Google is rolling out Snapseed 4.2 for Android and iOS, bringing a fresh batch of photo-editing features to the popular mobile app. The update adds Motion Blur, better Lens Blur, preset and LUT imports, and a way to discover other photographers’ editing styles, according to this Reddit post. The biggest addition might be preset and LUT support, especially for users already entrenched in editing workflows using apps like Lightroom. Instead of having to start from scratch with their favorite color treatments, they can now import those looks straight into Snapseed. This rollout is staged, so it may take a while…

Here’s a confession: I never close my browser tabs. I just let them pile up until my browser looks like a Tetris game I’ve already lost. Well, it looks like Apple is finally ready to help me clean up. Apple’s first iOS 27.3 developer betas are here, and they add three new Safari features: Vertical Tabs, Adaptive Dark Mode, and Siri commands. It’s the one I’m most excited about.  What do Vertical Tabs and Adaptive Dark Mode actually change? Vertical Tabs is the overdue one. It’s an optional left-hand sidebar that replaces the top tab row, showing only icons until…

Owning a foldable with a massive screen is great until you’re stretching your thumb across it like you’re playing Twister. Thankfully, Apple has brought a familiar iPhone feature to its foldable, making one-handed use easier. The iOS 27.3 developer beta brings Reachability to the iPhone Duo, letting you shift content from one side of the screen to the other with a simple swipe. How to turn on Reachability feature on the iPhone Duo? If you own a regular iPhone, you’ve probably used Reachability before. It’s the feature that slides the top of your screen down to your thumb. Now Apple…

Apple‘s latest wave of beta software recently went live for developers, bringing several new features across Safari, iOS, and watchOS. Along with these changes, the company also announced something far more significant for third-party developers: it is finally letting them use Siri AI more deeply, opening up capabilities previously limited to a narrow set of supported actions. The company released a new developer preview that lets apps handle more complex requests, including booking restaurant reservations, checking deliveries, and placing orders. All by simply asking Siri. Big news for our developers! We are shipping a developer preview that dramatically expands the…

[UPDATE: Google has clarified that educators can choose to disable any of the AI products, independent of Google Search. Here is what the company shared in a post on X: Schools are in control: They can choose to turn ON one, two, or all of these services individually.The original story is as follows] Google says it wants to give schools more control over how students use AI. But its proposed solution comes with a rather extraordinary condition: schools that opt to block AI entirely will also lose access to Google Search on student accounts. The conclusion is that schools can…

StandBy on iPhone has always felt like an underwhelming feature to me. It does turn a charging iPhone into a glanceable display. However, until now, Apple has offered fairly limited customization options. Well, that seems to be changing.  Apple’s first iOS 27.3 developer beta, released Tuesday, brings the new StandBy features. While they debuted on the iPhone Duo, they’re now available for other iPhones that support StandBy.  What’s actually new in StandBy? Let’s start with the clocks, because they’re the first thing you see in the dark anyway. The Analog and Digital clocks have been refreshed with a wider color…

Apple‘s redesigned Health app has made a return in the first iOS 27.3 developer beta after an unexpected disappearance last month. First showcased in September, the Apple Intelligence-powered overhaul was briefly available for testing before Apple quietly pulled it from the iOS 27.2 beta in October. No explanation was offered. But Apple’s latest software update has another health and fitness addition that I find far more interesting. Apple Fitness+ is getting Gym Strength, a feature that could actually help people make better use of their time at the gym. What is new with the Health app? As per Apple’s announcement,…

Netflix has started testing a new feature called AI Discover, which aims to make it easier for users to find something worth watching instead of mindlessly scrolling through its catalog of films and TV series. The broad idea is that you simply tell it what you’re in the mood to watch, and the AI handpicks movies and TV shows accordingly. Netflix says AI Discover has been built around themes, which help users narrow down their choices instead of going through a list of genre presets or content types. For example, you can pick themes like a family movie, something lighthearted,…
