When it comes to repairing or replacing the parts of an iPhone, Apple has been requesting the users to get it done by Apple service centers and not by any other third-party vendor. However, many users still prefer to get it done from the outside due to the increased cost of repairing from Apple. Apple has been continuously fighting this and has been trying to convince the users that getting the phone repaired from a third party may lead to inconsistent performance of the smartphone.

Now, the same has also been seen in the latest iPhone 13. As per the reports, if the user gets the screen replaced for the iPhone 13 from outside or a third party, they will not be able to use FaceID any longer. With each version of the iPhone every year, Apple has been trying to take certain measures which would discourage the users from getting their iPhone repaired from the other stores. The report was provided by Phone Repair Guru on Youtube, which confirmed that FaceID will stop working on iPhone 13 as soon as the phone’s screen is replaced outside the Apple authorized store.

The FaceID will only work with the original screen that was shipped with the phone. Apple has also faced a lot of criticism for the same as they have been blamed for charging excessive repairing charges for the smartphone parts. However, it has not stopped Apple from applying such changes in an iPhone every year. Therefore, if you have a screen replacement issue, then make sure to get it replaced from a genuine Apple store only.

WhatsApp introduced its payment method on the app a while back with an intention to increase the e-commerce business on its platform. Although it is not as widely used by people for making payments, the company is planning new things to promote its payment system. WhatsApp has recently rolled out a new update on their Payment feature in India and Brazil where the users will be getting rewards and cashback on making payments through the platform. 

Previously the company added a new payment chat shortcut to let users send the money quickly. Now the new cashback and reward feature has been introduced to make sure that people are encouraged to use the WhatsApp Payment system more. The features tracker posted a screenshot that showed a new cashback banner at the top of the chat window. It has not been confirmed by the company whether cashback is available for all the transactions made through WhatsApp payment or only on the first transaction. 

The feature has currently been rolled out only to Beta users of the apps and when the final version of the app is released, it might include more rewards and features. The cashback feature is only limited to the UPI payment structure that the platform uses. The company is yet to make any kind of official announcement about the same, but we can expect it when the stable version of the feature is released. If you want to try out these features in Beta, you can install WhatsApp beta for iOS 2.21.190.11 and WhatsApp beta for Android 2.21.19.15.
