Few things in life are as irritating as a song playing on an endless loop in your head, while its name escapes you. Fortunately, Google can help you identify that elusive song title. So next time you are at a party and want to add the groovy music blasting in the background to your playlist, or you want to take over as deejay, you can use the steps below to identify the song.
WhatsApps use of phone numbers has left user privacy wide open to spam and harassment. Since phone numbers are needed for setting up accounts and receiving messages, its easy for people to misuse them. To fix this, the Meta-owned messaging platform has been working on usernames since early 2023, so users can chat with unique handles instead of sharing their phone numbers. Now, a recent beta build hints that WhatsApp might add the option to set up PINs for extra protection against unwanted messages.
Like its desktop counterpart, Google Chrome is among the most popular web browsers for Android. Despite being resource-hungry, it's the preferred browser for many thanks to its seamless syncing of tabs and history across your devices. Plus, Google regularly updates Chrome with new features and enhancements to deliver a better experience. Despite all this, Chrome for Android has stuck to its old 'Chrome sync' model, where you must manually enable data syncing after logging into your Google account. 15 years after its introduction, Google is finally doing away with this approach.
YouTube TV is quickly becoming the go-to option for cord-cutters eager to dive into the upcoming NFL Sunday Ticket season. Its standout feature is the multiview option, which lets you catch up to four games at once, so you never miss a moment. But there's a catchright now, you can only use multiview on TV screens or through the YouTube TV app, and it's only available in the US. But that's changing soon, as Google plans to bring multiview to the main YouTube platform.
Google's 'Help me write,' a tool that essentially started out as an AI suggestion feature for Gmail to help you complete common sentences, expanded to Chrome earlier this year and has evolved into a robust writing companion. Powered by Gemini, the tool's functionality includes writing suggestions and rewrites, with more significant updates rolling out now that will enhance its ability to polish and refine your email drafts.

SDF – The Future of 3D Modelling
SDF, Signed Distance Fields or Signed Distance Functions are a relatively new approach to computer graphics. Described on Wikipedia as: Let Ω be a subset of a metric space X with metric d, and ∂Ω be its boundary. The distance between a point x of X and the subset ∂Ω of X is defined as usual asd(x,∂Ω)=infy∈∂Ωd(x,y), where inf denotes the infimum. The signed distance function from a point x of X to Ω is defined byf(x)={d(x,∂Ω)if x∈Ω−d(x,∂Ω)if x∉Ω. In much simpler terms, […]

Slowly but steadily, Google has been working on integrating Gemini into all its popular services. The company was spotted developing Gmail's free Gemini integration in May this year. A month later, Gemini-powered summarizations rolled out in Gmail, making it easy to go through huge email chains quickly. Now, it appears Google has started rolling out even deeper Gemini integration in Gmail, allowing you to use the AI chatbot to help draft emails, change its tone, and more.
If you use any type of smartphone, tablet or computer, you'll know that there's this complicated love-hate relationship when it comes to notifications. While it's great to get those instant notifications about something important, sometimes, those same notifications can really just wait. Now, every ecosystem handles notifications differently, and while things have come a long way and are pretty good on Android, there's always going to be room for improvement.
A VPN, or virtual private network, can help you take control of your online privacy and ensure your data doesn't fall into the wrong hands. A good VPN service can keep you protected from trackers, those scary-good personalized advertisements, and even hackers.
Android has always given users a lot of freedom, letting them manage their devices pretty much how they want, including grabbing apps from third-party sources. While Google did require people to enable a certain setting to install apps from outside the Play Store, it was a simple process. But now, Googles new policy is about to make sideloading apps a bit more of a hassle. With the latest guidelines, users will have to go through an extra step when downloading apps from third-party sources.

I'm just going to say it. I've never liked the Play Store. In my humble opinion, it has always been awful for discovering quality apps and games, and has only grown worse over the years. Instead of actually helping users find good apps and games that don't break the bank, it feels more like Google is only interested in pushing everyone towards subscription apps and games filled with gambling. Of course, this setup lines Google's pockets with a hefty share of profits, which means it is incentivized to push what makes it the most money instead of what users find useful.

