WhatsApp is finally making it easier to run two accounts on the same iPhone, which should cut down on the old workaround of keeping one number in WhatsApp Business or on another device.

Spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp multiple accounts iPhone rollout is now widely available through version 26.22.76, after a slower release that didn’t reach everyone at once. Users can add a second number inside the main app, then keep chats, calls, alerts, and settings tied to the correct login.

For anyone splitting work and personal messages, the update makes WhatsApp feel less like a single crowded inbox and more like two controlled spaces.

How the new iPhone setup works

Setup starts in WhatsApp settings with the “Add account” option. From there, users can enter another phone number or scan a QR code to connect that login as a linked device.

Switching doesn’t require logging out. Users can open the Account section and tap “Switch account,” press and hold the You tab for a faster jump, or tap the You tab once to see which logins are already registered.

There’s still a ceiling. WhatsApp currently supports up to two accounts at a time on iPhone, so this solves the common two-number problem rather than turning the app into a full account manager.

Why the old workarounds faded

Before this rollout, iPhone users had clumsy options. They could put a second number in WhatsApp Business, even without business needs, or keep the other login on a different phone.

The new setup keeps the split inside one app. Chat history, calls, notification choices, privacy settings, profile information, and other preferences stay with their own profile. A custom alert tone on one number won’t carry over to the other.

WhatsApp also keeps watching the inactive login. When a message or call comes in there, the app can send a push notification, and the user can open that profile from the alert before responding.

When the feature reaches everyone

WhatsApp says multiple accounts are available to all users through the latest App Store version, with iOS 26.22.76 listed as a compatible update. Beta testers can also get the feature through the latest TestFlight build.

Anyone who doesn’t see it yet should update WhatsApp from the App Store and check settings for “Add account.” Removing a login from the device won’t delete groups or channels, but WhatsApp recommends backing up chats first because unbacked-up messages and data can be lost.

The practical move is simple enough. Update the app, add the second number, and let WhatsApp handle the split that used to require a workaround.

Independent developer ChillBase has released the first major update for OneState after its full release this spring.

Their popular online social roleplaying added new content with brothers / actors Daniel and Louis Moncada, famous for their role as “The Cousins” from Breaking Bad.

The new 1.1 update “Under Pressure” adds a new “Dos Caminos” storyline that follows both brothers in-game as legendary criminals that open the door to a more dangerous side of the city. 

“I’m excited to join forces with OneState, the open world Social RolePlay immersive mobile game. Now you can drop in the LA style city map with my skin character and become one of the most influential figures in town,” said actor Daniel Moncada. “The question is do you want to be the friend of The Cartel? – See you soon!”

Louis Moncada added, “I’m very excited to join the ChillBase family on this amazing game. Can’t wait for everyone to see the final product. It’s amazing!”

ChillBase founder and CEO Matvei Lipatnikov also said, “We’re constantly expanding OneState and creating new opportunities for players. This update adds a whole new layer of advanced gameplay for our clans and gangs.”

To hype up the big update, ChillBase hosted a two-day offline event at Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles where they had street artist Chris Riggs transform a vehicle into a large-scale art installation inspired by the game’s universe. The car was showcased at the RASA Festival, and got a lot of attention.

The second day visitors were invited to participate in an interactive detective quest. By scanning a QR code, they got entered into a digital experience where they could choose their own character role just like in OneState.

After this players had to search for clues around and inside the vehicle, and upon solving the mystery, they got a Gold Ticket that can be redeemed for a custom OneState burger at Pier Burger, located directly on the pier.

Here’s a rundown on the new content, plus a new trailer:

The Dos Caminos update stands apart as a focused cultural moment built around two instantly recognizable brothers, two connected in-game paths, and a new layer of criminal storytelling.

Version 1.1 provides the stage with the addition of the Moncada brothers today. Developed together with Rocks production, the collaboration brings Luis and Daniel Moncada into OneState as figures players can recognize, follow, and build a story around.

The first release of the Dos Caminos update provides players the chance to unlock both brothers and two exclusive outfits: Grim Specialist and Silent Professional.

Luis Moncada and Daniel Moncada arrive in OneState as legendary criminal-world figures and recruiters, opening the door to a more dangerous side of the city. Their presence is designed to feel narrative-first as they are introduced as characters who invite players into a world of pressure, loyalty, ambition, and high-value opportunity.

Version 1.1 “Under Pressure” also introduces Rocks Production, a new clan-level production system built around synthetic diamonds as a high-value black market commodity.

Players move through an end-to-end cycle that begins with raw material extraction in the Laboratory, continues through multi-stage processing and equipment chains, and ends with cooperative delivery runs across the city.

