WhatsApp to allow iOS users to preview voice messages in notifications: Report
If information circulating the internet is to be believed, then WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will let users preview voice messages from the notifications itself. The feature is expected to come as a part of a major update, possible iOS 13. The feature is still under development and there is no information on a concrete launch date for it. Until now, WhatsApp users have been able to preview videos and photos through the notifications. WABetaInfo has tweeted an image of what the preview will look like. The image shows a voice message with a play icon and the name of the sender has been blurred out.
Speaking of other WhatsApp features, in June it was reported that Whatsapp is testing a feature that lets you share your status to other apps. The feature has already started rolling for beta users. Therefore, the users on the latest WhatsApp beta version will start to see a share a button beneath their status. The feature enables you to share your status on apps like Facebook, Instagram, Gmail and Google Photos. You can read more about the feature here.

You can read more about it here.

Marvels Avengers gameplay demo will be released to the public after GamesCom 2019 but leaked footage is already hitting the internet
Those fortunate enough to attend Comic Con in San Diego this weekend and attended the Marvel Games Panel were treated with gameplay footage of the upcoming Avengers video game. A trailer for the game was announced back at E3 2019 and the press got to see gameplay behind closed doors. At Comic Con it looks like the attendees got to see some gameplay and some attendees have published the gameplay on YouTube. You can check out the leaked gameplay below before it gets pulled down.
Looking at the leaked gameplay footage, one can see that the mission which takes place on the San Francisco bridge switches between playable characters like Thor, Iron Man and the Hulk. Each character brings with him signature moves and abilities. The game looks to be a run of the mill third-person action-adventure game.
According to Crystal Dynamics director Shaun Escayg, players will be able to customize Heroes with "classic, fan-favourite, and all-new outfits." Players will also be able to unlock new skills and playstyle. So two different players can have completely different playstyles for Thor or Captain America. The game is a story-based action game with certain missions designed for certain heroes. The game has legendary voice actors like Troy Baker and Nolan North lending their voices to Bruce Banner and Tony Stark respectively. The game is slated to release on May 15 2020. It will release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and Google Stadia.
The Avengers game isn't the only one that will make the gameplay demo public after Gamecom. CD Projekt Red has also confirmed that the behind closed doors demo from E3 2019 will be made public after Gamecom.
