PSA: OnePlus and others: If WhatApp is killing your battery, update to the beta version

[https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-2-19-324-release/whatsapp-messenger-2-19-324-android-apk-download/](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-2-19-324-release/whatsapp-messenger-2-19-324-android-apk-download/)

2.19.324 is giving me good battery. There are even newer ones out (2.19.327). Might be worth a try if it is really bothering you. Please backup your data, and understand that this is beta software so it could have bugs, and other issues....

Google appears to have removed the ability to share YouTube channels on the Android YouTube app.

I tried to share a YouTube channel today only to find that the option is no longer there. You can still share individual videos (using the horrible sharing UI). But I can't find a way to share a channel anymore from within the app....

Regarding the new TOS Google account termination- "The section of our Terms that you're referring to is not about terminating an account if it’s not making enough money - it's about discontinuing certain YouTube features or parts of the service, e.g. removing outdated/low usage features."

Some apps are starting to remove the ability to PiP YouTube videos from inside the apps. What is happening? Do the new ToS include some changes regarding PiP?

Telegram has recently [said on Twitter](https://twitter.com/telegram/status/1193946618653020161) that PiP inside the app doesn't work anymore because "_YouTube wants to keep that feature for tehirselves_". I also cannot see any link preview for YT links at all on WhatsApp.

What is happening? Is YouTube forbidding third-party apps to use PiP because of some new rules added to their ToS? Any other example of apps that are being updated to remove PiP?...
