After its stunning debut and phenomenal second season, the Solo Leveling anime has cemented its position as the best manhwa adaptation to date. Consequently, the anime’s fan following has seen a meteoric rise in a short time. Now, the fandom’s eyes are set on the next season after watching Solo Leveling Season 2’s memorable ending. If you are eager to learn about the third season, here is what we know so far about Solo Leveling Season 3 by A-1 Pictures.

When Will Solo Leveling Season 3 Release?

At the time of writing, Solo Leveling Season 3 has yet to be officially announced by A-1 Pictures. So, we will have to wait a while before we learn any concrete details.

The growing popularity of Solo Leveling should automatically lead to the renewal of the anime for a third season. Recently, the anime’s producer commented, “Solo Leveling will come to an end, for now.“ Earlier, rumors surfaced online that Solo Leveling season 3 has already been greenlit at A-1 Pictures. The only question that remains is when Solo Leveling Season 3 will be released.

Although the production staff hasn’t revealed the release date of Solo Leveling Season 3 yet, we can try to predict it based on the history of Solo Leveling anime’s release schedule. Both seasons 1 and 2 of the anime premiered in January 2024 and 2025, respectively.

So we expect Solo Leveling Season 3 to release in January 2026. But take this information with a grain of salt, as the release could be delayed if the studio is busy with other projects.

Solo Leveling – Arise from the Shadow, aka Season 2, was sort of made as cour 2 of Season 1, which is the primary reason why the anime returned sooner than expected. As they are starting to work on season 3 from scratch, the third season’s release could be pushed further, possibly even Fall 2026 or even Winter 2027. We have to wait for some more to find out the release window.

What to Expect from Solo Leveling Season 3?

A-1 Pictures has already increased the pace at which they are adapting the Solo Leveling manhwa. They’ve successfully covered the story up to the Jeju Island arc in Season 2. So far, 107 chapters have been covered, and Season 3 will start with the Recruitment arc.

The third season will raise the stakes higher than ever before with the introduction of new villains and supporting stars for the final saga, some of whom have already been teased in Season 2.

The third season is likely to cover the following Solo Leveling arcs:

• Recruitment arc
• Ahjin Guild arc
• Double Dungeon arc
• Japan Crisis arc
• International Guild Conference arc

After covering up to chapter 199, season 3’s ending could tease the beginning of the Monarchs War arc. Sung Jinwoo has become one of the strongest S-Rank hunters in Solo Leveling, but how strong will he be against the Monarchs of the Solo Leveling universe?

We will have to wait for more information about the upcoming third season of Solo Leveling. In the meantime, let us know your expectations for Season 3 adapt in the comments below.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently spoke at a rally in Wisconsin, delivering remarks about the importance of national unity. He compared the United States to a large ship, stating that people must work together rather than abandon it. His comments reflected his long-standing vision of innovation and perseverance, defining his ambitious space exploration plans.

During the event, Musk made a bold statement about his commitment to the United States, saying he was “dead and going to America, not going anywhere.” While his words were somewhat cryptic, they reinforced his belief in progress and determination, which drove his efforts in advancing space travel.

Starship’s planned Mars mission

Elon Musk also provided updates on SpaceX’s plans to reach Mars, stating that the company’s heavy launch vehicle, Starship, is expected to land on the planet by the end of 2026. The mission will reportedly include a Tesla humanoid robot, named Engine Tianzhu, which will be part of the first deployment. If this mission is successful, Musk believes that a crewed flight could take place as early as 2029, though he considers 2031 a more likely target.

Shifting timelines for Mars exploration

Musk has frequently adjusted his projected timeline for Mars missions. In early 2024, he suggested that an uncrewed mission could take place within five years, with the first crewed flight following two years later. His latest estimates are consistent with previous projections but still leave room for potential delays as SpaceX continues testing and refining Starship.

The Starship system is central to Musk’s vision of interplanetary travel. Measuring approximately 120 meters in height and 9 meters in diameter, it consists of two sections. The first stage, known as Super Heavy, is a powerful booster that stands about 70 meters tall. The second stage, called Starship, serves as the spacecraft that will carry cargo and crew. Both components are designed for reusability, which SpaceX sees as critical for reducing costs and enabling long-term space missions.

In an era where digital privacy is at risk, taking control of how your data is collected and used is crucial. Google gathers vast amounts of user information through its services, including Search, Maps, Assistant, and personalized ads. If you want to limit Google’s ability to track and record your activity via your Android phone, there are several settings you can adjust.

