Samsung is seemingly winding down the sale of its Galaxy Z TriFold roughly three months after it became available on the market, Bloomberg News reported. A company spokesperson told the publication it will halt sales for the US$2,899 (~CA$3,977) device in South Korea before ending its sales in the US, at least until the remaining stocks are cleared.

Bloomberg noted that the move is anticipated, given that the company stopped teasing future restocks on its website. According to posts on social media and Reddit, some units are still available in Samsung Experience Stores in Frisco, Texas and Queens, New York.

Sleeping Pokémon aren't just the latest additions to Garmin smartwatches. The latest app supported on select wearables is Meta's WhatsApp. You can now quickly reply to chats by typing on a tiny keyboard, which supports emojis, on your smartwatch's screen or by using canned messages. However, there is no voice note support or the option to transcribe spoken audio to text.

According to Forbes, the app can show you your 10 most recent chats or group chats. It is also only supported on more recent Garmin devices. If your watch is supported, the app is available for download on the Garmin Connect IQ app store.
