Gemini in Gmail for Android is borrowing this handy shortcut from the web version (APK teardown)

The Gmail app is set to enhance the Gemini panel by introducing an Insert shortcut for AI-generated replies, simplifying the process of incorporating these responses into email drafts. Currently, the Gemini panel allows users to summarize email threads, retrieve information from past emails, view and add events to Google Calendar, and draft responses with AI assistance. The new Insert button, represented by an arrow icon, will enable users to paste generated text directly into drafts with a single tap. This feature was discovered in an APK teardown of the latest Gmail build (2024.11.24.702067492.Release), although it is not yet functional and has caused app crashes. The Insert button already exists in the web version of Gmail, but there has been confusion regarding its availability on mobile platforms.

Microsoft pulls text recognition from Photos app preview

Microsoft has disabled the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality in its updated Photos app due to unspecified issues. This decision follows the introduction of the OCR capability in a Windows Insider preview released in October, which aimed to extract text from photos on Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices. Brandon LeBlanc, head of the Windows Insider Program, confirmed the deactivation within a month of the preview release. Reports of app crashes after the installation of the preview have been noted. The OCR feature was intended to enhance Microsoft's future initiatives, including the delayed Windows Recall service, which depends on accurately parsing images for searchable archives. Users hope for the restoration of the OCR feature for both Windows 11 and Windows 10, rather than limiting it to Copilot+ PC users.