Understanding spyware and its risks

Spyware is a type of malicious software that operates in the background, collecting sensitive information without your knowledge. It can track login credentials, banking details, and online activity. Once installed, it may send this data to hackers or advertisers.

One common way spyware infiltrates phones is through suspicious apps. While Google Play Store has security measures in place, some malicious apps still make their way onto the platform. Additionally, phishing scams can trick users into downloading infected files, often disguised as legitimate apps or software updates.

Identifying spyware can be challenging because it is designed to remain undetected. However, some warning signs may indicate an infection. These include excessive battery drain, unexpected pop-ups, sluggish performance, and random reboots. If you suspect spyware, reviewing app permissions and performing a factory reset may help eliminate it.

Steps to reduce tracking on your Android device

There are several ways to prevent unauthorized tracking and safeguard your data. By adjusting your privacy settings, limiting app permissions, and disabling tracking features, you can minimize the risk of data collection.

1. Disabling Google’s voice recording

When you interact with Google Assistant, Search, or Maps using voice commands on your Android phone, Google may record and store these conversations. While the company claims this improves user experience, some individuals prefer not to have their audio stored. You can prevent Google from saving voice recordings by adjusting your web and app activity settings.

To turn off voice and audio recording

• Open the Google activity page in your browser

• Navigate to Web & App Activity

• Look for the option Include voice and audio activity and uncheck it

Once disabled on your Android phone, Google will no longer save your voice inputs. However, this does not stop the Assistant from responding to commands. It only prevents recordings from being stored.

2. Limiting location tracking

Many applications, including Google services, track location data even when they are not actively in use. This data is used for location-based recommendations, targeted ads, and traffic updates. If you want to control which apps access your location, follow these steps

• Open Settings on your Android device

• Go to Location

• Select an app from the list

• Tap Permissions

• Choose either Allow only while using the app or Don’t allow if the app does not require location access

By restricting location tracking, you can prevent unnecessary data collection and reduce the risk of third-party tracking.

3. Disabling personalized ads

Google uses your browsing habits, search history, and app usage on your Android phone to create personalized advertisements. While this might seem convenient, it raises privacy concerns for users who prefer not to be profiled. Fortunately, you can opt out of ad personalization.

To disable personalized ads

• Visit your Google Account page in a browser

• Navigate to the Data & privacy section

• Click on My Ad Center

• Locate the Personalized ads toggle and turn it off

After disabling this setting, Google will no longer tailor ads based on your activity. However, you may still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests.

4. Reviewing Google’s privacy settings

Google provides a Privacy Checkup feature that allows users to manage their data-sharing preferences. This tool enables you to review and adjust settings related to your location history, profile visibility, and third-party app permissions.

To perform a privacy checkup

• Open your Google account settings

• Select Take Privacy Checkup under the Privacy Checkup section

• Review and modify settings for timeline data, profile information, and third-party connections

• Click Done to save changes

This feature gives users a clear overview of how Google handles their data, offering greater control over what is shared.

5. Stopping Google Assistant from always listening

Google Assistant constantly listens for the phrase Hey Google to activate its voice recognition feature. While this is useful for hands-free control, some users may find it intrusive. If you want to stop Google Assistant from always listening, you can disable Voice Match.

To turn off Hey Google detection

• Open Settings on your phone

• Tap Google

• Navigate to Search, Assistant & Voice

• Select Google Assistant

• Go to Voice Match

• Toggle off Hey Google

Disabling this setting prevents your device from continuously listening for voice activation. However, you can still access Google Assistant manually through the Assistant app or by holding the home button.

6. Enhancing overall phone security

Beyond Google’s tracking, smartphones can also be compromised by spyware, phishing scams, and unauthorized app permissions. Here are additional steps to protect your data and reduce tracking risks.

a. Identifying and removing spyware

Spyware can secretly collect sensitive information such as login credentials, banking details, and browsing history. If your phone is infected, you may notice unusual behavior such as

To check for spyware

• Review installed apps and remove any suspicious ones

• Check app permissions and revoke unnecessary access

• Scan your device with a trusted security app

• If problems persist, perform a factory reset

b. Managing app permissions

Many apps request access to features like the camera, microphone, and location, even when it is not necessary for their core function. Limiting these permissions reduces the risk of data misuse.

