WhatsApp has announced a bunch of new features right in time for the holiday season, and the most notable addition is something that the company thinks “will make voicemails a thing of the past.” In reality, it works much like traditional voicemails, with the added convenience of leaving a video message after missed video calls. In a blog post, WhatsApp explains that users can now leave a voice or video message after missed calls, depending on the call type. Users on the receiving end can listen to these messages later on with just a tap. In addition to the new…

Google’s idea of an AI-powered browsing experience goes beyond simply adding Gemini to Chrome, and its latest experiment offers a clear glimpse of what comes next. With Disco, a new AI browser from Google Labs, Google plans to “shape the future of web browsing,” starting with an innovative feature called GenTabs. Google describes Disco as a “discovery vehicle for Google Labs to test ideas for the future of the web.” Much like Chrome, it’s built on Chromium and features some common elements. However, what sets it apart is its ability to build “interactive web applications” by combining information from multiple…

The shift to macOS Tahoe introduced a whole bunch of upgrades to core Mac systems. Spotlight, in particular, got some noteworthy tweaks such as support for custom shortcuts and an improved AI-powered search system. The disappearance of LaunchPad, however, proved to be a controversial change. Apple also didn’t pay attention to deeper cross-app integrations that have made apps such as RayCast a hot favorite in the user community. The new Spotlight wants to be the hub of your core Mac activities, but not without its fair share of clutter and a few big omissions. And let’s not forget the Dock has remained…

Instagram has launched a major update for its Edits app. The app’s latest version adds pre-built templates, storyboards, advanced text customization options, and the ability to pull public Reels directly into the app, making it easier to remix (or repurpose) content (via a Threads post). Among the most notable additions is a lock screen widget for iPhone users that provides instant access to the camera or lets creators drop a quick shot into the Edits app without unlocking the phone. By adding customizable templates, storyboards, and lockscreen access, Edits will reduce the friction between inspiration and creation, which could otherwise…

Google has rolled out the most significant upgrade in Chrome’s history; it is embedding some advanced AI-based features directly into the web browser. These upgrades include AI Mode accessible from the address bar (or what Google calls the omnibox), multi-tab analysis (compares and summarizes content), Tab History Recall, and deeper integration with Google’s apps like Calendar, Maps, and YouTube. Additional features include an agentic browsing assistant, contextual page questions, enhanced scam detection, smart notification filtering, and one-click password changes. Furthermore, Chrome’s AI tools are now being marketed as native browser features, suggesting they may become an integral part of the…

Engineers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a vine-like robotic gripper that wraps around objects before gently lifting them. The innovative robot consists of a pressurized box that releases inflatable tubes capable of expanding around objects before retracting to lift them. The engineers have designed it to safely handle fragile objects like a glass vase, as well as heavier and awkwardly shaped ones like watermelons. In what could turn out to be groundbreaking development for the care industry, it can even lift a human. Compared to some of the other care-focused robots like the abandoned Robear, this new design…

Internal code in iOS 26 has reportedly leaked Apple’s 2026 iPad roadmap. Folks at MacWorld cite code for a pre-release iOS 26 build, claiming that the new baseline iPad will carry the codenames “J581” and “J582.” Further, the iPad could run on Apple’s A19 chip, the one that we’ve seen on the baseline iPhone 17. This could provide the 12th-generation iPad a significant performance jump over the current model that features the A16 chip. To put things into perspective, the A19 chip features more RAM (8GB) and offers about 50% more processing power than the A16 chip. Along with the…

The bread and butter of Chinese tech company Hisense is TVs, specifically ones that offer tech often reserved for premium models but at a lower price. And with tech expo CES 2026 being the biggest event of the year for new TV announcements, we’re expecting to soon see what the brand has up its sleeves when it begins on January 6. Last year’s CES saw Hisense unveil a gargantuan 116-inch TV, called the TriChroma LED, and while its mini-LED goodness never trickled down to smaller screen sizes that we could buy, we probably haven’t seen the last of its RGB…