For the first time in OneState, clans receive a complete production economy that functions as its own operational vertical. The Laboratory becomes a shared workspace that multiple gangs operate near one another, creating tension without direct competition for the same resources. Operators manage equipment, control queues, monitor efficiency, and track performance through public clan dashboards, member leaderboards, and 14-day history. Success becomes visible through payouts and the progression of the clan’s workspace, where storage changes as production grows.

Delivery turns production into risk. Up to four players can take part in cooperative transport runs, with the host carrying the cargo and teammates riding together in the vehicle. The more batches a crew decides to move in a single run, the longer the route, the higher the exposure, and potential rewards. “Under Pressure,” coordination becomes the difference between profit and collapse.

The update also introduces the Thalmer Trading Platform, a new city landmark and OneState’s first proper player-to-player marketplace. Set inside a skyscraper with the atmosphere of a high-stakes business expo, the platform allows players to trade vehicles and weapons directly with one another. Ownership now carries resale value, turning vehicles, equipment, and market timing into part of the city’s wider economy.

For serious gangs, Syndicate Contracts add another layer of clan activity. These special assignments ask gangs to deliver high-demand goods and vehicles in exchange for Honor Points and major payouts. The system creates new strategic pressure inside clans, were members decide what they are willing to sacrifice for collective progress and where gang hierarchy is shaped by contribution to shared goals.

Beyond the criminal-business vertical, Version 1.1 expands cooperative role-play with the Mobile Med Unit, the first two-player cooperative job for the medic faction. During a shift, two paramedics deliver medical supplies to local pharmacies and respond to emergency reanimation calls across the city, earning bonus rewards for saving lives along the way. The result is a more active, human side of city service gameplay: two medics, one ambulance, and a city full of trouble.

Players will also discover three new motorcycles that will be available for the first time in this update. Each designed around a different fantasy of movement through the city: extreme speed, timeless classic style, and rugged adventure spirit. Available through in-game events and the official website, the motorcycles support full customization at Tuning Shops, giving players a new angle on the city and a new form of self-expression on the road.

OneState recently launched its full 1.0 version globally on both iOS (via the App Store) and Android (via Google Play).

If you’ve ever clicked on the Start button and watched the menu appear after a second or two, you already understand the problem Microsoft is trying to solve with its June 2026 Windows 11 update. 

The update (KB5094126) rolled out on June 9, 2026, for WIndows 11 24H2 and 25H2, and targets the shell responsiveness issues that have quietly frustrated users since its launch in 2021. The headline change is the broad rollout of the Low Latency Profile.

What is Low Latency Profile and why does it matter?

It’s something that Microsoft first tested in the May 26 preview build (with limited availability) before promoting it to the stable channel (with broader availability) this month. 

The way it works is that the Low Latency Profile briefly spikes the CPU frequency to its maximum for one to three seconds, providing an additional burst of performance whenever you interact with the core system features, including the Start menu, Search, Action Center, and taskbar flyouts. 

The burst is short enough that it doesn’t meaningfully impact battery life or thermals, but substantial enough that the shell responds immediately rather than after half a second, making those core system features feel more responsive.

With the Low Latency Profile, system flyouts can open up to 70% faster, and core apps can launch up to 40% quicker compared to the same hardware running the previous build. The performance gains are most visible on older or lower-spec machines that barely cleared Windows 11’s hardware requirements and have felt sluggish ever since.

What else is new in the June update?

Shared Audio now lets two people listen to audio from a single Windows 11 PC simultaneously via Bluetooth LE Audio. The Windows Task Manager gets new NPU usage columns, making it easier to see how your neural processing unit is being used during on-device AI tasks.

Multiple apps can now access the same camera stream simultaneously. In addition, Windows Search now finds local files with as few as two characters, which, as far as I understand, is a quality-of-life improvement for daily users. 

Windows Setup now lets you choose a custom user folder name during initial installation. Windows Hello has also been refined to consistently fall back to face or fingerprint-based sign-in after alternative methods have been used. 

You shouldn’t hold off on installing the update, as it includes the June 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes for more than 200 security vulnerabilities.

It’s been a big week for RuneScape: Dragonwilds! The survival game spinoff of the MMO classic had its 1.0 release date confirmed at Geoff’s Night of Shiny Ads, and now Jagex have another release date to hand over. This one’s for Umbral Sands, the game’s next big update that takes it to an incredibly hot looking desert.

