Google Messages is introducing a much-needed tweak to its Smart Replies feature that should reduce the chances of users accidentally sending the wrong AI-generated response. The app’s latest beta release adds an option that lets users review suggested replies before sending them. Currently, Smart Replies in Google Messages offers short AI-generated responses that match the context of the last message you received right above the compose box in the chat. Tapping one of these suggestions immediately sends it to the recipient, which can be convenient but also risky. Accidental taps can send messages before users have the chance to review…

They say the third time’s the charm. The owner of Possible — the conference, trade show and event that’s hitting its third year — certainly hopes so and has invested millions into its scaled but careful expansion.Hyve Group, an event and conference specialist that owns ShopTalk, Fintech Meetup and dozens of other events globally — and bought Possible’s owner Beyond Ordinary Events last year for a rumored $40 million — is bringing a signature feature of ShopTalk to Possible: scheduled meetings. While ShopTalk schedules something on the level of 50,000 such meetings, the scaled down version for Possible is closer…

You know a launch is close when the retail listings start showing up before the press release does. Evan Blass posted screenshots on X from what appear to be retail listings for the Galaxy A57 and A37 — and between the renders, specs, and pricing, there’s not a whole lot left for Samsung to announce. Where the differences start to show The A57 also quietly picks up Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6.0 while the A37 stops at Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 — a small thing that’ll only bother you once it starts bothering you. Both are said to launch…

The first leak surrounding the Pixel 11 Pro Fold has surfaced, offering an early look at Google’s next foldable phone. According to CAD renders shared by Android Headlines in partnership with OnLeaks, the device will look very similar to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, though with a slightly slimmer profile and a redesigned camera bump. The most noticeable change appears to be the thinner chassis. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is expected to measure 10.1mm when folded and 4.8mm when unfolded, making it slightly slimmer than its predecessor. The overall height and width, however, are expected to remain largely the…

Microsoft is rolling out a new, faster, and more efficient way to add hyperlinks in Word. Instead of selecting text, opening the Insert Link dialog, and inserting a URL, users can now select text and paste a link directly over it; Word automatically converts it into a hyperlink. Whether you’re using the software on a Windows PC/laptop or a MacBook, all you have to do is copy the concerned link, highlight a word or phrase, and press Ctrl + V or Cmd + V, and Word takes care of the rest. Adding hyperlinks in Word just got a lot faster…

In the measured language of quarterly earnings calls few phrases say more with less than “cautious but competitive”. That’s how Publicis Groupe CEO Arthur Sadoun described the mood among advertisers as tariffs cast a long shadow over the global economy and subsequently ad spending.As President Trump administration’s tariffs keep the world guessing, marketers are starting to weigh the consequences: thinner margins, shakier pricing and the return of financial scrutiny across every marketing line item. No one’s pulling out. But no one’s doubled down either.  “To be clear, our clients are going to wait to see if there is more visibility…

Vivo’s product manager Han Boxiao took to Weibo this week to talk telephoto cameras, and what he described sounds less like a smartphone spec sheet and more like a pitch for a professional cinema rig. The subject: the fifth-generation Zeiss 200-megapixel “Thanos” periscope telephoto lens coming to the Vivo X300 Ultra — and if even half of it holds up, the iPhone 17 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra have a real problem on their hands. New zoom sensor with some serious resolution and stabilization muscle The centerpiece is a new Samsung HPE sensor sitting behind Zeiss’ fifth-gen 200MP Thanos telephoto…

A case retailer has accidentally become one of the more interesting sources of Google Pixel 11 Pro information this week. Thinborne, a Texas-based accessories brand known for its ultra-thin aramid fiber cases, has quietly listed a Pixel 11 Pro XL case on its website — and while the case itself is unremarkable, what its camera cutout suggests about the phone’s design is worth talking about. The case itself isn’t the story The case is classic Thinborne: 0.9mm thick on the back, 0.6mm on the sides, made from 600D aramid fiber, MagSafe compatible, and bundled with a tempered glass screen protector.…

Brands are increasingly feeling the impact of President Trump’s tariffs — particularly those sourcing from China, where U.S. tariffs have climbed to 145%, with more changes on the horizon.One such brand is Bogg Bag, the brightly colored, Croc-inspired tote bag that was riding a wave of virality last year. Kimberlee Vaccarella, CEO and founder of Bogg Bag, is no stranger to economic headwinds, having launched her business amidst the 2008 financial crisis, managed tariffs during the first Trump administration and navigated a supply chain crisis during the Covid-19 pandemic. Trump’s current tariffs, however, are new. The start and stop nature of…
