A Meta AI integration that functions similarly to X's Grok is being tested by Hreads. To gain further context, users with public accounts will be able to mention Meta AI in a post or a reply. In Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Argentina, and Singapore, the feature is presently undergoing beta testing. In an email to TechCrunch, Meta explained that the functionality is intended to provide users with recommendations and real-time context regarding breaking stories and trends, all within chats. Inquiries such as "Why are people talking about the World Cup this month?" "Whose Met Gala looks are trending right now?" or "How are the Knicks performing in the playoffs?" can now be asked by mentioning Meta AI. After processing the invocation, Meta AI will produce a public reply written by the @meta.ai account. Meta AI will reply using the same vocabulary as the post in which it was mentioned. By incorporating Meta AI into its platform, Threads is presenting itself as a location where you can obtain information and suggestions without ever leaving the app, in addition to being a forum for discussing news and trends.

Read moreDetailsThe function, known as "Intrusion Logging," is a component of Android's Advanced Protection Mode, an opt-in special security mode that Google introduced last year. Its purpose is to make the device more difficult to hack by activating specific capabilities. Advanced Protection Mode is intended to thwart police forensic tools and government spyware attacks that attempt to retrieve data from a person's phone. It is also possible to combine these two kinds of attacks. In at least one recorded instance in Serbia, police unlocked a smartphone using a Cellebrite law enforcement forensic tool before installing malware to keep an eye on the victim. For the first time, a phone manufacturer has introduced a tool aimed at assisting security researchers in their investigation of spyware attacks: Intrusion Logging. In order to offer insight into suspected spyware attacks, Android's Intrusion Logging develops a new kind of log that logs failures and gathers evidence when something goes wrong with the software. Intrusion Logging is "a fundamental shift in the volume and quality of forensic data available on Android devices," according to Amnesty International, which collaborated with Google to create the function.

There, Google revealed that Gemini would soon be able to carry out increasingly complicated tasks, such as scheduling a front-row bike for a spin class, locating a class syllabus in Gmail, and then looking up literature on the subject. Image Source: Google A multistep process, such as copying a grocery list from your notes app and then adding things to the cart in your shopping app, will now be handled by Google's AI assistant. Pressing the phone's power button and describing the task will activate this capability. In the meantime, the assistant's context is provided by the material on the phone's screen. Gemini will wait for your final confirmation before completing the checkout, according to Google.
Read moreDetailsOn Tuesday, Google released a new feature for Android called "Create My Widget," which lets users vibe-code their own unique widgets. This summer, the newest Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones will be the first to include the capability. Users will be able to utilize natural language to express what they want when creating a widget. To receive a custom dashboard that you can add and resize on your home screen, you could, for instance, ask the tool to "suggest three high-protein meal prep meals every week." Alternatively, you can make a weather widget that solely displays wind speed and precipitation on your home screen if you are a biker. In order to create a single, customized dashboard, Gemini may also gather data from the internet and integrate with Google apps like Gmail and Calendar. For example, it can collect your travel and hotel information, display restaurant bookings, and even add a countdown if you are organizing a family gathering in Berlin.
Read moreDetailsAndroid now has an anti-doomscrolling feature. (Yes, things have really gotten that terrible.) Google unveiled Pause Point on Tuesday. It is intended to prevent users from interacting with addictive apps on Android, the mobile operating system that runs Samsung devices, Google's Pixel smartphones, and other devices.

Read moreDetailsAt its Android Show: I/O Edition 2026 event on Tuesday morning, Google unveiled Rambler, a new AI-powered voice dictation function for Gboard, its popular Android keyboard software. With the debut, Google will face competition from a growing number of AI-powered dictation apps, such as Wispr Flow and Typeless, which have gained popularity on desktop and mobile devices in recent years but have not yet established a significant presence on Android. Rambler eliminates filler words like "ums" and "ahs," just like other dictation programs. Additionally, it recognizes mid-sentence adjustments such as "I am going to meet you on Wednesday at our normal coffee shop at 3 p.m.... oh, 2 p.m." Google claimed to use multilingual models based on Gemini that facilitate code swapping. Rambler will follow along without losing context when users switch between languages mid-sentence, for as from English to Hindi. The majority of Western dictation apps have been sluggish to support this feature, which reflects how many multilingual speakers really communicate. According to the business, Gboard will make it obvious to customers that the Rambler function is being used. It just uses audio to transcribe user speech and does not save any voice recordings. During the meeting, Google said that the Rambler feature is similar to "reinventing the keyboard" because it can be used across all apps.
