Again Windows 10 Build 10036 Leaks

It has been a few months since we have had a proper build of Windows 10 leak but that changes today as build 10036 has been posted on the web. So far, we’ve seen a handful of leaked screenshots and some videos over the last few weeks of the upcoming Windows 10 build. However, OSBetaArchives has just leaked the upcoming Windows 10 build, build 10036.

Build 10036 doesn’t come with Microsoft’s latest browser, Spartan. The build includes new UI improvements, transparent Start Screen, improved network settings and much more. We don’t recommend installing the leaked build – however, if you want to take the risk, you can download it from here. It’s worth mentioning that the leak is available in two variants: Enterprise and Pro as well.

Microsoft or the Windows team hasn’t yet revealed any official launch date for the upcoming build. However, we expect the company to release a new build to Windows Insiders later next week.

WhatsApp rolls out the Voice Call feature only for Android Users -- how you enable this feature

Previous year WhatsApp announced their plan to add a voice calling feature to its instant messaging app i.e. WhatsApp. The feature was rolling out to users on an invite basis. But the company is finally easing up on that as now it is allowing anyone to get the call feature provided they have an Android phone with the v2.11.561 installed on it, and a friend with the feature willing for you to call them. BetaNews is able to report and confirm that the aforementioned trick is working worldwide.

In Marketplace, there is a bunch of apps which already have the internet voice calling features such as Viber, Hangouts (it charges for international calls), Skype, and even Facebook’s Messenger, WhatsApp isn't the first one to get this. But what makes WhatsApp different over competing apps is the voluminous amount of users it has attracted since its launch in 2009.

While the internet voice calling feature doesn't appear as enticing -- or at least new -- in developed nations, it is evidently a major hit in the developing world such as India, where it has entrenched itself as a front runner in the competition. Furthermore, internet voice calling also allows people in the emerging market to significantly reduce their mobile tariff.

To use this feature, users are required to download the v2.11.561 app on their Android smartphone or tablet (users can install it on a tablet by sideloading the installation file), and ask their friends -- who already have the feature -- to call them up. As soon as the call is over, users will observe visual changes in the user interface of the app as well as an improved call button. At the time of writing, the feature wasn't active on WhatsApp’s Windows Phone and iPhone apps.

Gallery: On Windows 10 build 10031 Floodgates are opened

Wzor has now truly opened the floodgates on 10031 bearing all but a physical leak of the x86 variant of build 10031 in a blog post, updated earlier today.

These past few days have shown us a new login screen, Spartan in action, and included in the build unfortunately (for many) the crappy 'new' Recycle Bin is also still there. Many will hope it doesn't make it into the RTM which is expected to roll out by June.

All of the images are from a Russian Windows 10 build, so some aren't too clear as to what we're seeing regarding Settings menus, but it does give us an idea what to expect soon.

All that remains is for Microsoft to deliver on their promise of a faster cycle of build releases for Insiders, which should mean we will get to play around with a new build sometime in the coming week.