To review and manage app permissions

• Open Settings on your device

• Tap Privacy

• Select Permission Manager

• Choose a permission type, such as location or microphone

• Review which apps have access and revoke permissions where needed

By controlling app permissions, you can prevent apps from collecting more data than they require.

Conclusion

There is a need for mobile phone users to take control of these devices as we now have more data theft. By turning off some Google features, Android users can ensure that their data stays safe and secure. Also, monitoring for spyware and managing app permissions further enhance security. If you use the steps above, you can ensure that your phone does not share more data than necessary.

Players’ enthusiasm regarding Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 is at an all-time peak. The company has not provided any updates since December 2023, and it seems as though they are keeping everything under wraps. Even though that is the current case, other sources continue to provide fresh pieces of information. Recently, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, provided a meaningful update.

Excitement Regarding Rockstar Games Latest Grand Theft Auto Title Continues to Climb

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick engaged in a discussion with Bloomberg concerning GTA 6. During the call, he explainend why the game does not have a predetermined release date. As per his own words, the excitement surrounding the game surpasses anticipation.

Zelnick also touched upon other business decisions made by Take-Two, stating that the company releases marketing only right before the game becomes available. Comparatively, other businesses in the gaming industry tend to reveal deadlines years in advance.

“We have competitors who announce release dates years in advance,” Zelnick stated. “We have determined that marketing materials should be available closer to the product launch. This means there is enough time for excitement to build, but also for expectations to be subdued.”
This form of strategy allows Take-Two to remain overpromising and maintain quality of gameplay without external worries.

What we know about GTA 6 so far

Even if information is scarce, we have gathered a bit. And according to it, GTA 6 will release in the Fall of 2025. Still, the exact release date remains unknown.

Speculations say Rockstar plans to release their second trailer next month, which means, if this is true, we get more details about the game shortly.

Final Thoughts

GTA 6 is, without a doubt, one of the most awaited video games in the world. It is clear that with the new strategies from Take-Two, the level of anticipation will be kept high without creating unreal expectations. It’s a long wait and will be test of patience but Rockstar usually delivers so one hopes that they do not disappoint.

How many people here cannot wait for GTA 6? Let us know in the comments!

Solo Leveling Season 2 has finally concluded with a banger episode. It showcased the aftermath of Jinwoo vs Ant King. Apart from getting another shadow, Jinwoo is getting ready to face another threat. If you’re wondering what the finale sets up for Season 3, here you go.

Jeju’s Darkest Hour Begins with the Arrival of Ant King

Following the Ant Queen’s demise at the hands of the Korean hunters, the Ant King enters the game. He ignores the hunters and rushes toward his queen to eat her brain. Well, he does that to see the memories of Ant Queen before her death. The Ant King learns that Cha Hae-In unleashed the final blow on her, and that’s why he doesn’t waste any time and hits the S-Rank hunter. After that, he attacks the top S-Rank Hunters. Min Byung-Gyu keeps on healing them by disguising himself. As he was the only healer on Jeju Island at the time, he became the priority target for the Ant King.

The monstrous enemy detects Min Byung-Gyu using his enhanced senses and intelligence and kills him in a brutal fashion. After that, he grabs Baek Yoonho’s neck and hangs him up in the air.

”You killed our Queen…. killing your soldiers will not make up for that.” – Ant King to Yoonho

The Ant King asks Yoonho who their King is, and suddenly, he feels the presence of a strong hunter outside. So, he rushes towards Goto Ryuji, who is slowly approaching the battlefield with the members of his team. The S-Rank hunters are surprised after discovering the corpses of fellow hunters from their nation. Ryuji instantly calls Matsumoto, Korea’s Chairman, to inform him about the tragedy. When Ryuji tells him that the force they are fighting this time is way more dangerous than they thought, Matsumoto asks him to abandon the Japanese hunters and pull out of the battle with the surviving Korean hunters.

However, before they can leave the Island, the Ant King shows up and ambushes Ishida with one strike. Ryuji asks the other member to run and reunite with Team Bravo, as he believes that his S-Rank abilities are enough to deal with the Ant King. The Ant King asks him if he is King, to which he proudly says, The King… Yeah. I am the King. After that, Ryuji doesn’t get to live longer as the Ant King beheads him after shocking him with his raw powers.

