Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announces Bluetooth version 6.1.
Bluetooth version 6.1, 6.0, and 5.4 major changes.
Bluetooth 6.1: 🛡️ Randomized RPA Updates (Resolvable Private Address): Your device changes its Bluetooth address more often. Helps stop tracking and saves battery life.
🧰 Bug fixes: Cleans up problems from 6.0. Improves how smoothly your devices work.
🔄 Bi-Annual Core Releases: New updates now come twice a year. So your devices get new features faster.
Bluetooth 6.0: 📍 Channel Sounding (using Periodic Block Request & Round-Trip Time): Finds stuff like keys with super-accurate tracking—within centimeters! Great for digital keys, lost items, or indoor navigation.
🧠 DBAF (Decision-Based Advertising Filtering): Your device ignores noisy Bluetooth ads. Saves power and avoids signal clutter.
📡 Monitoring Advertisers: Keeps an eye on which devices are nearby. Helps your Bluetooth stay connected better.
🎧 ISOAL (Isochronous Adaptation Layer) Enhancements: Audio gets smoother with less lag. Perfect for calls and music on wireless earbuds.
↔️ Frame Space Update: Devices adjust timing between data messages. Helps balance speed and battery use.
⚙️ LL Extended Feature Set (Link Layer): Devices share more about what they can do. So they connect smarter and faster.
Bluetooth 5.4: 🔁 PAwR (Periodic Advertising with Responses): Lets many devices—like store shelf tags—talk to one hub efficiently. Saves power and avoids clutter.
🔒 EAD (Encrypted Advertising Data): Broadcasts are now secure. Even without pairing, your data is protected.
🧾 LE GATT Security Levels (Generic Attribute Profile): Devices say upfront what security they need. You know if it’s safe before you connect.
📶 Advertising Coding Selection: Choose how Bluetooth messages are sent. Pick the best mix of speed and range. #Bluetooth6 #WirelessTech #SmartDevices

Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
Export WhatsApp stickers to Telegram on Android
From the Files app, scroll down to Internal storage, and tap on WhatsApp. Once you’re there, go to Media and then WhatsApp Stickers. Don’t be surprised if you find a large number of files in that folder—it holds your personal collection of stickers and every one you’ve ever received. Even the bad ones.Tap the three dots in the top right corner of your screen to Select all. If you want to trim the fat and grab only the best of the best, this is the perfect time to do so: choose the ones you want to export by long-pressing one file to activate selection mode, and then tapping on the rest. Once you’re done, hit the Share button (that “less than”-like symbol at the top of your screen). If you have a big collection—more than 500 stickers, for example—it’s possible that nothing will happen when you tap the Share button. Be patient—your phone’s just struggling with a heavy load.On the menu that pops from the bottom of the screen, choose Telegram, and then select the chat named Saved messages. This is a chat only you can see, and it will serve as your sticker bank. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram doesn’t store your favorite stickers in a quick-access reservoir right beside the typing field, but you’ll be able to snatch them out of your Saved messages chat and forward them to any of your Telegram contacts. This also means you won’t have a quick way to save incoming stickers like you did on WhatsApp, so you’ll have to forward them from one chat to the other.
