Is Rockstar Games making GTA 6 companion app? Fans speculate after viral post; here's what to expect from the application
According to Game Rant, Rockstar Games has earlier explored mobile companion apps with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR 2). A companion app could revolutionise the way players interact with the game.
While those apps performed fine in terms of downloads and ratings, but they drew criticism for missing the opportunity to include more worthy and useful features.
What is the GTA 6 companion app?
As per the latest rumours, Rockstar may get another chance to improve the experience of gameplay with the help of these apps, and this time the gaming manufacturer is planning for the most anticipated game of all time, which is GTA 6.
The launch of a companion app could revolutionise how players interact with the game.
Job listing post goes viral on Reddit
Amid this, the latest job post shared by a Reddit user @r/GTA6 quickly grabbed the attention of fans and players. The post read, "Mobile engineer with a strong understanding of iOS and/or Android development to help us build and maintain our mobile platform, including our SDK and build systems.'

It added that the candidate will be working on 'some of the most rewarding, large-scale creative projects to be found in any entertainment medium'.
Noticing the post, fans naturally started speculating and developing their own theories around the upcoming companion app for the title. One said, "Are companions apps making a comeback? I remember when the GTA V one came out, during the phase of them, and it was unpopular then. Im surprised seeing so many comments that are for this. I thought this was a dead trend"

While another added, "They never left for R* games. RDR2 also had one in 2018, which I think was better than the GTA 5 companion app, as it had an interactive live map of your current player position and surrounding activities (both story mode and online, but it was disabled for online later), useable story/online catalogue and the full strategy guide."
What to expect from the GTA 6 companion app?
Many assumed the companion app trend was fading with time after Blizzard shut down its WoW app. However, major developers still look interested in the same space.
As per Game Rant, one of the recent examples was the Zelda Notes feature that was added to the Nintendo Switch app, mimicking a companion app, after which, now, Rockstar seems to be following the league. Since the release of the first trailer of the game, the companion app highlighted a TikTok-style social media platform that showed off the many bizarreness of Leonida.
Moreover, the app could have some useful functions that are reflected in the game, depending on the level of integration.

Criminal Justice season 4: Who killed Roshni? Anju, Raj, Ira or someone else? Netizens claim killer may not be who you suspect
With the finale of Criminal Justice: A Family Matter dropping on July 3, 2025, fans aren't just waiting—they're investigating. The courtroom drama has turned everyday viewers into full-time Reddit detectives, each armed with screenshots, trailer stills, and timelines. As Pankaj Tripathi 's Madhav Mishra inches closer to uncovering the truth behind nurse Roshni Saluja's murder, the internet is already racing to deliver its verdict. Season 4 has kept audiences gripped with its layered storytelling. Dr. Raj Nagpal stands accused of murdering his girlfriend, nurse Roshni, while his estranged wife Anju and daughter Ira are slowly pulled into the shadows of suspicion. Every episode has introduced a new piece of evidence—from surveillance gaps to a suspicious lactose-free milk bottle—blurring the lines between guilt and innocence. Episode 7 ended with fresh twists, forcing fans to reconsider everything they thought they knew. And now, Reddit is brimming with bold, elaborate theories. (Beware, spoiler alert ahead!) The most convincing theory? The 'other doctor' did it One Reddit user suggests the killer is not Dr. Nagpal, but a fellow physician. According to their theory, this doctor suspected Roshni of poisoning Nagpal's daughter and, out of concern (and a possible college connection with Anju), tried to intervene. A confrontation allegedly turned fatal, with Anju helping cover it up. The motive? Protection. The fallout? A frightened daughter withholding the truth. The twist? She might just testify in the finale. Is the murder weapon a red herring—or the key? The scalpel, found late in the season, sparked intense speculation. Why did Anju hire Madhav Mishra? Was it guilt, or was it to protect someone else, like herself? As more viewers dig deeper, some argue the real killer might be Kamala, based on a woman's hand shown in the trailer's slitting scene. Others lean towards lesser-known characters like Roshni's ex-boyfriend, citing suspiciously little screen time. Slow burn or genius build-up? Fans are split While some viewers have dismissed the season as slow or underwhelming, others argue that the real issue is its weekly release format. 'It's not boring—it's suspenseful,' one fan defended. 'There are over 30 different plausible theories circulating. That means the show is doing its job: no one knows what's coming.' Still, many agree on one thing—if the final twist involves Anju, Raj, or Ira as the killer, it better be backed by airtight logic. Anything less could risk making the tension-filled build-up feel unearned. The final hearing With just one episode to go, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter has managed to do what few shows can—get everyone guessing, debating, and playing armchair detective. As July 3 approaches, one question looms large: Will the writers outsmart the internet?

