AI has played a large role in disseminating information to users from thousands of sources, and healthcare is a massive search category with proprietary search functions. Google announced that Search is adding a new function that will showcase user suggestions sourced from online discussions to suggest something for that pain in your left side.

Both the Ayaneo Gaming Pad and Pocket S2 debuted today, bringing Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 SoC into the market at the highest end of the company’s G series for gaming devices. The Gaming Pad is Ayaneo’s first Android tablet, and it’s quite something.

Phone Link has been around for some time, and it offers a way for users to connect their Windows machine with an Android device for certain tasks, like viewing photos or sending messages. Microsoft Copilot AI is getting an update that will allow your Android device to share data in the same way, making the AI model capable of controlling your phone’s settings via something called “Phone Connection.”

If you’re content with what Google offers in Gemini, you might leave the AI assistant as your default option when it comes to long-pressing the power button. However, the digital assistant that you conjure with a button press or swipe up from the corner can be changed, and a new update to the ChatGPT beta means it’s now a default option.

On Windows and MacOS, Google Chrome’s bread and butter is extensions. They round out the user experience, and each user finds a different arsenal of add-ons useful. That feature never made it to Android, but it looks like Microsoft Edge has added extensions in its latest mobile build.

Android 16 Beta 3 has officially launched, and the new OS brings a couple of small changes that might normally go unnoticed. One minor but apparently important change is a new “close” app option that appears when the app icon in Android 16’s recent menu is tapped.

Google Wallet introduced something called ID pass in late 2024. The new feature allows users to add their US passport to Google Wallet like a digital ID, and it provides some convenient benefits even if you don’t plan on using it all of the time.

Sports scores show up by default via the Now Bar in Samsung’s One UI 7 build, but tailoring those settings can be a bit of a pain. A new update to Samsung’s AOD makes that integration a little better with Now Bar and adds a guide to set up sports integration with Google.

The Pixel 9a is expeted to be released later this month, so that means more leaks are bound to show up as we approach the launch. A new Pixel 9a leak surfaces, showing off the camera in action during a Lucha Libre match.

One UI 7 has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, and the beta version has been the only taste most users—other than S25 users—have had. A new tip indicates that Samsung may release One UI 7 in its stable form for the Galaxy S24, omitting any further beta updates. In reality, we don’t know what Samsung’s plans could be next.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the most expensive phone from Google right now, at least, out of the ones that don’t fold. Through an insane Best Buy deal, the Pixel 9 Pro XL was briefly $500 off, but it seems that was a short-lived event or a glitch.

Samsung’s update approach has been all over the place after what was a period of consistent updates over the last couple of years. Samsung’s internal testing of One UI 8 based on Android 16 mirrors the timeline of One UI 6, which was the last time the company was on track.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is an outlier among the company’s most recent lineup. It wasn’t released with the familiar party of three that users are used to seeing. Instead, The S25 Edge is a standalone release with some mysterious characteristics, like a lighter weight, obviously thinner body, and a price tag that apparently falls right around what the Galaxy S25+ costs.

One UI 7 is finally starting to appear on more devices than the Galaxy S25. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the next device to receive the beta version, and it’s available to download now.

One UI 7 still hasn’t made it’s way to most devices, even though Samsung is actively proclaiming that the software is soon to roll out to users. Still, it seems the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has gotten access to One UI 7 before publicly available, and new photos showcase what the OS will bring to Samsung’s most premium tablet.

1Password is one of the most comprehensive password managers available to users, housing some of the best features available, like Passkey compatibility. The latest add from 1Password is a new location-based suggestion feature called “nearby items.”

The YouTube app for TV — not to be confused with YouTube TV — is reportedly looking to take on a redesign in order to make more paid content available to users. This move would put the app in line to compete with other paid content providers like Amazon Prime Video or Disney+.

It takes some effort on every Galaxy device to tune notifications so that we don’t become bombarded with alerts at all waking moments. One UI 7 provides an avenue for that, as well as other advanced options to ensure you’re seeing the alerts you actually care about and none you don’t. This quick guide will take you through those settings.
