Tap n’ go: Android’s rumored ‘Tap to Share’ UI might’ve just broken cover

A new report highlights Google's "Tap to Share" feature, which includes a redesigned sharing menu that aligns with Android 16 aesthetics. Users will initiate the transfer process by overlapping their devices, which will emit a glow to indicate successful completion. The user interface features a straightforward sub-menu with three selectable options for sharing. The upcoming Galaxy S26 series will have dual antennas to support this feature. The process may utilize NFC technology, with potential future iterations using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The design of the sub-menu has been refined to match Android 16's visual elements.

I didn’t know how much I needed Gemini’s scheduled actions until I tried them

Megan Ellis, a user of the Gemini app, has found scheduled actions to be a valuable feature that automates routine tasks, saving her time and enhancing her productivity. Scheduled actions allow users to set automated prompts for the chatbot to generate responses at designated intervals, such as weekly or monthly reports and daily news summaries. Access to this feature varies by account type: personal accounts require Google AI Pro or Ultra plans, while work and school accounts have access limited to specific Google Workspace editions. To set up a scheduled action, users can chat with the AI, input a prompt, and instruct Gemini to repeat the action at specified times. Notifications alert users when their scheduled actions are ready. Megan uses scheduled actions to receive weekly summaries of consumer tech news and curated series recommendations, helping her stay informed and manage her viewing preferences. She wishes the feature were available to free users with some limitations.

Apple pulls Jack Dorsey’s messaging app from the Chinese App Store

Apple has removed the messaging app Bitchat from the Chinese App Store at the request of the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), which cited regulatory concerns. Bitchat, originally launched as Bitchat Mesh and developed by Jack Dorsey, allows anonymous, peer-to-peer communication using Bluetooth-based mesh networking, without relying on internet-connected servers. The app gained popularity in regions with internet shutdowns and social media restrictions. The CAC has alleged that Bitchat violated regulations requiring security assessments for apps that can influence public opinion or mobilize users. Dorsey confirmed the removal on X but has not disclosed any plans for Bitchat's return to the App Store.

Apple’s chips are the core of a new landscape, but its biggest win is Windows

Apple introduced its M1 Apple Silicon systems in late 2020, which received admiration but raised concerns due to a restrictive ecosystem. Over five years, Apple’s architecture has evolved, addressing challenges like gigabit Wi-Fi and high-speed expansion, yet it remains focused on desktops and laptops. The anticipated MacBook Neo, lacking an M-type System on Chip, has created apprehension within the Windows ecosystem. Currently, no Windows laptop can match the MacBook Neo in hardware quality and startup experience, while macOS offers a more tranquil workspace compared to the distractions of Windows 11. Apple has effectively utilized advancements in processor technology and manufacturing control to produce efficient chips and maintain a coherent ecosystem, making its products increasingly accessible. In contrast, Windows OEMs face challenges with component sourcing, build quality, and reliance on bloatware. There is potential for Microsoft to create a Windows Neo variant that meets user needs, while the sustainability of current business models for Windows OEMs is uncertain.
