YouTube is testing a new way for sharing videos with your friends

YouTube is testing a new messaging feature in its mobile app that allows users to share videos directly with friends and family. Users must be at least 18 years old and signed into a YouTube channel to use this feature. To share a video, users can tap the notification bell to generate an invite link, which can be sent to others. Once the invite is accepted, the sender receives a notification. Users can also share videos using the share button under the video player and have options to unsend or delete messages. This experiment is currently limited to users in Poland and Ireland.

Google will soon retire this handy Play Store feature

Google is discontinuing the Share apps feature on its Play Store, which allowed users to share applications with nearby individuals using Quick Share. Introduced in 2022, this feature had limitations, such as the inability to share paid applications, books, movies, age-restricted apps, or corporate applications. The retirement was confirmed in the December release notes for version 44.1 of the Play Store. Users can still share Android applications using the Files by Google app with Quick Share. The removal of the Play Store's app sharing option will be gradual.

The Pixel Studio app just got a welcome sharing addition

Google has updated its Pixel Studio app for the Pixel 9 series, introducing a feature that allows users to share images directly from other applications for editing, without needing to download them first. The new version (1.1.001.672728916.05) includes a sharing option that appears when users tap the share button in compatible apps, enhancing the editing workflow. However, the sharing feature only works with apps that support direct image file sharing, excluding platforms like Instagram and standard web browsers. Additionally, Pixel Studio does not support images with human subjects due to privacy and ethical considerations. Users have experienced occasional issues with opening images on the first attempt, indicating that the feature may still require further development.
