With the upcoming Android developer verification rules, there’s been a growing concern regarding Google effectively killing sideloading Android apps. But Google says that’s not the case.

Notion is quietly making its AI Meeting Notes feature much more practical and much harder to break. In a recent update shared by the company, AI Meeting Notes can now run in the background, so users can switch apps, minimize Notion, or even lock their screen without interrupting transcription. This is a small change on paper, but a big one in day-to-day usage, especially for people juggling meetings, notes, and multitasking workflows. Until now, most AI note-taking tools required users to keep the app active or visible, which often defeated the whole purpose of “hands-free” note-taking. Why does this change…

If you’ve ever sent a message into a busy Google Messages group chat and watched it vanish into the void, you’re not alone. That unseen, unacknowledged message often gets buried under texts, reactions, or GIFs from other users, forcing you to resend it.  Well, Google has finally heard your silent screams. After months of beta testing, Google Messages has officially rolled out what is possibly one of the most useful features for group chats: Mentions.  How does ‘@’ Mentions work?

According to Nielsen NBA audiences on ABC and ESPN have largely flatlined this season, down 1% year-on-year, while TNT’s are 14% lower — apparently a casualty of…

This contradicts previous reports suggesting a September release (via MacRumors). So, what will Apple showcase in September 2026? To me, it sounds like Apple could still showcase the iPhone Fold at the iPhone 18 Pro…