”What is this magic power? I feel like I have encountered something like this before.” – Ryuji’s final words

Sung Jinwoo Arrives to Save The Day

Jinwoo initially doesn’t join the hunters in the 4th raid on the Jeju Island dungeon, but as a responsible Korean hunter, he attaches one of his shadows with Goto Ryuji to keep track of the incidents happening on the Island. Following the ruthless killing of the Japanese hunter at the hands of the Ant King, Jinwoo switches places with the shadow using his Shadow Exchange ability. He makes a heroic entry on the Island and stuns every civilian of the nation who has been livestreaming the gruesome dungeon raid.

Initially, it’s the Shadow soldiers of Jinwoo who grab the attention of the S-Rank hunters, and later, the Shadow King appears himself. Jinwoo heals the hunters with his healing potion, but can’t help Cha Hae-In as her injuries seem to be fatal compared to others. Jinwoo suggests that, as Cha Hae-in is growing weaker with every passing minute, they must take her out. However, before they can do anything, the Ant King shows up with an army of ants.

The Ant King and Jinwoo get into the most intense duel, and as always, the latter emerges as the victor. After that, he rushes toward Cha Hae-In and makes her drink the Elixir of Life despite boasting a limited stock of the magical potion.

However, the Holy Water of Life also doesn’t work on the S-Rank hunter. So, seeing no other option, Jinwoo extracts the shadow of Min Byung-Gyu so that he can heal Cha Hae-In. Well, this idea works, and the S-Rank hunter’s Mana stops fading; later, we see her alive and well, talking about getting even stronger. Yoonho requests that Jinwoo not force Byung-Gyu to be a part of the chaos anymore. Jinwoo does the same and terminates the shadow extraction to let his soul rest in peace.

Jinwoo Gets a New ‘Unconditional Loyal’ Shadow

While the other hunters evacuate the Island following the terrible battle, Jinwoo stays behind to fight the surviving mutant ants. He goes to the Ant King’s corpse and extracts his shadow. After becoming a shadow soldier, he reveals how happy he is to be a part of Jinwoo’s army. As every soldier of the shadow army emerges with a rank, the Ant King is ranked General. Jinwoo gets skeptical as none of his soldiers had boasted this rank earlier. However, he discovers that the rank might be indicating that he is the mightiest of all the other soldiers.

The Ant King requests Jinwoo to pick a name for him, and it again astonishes the hero that he wants to be named by the one who killed him.

”I was not killed by you.. Rather, it was through your powers that I was reborn, master.”- Ant King’s shadow

Later Jinwoo names him Beru. In the Manga, Jinwoo explains that he remembers an author named Beru, who wrote a book on ants. That’s why he is naming him Beru.

A New Threat Looms Over Jinwoo

While the Knight Guild members collect resources from Jeju Island, they come across two beast-like creatures. They are none other than the Monarch of Fangs and Frost Monarch. This is the first time that Solo Leveling’s Monarchs have appeared in the anime, indicating the incredible fights we all are about to witness in Season 3.

Right now, the Monarchs have no idea why the Shadow Monarch is saving humans. For now, they have started hunting some of the most powerful Hunters around the world. So, get ready to see several National Hunters in the upcoming season. Also, Jinwoo will make a stand against this villainous entity and will finally get the full powers of the Shadow Monarch.

Another month, another new features list, and this one’s going to be quite exciting as WhatsApp has brought many new additions that were in beta to everyone’s devices. While also sharing snippets of what other exciting things we can expect to see in the app later this year. So, with that said, let’s dive into all the new WhatsApp features added in March 2025.

New WhatsApp Features Added in March 2025 (Stable)

As mentioned, some pretty exciting new features have made their way to your favorite messaging app over the course of March. So without any further ado, let’s take a look at them.

1. Add Songs to Status Updates

• Available on Android and iPhone

Yes, the feature is finally here! You can now add songs to status updates, just like you could on Instagram. You just have to tap the song icon at the top, search for any song using the vast catalogue, pick the portion you want to use, and share it with your status on WhatsApp. This brings the experience close to what it is on Instagram, making it more seamless between the two apps.

The feature is available for both the Android and iPhone versions of the app, so if you haven’t received it yet, then you should update the app ASAP!

2. Redesigned Font and Color Selection Tool

• Available on Android and iPhone

Another status-related update is that WhatsApp has updated its font and color selection tool. We talked about it in our February features list. It fixes a long-standing issue where you had to keep tapping the font and color options to cycle through them. Now they are all laid out in front of you, making it easier to pick the one you want to use.

3. WhatsApp Web Receives a Makeover

Along with the mobile version, WhatsApp Web also received some much-needed love in March. They overhauled the WhatsApp Web theme, making it visually darker and more consistent with the app version of WhatsApp. Along with it, they have also updated some icons and other UI elements. You can head to web.whatsapp.com to check out this new theme.