The update’s arriving pretty soon in fact, as it’s currently slated for release on June 23rd, less than two weeks away. A teaser trailer showing it off almost looks like one of those destination holiday videos you see, only with some slightly orientalist desert music playing in the background as opposed to the most generic pop song you’ve ever heard with a voice over talking at you as if you’re three.

Anyway! Here’s how Jagex describe this new area of the game: “This land was once a thriving civilisation. The Moon Garou, followers of the River Mother, called this home. They built great halls and towers across the land, and found peace here. Fuzan put an end to that.” Fuzan, for your context is a dragon. Funny that, given the name ‘n’ all. In Umbral Sands, you’ll have to be quite careful to not get blasted by the sun, as direct exposure afflicts you with Scorch, which makes you thirsty and hungry quite quickly.

There’s also the Fight Cave which can be taken on at the base of Fuzan’s Tower. This one is a “replayable mode with advanced modes, rare crafting rewards and powerful Vestiges for you to bag,” where you have to fight waves of enemies. Those looking to change up their ride will also be able to pick up a magic carpet, a new mount type coming with this update well suited for the sandy dunes. And as a reminder, after this drops, RuneScape: Dragonwilds will be launching into 1.0 on September 15th. Not long now!

Although Poncle has been busy with Vampire Crawlers, it’s still showing plenty of support for Vampire Survivors.

Apart from the recently revealed “Wet Update”, this week the studio has also announced it’s releasing a Switch 2 version of Vampire Survivors. It will include “better performance” and mouse support. When more details are shared about this version, we’ll let you know.

Alongside this is the reveal of the next expansion, the Legacy of the Bloodmoon. It will be arriving this summer. As noted, it will expand the Legacy of the Moonspell with “additional content” and is permanently reducing the price of this DLC.

“The “evil twin” to the game’s first-ever expansion pack Legacy of the Moonspell and expected this summer across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile platforms, Legacy of the Bloodmoon will include a substantial 10 new characters, more than 16 weapons and evolutions, a new XL stage, and 8 new music tracks. As part of this release, poncle will expand Legacy of the Moonspell with additional content and permanently reduce its price, ensuring both it and Legacy of the Bloodmoon deliver a similarly substantial experience.”

Vampire Survivors is also being renamed to Vampire Survivors – First Survivaton. Below are the details behind the change, and it’s celebrating this “new chapter” with the free 1.15 update. Including “a new stage, new characters, new weapons, and new Darkanas”.

“Survivaton is the name of poncle’s new lineup of Survivors-like projects. Short for “survive a ton,” the label encompasses internally developed games that build on the foundation of the studio’s flagship title, Vampire Survivors, in collaboration with selected content partners. Each project will aim to introduce major gameplay changes, content expansions, or genre twists exploring ideas substantial enough to stand as their own games.

“The Survivaton initiative will serve as poncle’s umbrella for future survivors-like releases, and reflecting its place as the foundation of the series, Vampire Survivors will also be renamed to Vampire Survivors – First Survivaton.”

Poncle is also establishing Poncle Japan, a “dedicated Japanese subsidiary” which will be headed by Sawaki Takeyasu.

“The team will serve as a bridge between poncle’s global operations and Japanese players, creators, and industry partners, ensuring the studio’s games and initiatives resonate with local audiences while helping identify new opportunities for growth and collaboration.”

Minecraft developer Mojang is gearing up for this year’s big 1.20 release, and following on from last week’s revelation it’ll finally introduce the game’s long-delayed archaeology system, the studio has now confirmed it’ll also usher in a new cherry blossom biome and sniffer mob.

The sniffer, you might recall, came out top among Minecraft players during last year’s Minecraft Live mob vote, beating out two other options: the Rascal and Tuff Golem. Once 1.20 arrives, players will want to use their new archaeology tools to explore suspicious sand in search of sniffer eggs. Hatching these will eventually produce a fully grown sniffer, able to sniff out seeds long thought lost to time, but that when planted, will grow into unique blooms.

And talk of blooms brings us nicely to Minecraft 1.20’s other freshly announced addition: the aforementioned cherry blossom biome. As detailed in Mojang’s blog, the large, fluffy trees that grow here attract the likes of pigs, sheep, and bees, causing them to spawn in the area.

Additionally, the trees can be felled to create a full, pink-hued wood set that includes the new hanging sign object, and those that want to bring a splash of pink to areas outside the cherry blossoms’ natural habitat can plant cherry tree saplings elsewhere in the world.

Minecraft’s 1.20 update – which was previously confirmed to also include the likes of camels and bamboo rafts – doesn’t yet have an ETA beyond a vague “2023”, but those that want to sample its new features early can do so as soon as its relevant snapshots, betas, and previews release.
