as memory expansion, port selection, display quality, and input features.
Despite this, with a starting price of Rs 69,990, it becomes accessible to a wider audience. The device does not attempt to redefine its category but instead operates within its limitations while offering steady performance. For users whose needs align with its strengths and compromises, it presents a balanced computing option.
Indian enterprises are reportedly ahead of global peers in adopting Artificial Intelligence at scale, with many organisations planning to increase their AI investments next year, according to a Deloitte report.