If WhatsApp is your preferred instant messaging app, you certainly arent alone. Meta, the tech giant behind WhatsApp, has made it a point to continue evolving the messenger through several means. Whether its the addition of new features or the accessible interface that keeps you coming back, make no mistake Meta has made many of these updates to not only satisfy its users, but maintain its competitive edge in a crowded field. Now, a new type of sticker pack is rolling out for those very reasons.
As a photographer, you can find plenty of Android apps to up your editing game. But your options are limited if you want a third-party camera app to replace your phone's built-in app. There's a reason why third-party camera apps are so bad on Android. In April this year, Blackmagic known for its high-quality digital film cameras and DaVinci Resolve previewed the Blackmagic Camera for Android at NAB Las Vegas, promising to bring professional video controls to the best Android phones. Two months later, the app is now live on the Play Store.

Protecting your digital privacy with passwords is crucial for online security. While a reliable password manager helps, a two-factor authentication (2FA) app like Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of protection. However, you might get locked out of your accounts if your phone is lost or damaged. This guide shows you how to back up your Google Authenticator app so you dont have to worry about losing access to your online accounts.
QR code, short for Quick Response code, is a machine-readable code comprising an array of black-and-white squares. It essentially works like barcodes. However, they are not the same as barcodes due to their physical characteristics. For example, barcodes can only be scanned in a line, whereas a scanner can read QR codes in all directions (two-dimensions). As a result, QR codes can hold more data than barcodes.
If you're looking for a place to safely store your files, Google Drive is going to be one of the best cloud storage solutions that you can use in 2024. The service offers personal and enterprise options, and integrates well with other Google services.

Thanks to cross-platform availability, handy editing tools, seamless sharing, and AI add-ons, Google Photos is the best app to manage your ever-growing media library. While Google Photos is free to download and use, the backup storage isn't. You get 15GB of free space, which is spread across Gmail, Google Drive, and device backups. While it's sufficient to get started with Google's services, you will run out of space soon if you snap and back up a lot of pictures and videos using one of the best camera phones.
Despite lagging behind music streaming juggernauts like Spotify and Apple Music, YouTube Music has come along quite nicely over the past few years. However, some of the app's features aren't consistent across all platforms. For example, while the Android and iOS versions of YouTube Music can pick up where you left off after closing and reopening the app including for songs and podcasts this functionality does not currently exist for the app's web version. Thankfully, that appears to be changing now as part of a recent change.

This Android Police podcast, Will and Joe Maring, editor of the section dubbed Mobile for Digital Trends, are starved of sleep and proper equipment prior to sharing their thoughts about Google I/O 2024. If you've been living above ground for the past couple years, you know what this song and dance is working up to: more artificial intelligence promises, more asphalt for the road on which the kicked can lies, and extremely inadequate results that would probably make your parents think twice about sticking them on the fridge door.

The Emoji Kitchen on Gboard combines two emoji to create a new mashup sticker. The collection houses thousands of combinations, and Google adds more every few months. The resulting mashups add more personality to existing emoji, allowing you to convey emotions that a single emoji can't. We tried many of the combos, from cutesy to disturbing. This guide walks you through the best Gboard Emoji Kitchen combos to try on your phone, whether it's a top 5G phone or a budget-friendly model.
Google Messages rolled out a big redesign for its text field back in January, with the field being split into two lines rather than just one. The idea here was to give users easy access to the multiple shortcuts available in the messaging app while also trying to retain the same text field size. However, this change didn't go down well with many of the app's users. Back in April, we learned that the company may be working on a reversal of this particular text-field redesign. It now looks like the single-line text field is rolling out to some users with the Google Messages beta release.

You may see an error message that says, "This account is not allowed to use WhatsApp" when opening the messaging app on your smartphone, Chromebook, or laptop. This message likely means you're facing an account ban. WhatsApp only bans accounts when users partake in activities that go against its Terms of Service. However, there are things you can do to appeal the ban.
WhatsApp betas give us an excellent idea about upcoming feature additions. While not all of them make it to the stable version of the app, features that are designed to improve existing functionality generally get the green light. Similarly, we recently came across a WhatsApp beta that revealed work on revamping how people search for new Channels with the help of categories. A follow-up update is now providing additional info on this front.