4. Add Instagram Links to Bio

• Available on Android and iPhone

For all you Instagram influencers, WhatsApp is making it easy to find out your account on the platform. If you head to the profile option on the app now, you should see a new “Links” option where you can add your Instagram account here. This way, your contacts will be able to quickly jump to your Instagram profile and follow you.

5. Create Profile Images with Meta AI

• Available on Android and iPhone

WhatsApp is adding the option to let you create an image for your profile or group chat icon using Meta AI. To do this, simply go to Settings > Profile > your profile picture > pen icon, and choose the Create AI Image. This new option let you set your creativity free and add anything unique to your profile picture.

6. View Once Photos on Linked Devices

• Available on Android and iPhone

Another feature we talked about in our February features list is the ability to see “View Once” photos on linked devices. This rudimentary feature was restricted for linked devices, requiring you to use your primary WhatsApp device instead. However, this restriction has now been lifted for good.

7. Event Option for Individual WhatsApp Chats

• Available on Android and iPhone

WhatsApp is also bringing the Events feature to individual chats. This feature has been available for a while for group chats, but WhatsApp was testing it on one-to-one conversations too. Now it is finally available for everyone, so you can now plan dates, and set an event for them right from the chat.

Upcoming WhatsApp Features in March 2025 (Beta)

While you enjoy the above new WhatsApp features, let us also take a look at some of the new stuff the app is working on for later releases.

8. Enhancements to Meta AI

• Testing on Android and iPhone

WhatsApp keeps improving its Meta AI experience on the app, and they are now testing some interesting new changes. Now you can long-press the Meta AI icon to enter live conversation mode. This will let you have a one-on-one voice chat with Meta AI and get real-time replies, similar to what we see with Gemini Live or ChatGPT Voice.

It also shows a call-like notification, allowing you to continue your voice chat even when you step outside WhatsApp as if you are on a call. It also shows options to mute and end the conversation right from the notification.

9. New Emoji Reaction Tray

Now this isn’t a big feature, but a minor visual change I thought was worth mentioning. When you tap on an emoji reaction on a message, it will show a new tray showing which user reacted with which emojis. This is especially helpful in group chats where you get bombarded with reactions, and this new tray can help you sort out who reacted with which emoji.

10. Message Replies in Threads

Another minor but helpful change, which is under testing, is message reply threads. This will let you track long chat replies to see who is replying to whose messages. Again, this is more helpful for group conversations than individual chats, and it will be interesting to see how it is implemented.

11. Option to Send Motion Photos

Most smartphones these days have an option to capture motion photos. Unlike regular photos, these capture a second or two of video along with the audio. Given how common this feature is these days, WhatsApp is adding an option to let you share them instead of treating them as regular photos like it does right now. This is another feature set to arrive later on.

12. Directly Share Spotify Song to WhatsApp Status

• Testing on Android and iPhone

WhatsApp is also improving its cross-platform capabilities, not just with its sister apps like Instagram and Facebook, but other popular apps as well. The app will soon allow you to share Spotify songs directly to WhatsApp Status updates.

This will be a much better preview than what it is currently, showing the background of the shared song, along with album art and artist name. It will also show the song link at the top of the status, letting you jump directly into Spotify to enjoy the song yourself.

13. Save Your WhatsApp Status

• Testing on Android and iPhone

Since we are on the subject, WhatsApp now lets you save your status updates. You can click on the 3 -dots icon next to your status and find a new Save option. Tap on it, and your status will be saved to your gallery. So if you ever felt like downloading your shared status, now you have the option to do so.

14. Send Messages from WhatsApp Status

Since WhatsApp wants you to post more status updates with its new features, there should be an option to easily interact with those viewing your status as well. That is why the app is adding a message shortcut that will appear in the viewer’s list. This will make it easy to jump into the chat of the people who like your status updates.

15. Set WhatsApp as the Default App

Finally, WhatsApp is also testing an option to let you set it as the default messaging and dialer app on iPhones. This can be a useful option if you primarily use WhatsApp for making calls or messaging others.

So these are all the new WhatsApp features we had in store for you in March 2025. I was pretty stoked about the song picker for status updates. Surprisingly, it arrived on stable before it did on the beta version I am running. Nonetheless, now that the feature is here, I am sure WhatsApp status will be much more fun.