Not Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, this Bollywood actor was 'World's most handsome man', ranked 7th globally, his name is...
While fan debates about Bollywood's most handsome actor often swing between Hrithik Roshan's sculpted looks, Shah Rukh Khan's charm, and even vintage heroes like Dev Anand, history holds a different verdict altogether. A recently resurfaced Reddit post has reignited this age-old conversation, pointing out that only two Bollywood stars have been declared the 'Most Handsome Man in the World' in a more formal context. According to a now-viral Reddit thread referencing a tweet from History TV , veteran actor Dharmendra was awarded the title of 'World's Most Handsome Man' in the mid-1970s. At the peak of his career, with rugged good looks and a towering screen presence, Dharmendra was not just a desi heartthrob, but a global one. Back in the '70s, when magazine covers and online polls defined celebrity appeal, Dharmendra's masculine grace and good looks were considered unmatched, and that made him earn the tag of this, long before the internet existed. Then came this actor in the 2000s Fast-forward a few decades, and Salman Khan, known for his brawny physique and blockbuster charm, reportedly earned the same tag in the early 2000s. Those who know and follow Salman Khan would know that, in 2004, People Magazine ranked him 7th in their global list of the world's most handsome men. Though unofficial, the recognition reflected Salman's surging global popularity and immense fan base. Further making his mark stronger better and massive, Salman's wax statue were also made at Madame Tussauds in London (2008) and New York (2012), placing him among a select few Indian actors honoured on an international stage. People are still going gaga over Salman Khan Even at the age of 59, Bollywood's Bhaijaan remains one of the industry's most bankable and beloved stars. Whether it's his enduring appeal in cinema or his philanthropic work, his stature as a superstar isn't just skin-deep. And while titles like 'Most Handsome Man in the World' may not carry official weight, they certainly carry legacy.

How Shefali Jariwala's Kaanta Laga Made Tattoos The Ultimate Cool For Millennials
It was 2002 and Kaanta Laga came at a time when the millenials were in that perfect age, of puberty, rebellion, and on the lookout for perhaps their first romance. Till then, tattoos were only about the free stick-on tattoos that came with Boomer chewing gum. Between those stick-on free Boomer tattoos and the 'I Love You' tattoo flaunted by Shefali Jariwala in the Kaanta Laga video, the millennials sort of came of age, just like the heroine dancing her heart out in a nightclub. The doll-like (and also scandalous) Shefali Jariwala danced into the hearts of millennials with Kaanta Laga. She was angelic yet bold, almost a source of inspiration for the 1990s kids. In the video, Shefali Jariwala played a young girl madly in love with a boy, who teases him with her dance moves in the nightclub they were visiting. She has a white bandage taped on her right upper arm in a big cross-like formation. Towards the end of the video, the model rips off the bandage to reveal the massive 'I Love You' tattoo, much to the surprise of her lover. Like what happens with anything that becomes a phenomenon, the tattoo was something almost everyone aspired to have. It was the new cool, much like Shah Rukh Khan's 'COOL' chain in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which released four years before Kaanta Laga came out. Right after the video became popular in 2002, rumours flew that Shefali Jariwala had died of cancer after she got the tattoo done. In 2021, influencer-actor Dolly Singh recreated the Kaanta Laga look for an Instagram reel. In her post, Dolly Singh also harked back to the rumours of Shefali Jariwala's death because of the tattoo. "Recreated the ' Kaanta Laga ' look. For '90s kids this is one of most iconic looks of all time. The song was a rage and it was so scandalous at the time. We even had rumours that the girl from the video died because of the tattoo (planted by parents who didn't want their children getting tattoos). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dolly Singh (@dollysingh) Since many believed the 'I Love You' tattoo was real, the "news" of the model dying of the dreaded disease must also be true. There's also a Reddit post about these years old rumours around Shefali Jariwala's "death" by cancer. "What rumour about Bollywood you heard in your childhood that still lives in your mind rent free?Exaggerated claims: no sources, no proof. Here's what I still remember." What rumour about Bollywood you heard in your childhood that still lives in your mind rent free? by u/MichealScott94 in BollyBlindsNGossip In fact, Shefali Jariwala had also heard the rumours of her death by the Kaanta Laga tattoo and laughed it off. In an appearance on her friend and fellow Bigg Boss 13 contestant Paras Chhabra's podcast, the actor-model said, " Isne tattoo kiya, isko cancer ho gaya aur woh marr gayi (She died after she got cancer from the tattoo). It was national news. News channels called me. " Tabki fan following kuch aur hi hoti thi (Fan following at that time used to be on some other level). That time there was no social media. The landlines kept ringing off hook. Arre Shefali Jariwala marr gayi, arre Shefali Jariwala marr gayi... It was the funniest thing ever." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shefali Jariwala 🧿 (@shefalijariwala) Interestingly, Shefali Jariwala had a real tattoo on her back.
