Google Play Store’s new swipe gesture is here to save you from accidental buys

Google has introduced a "Slide to buy" feature in the Play Store version 46.5.19-31, replacing the previous one-tap purchase method. This new feature requires users to engage with a pill-shaped button that involves a drag motion, complete with animated arrows and bounce effects to confirm purchases. It is designed to reduce accidental purchases and is available across all categories, including apps, books, movies, and Google TV. Users must now swipe sideways to confirm their intent before proceeding to password or fingerprint verification. This update aims to enhance the user experience by making the purchasing process more intentional and less stressful.

My favorite Google productivity app is everywhere and nowhere

36% of participants in a poll confirmed they actively use Google Tasks via its app or web interface, while 18% only add tasks through other Google products without engaging with the Tasks app. 9% expressed interest in trying it out for the first time, and 36% indicated they prefer another to-do platform. Google Tasks was originally an integrated feature within Gmail and Calendar and was relaunched as a standalone app in 2018. It allows users to create tasks from various Google services, enhancing its utility. The app is characterized by its simplicity and straightforward interface, which may contribute to its obscurity. Google is gradually rolling out new features for Tasks, including improved sorting options and easier task management capabilities. Despite its potential, Google Tasks currently occupies a lower priority in Google's broader product strategy.

Windows Photos adds fancy editing features from other Microsoft apps

Microsoft is updating its Windows Photos app with features from its Designer application in version 2025.11030.20006.0.

The integration of Designer's creative elements will allow users to create designs using existing images for greeting cards and other layouts. Users will be able to access the "Create with Designer" feature by right-clicking on photos in File Explorer.

Microsoft just launched a Copilot app for macOS, and Windows fans may be jealous

Microsoft has launched the Copilot app as a standalone offering for macOS, moving away from its previous web-only access. The app serves as a wrapped version of the web interface but includes native elements for improved usability, which are not available in the Windows version. Key features include Think Deeper and Copilot Voice, both offered at no additional cost. Users can upload and generate images and text, utilize a shortcut launcher, and access dark mode. The app requires an M1 processor or later and macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. It was initially launched in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, and has quickly become the top featured app in the App Store. Additionally, Microsoft announced that the Copilot app for iPad will soon support split-screen mode.

Best Windows 11 AI features that work on any computer

A Copilot+ PC is not required to access many AI features in Windows 11; older laptops that run Windows 11 can still utilize various AI-driven tools. The Photos app includes AI enhancements such as the Background tool, which allows users to blur, remove, or replace backgrounds in images. The Generative Erase function in Photos enables users to remove unwanted objects from photos. Microsoft Clipchamp offers an Auto Compose feature for quick video editing, allowing users to create videos with AI assistance. Microsoft's Copilot has become a standalone app, enabling window movement and custom keyboard shortcuts, and integrates advanced language models to assist with various tasks across Microsoft applications.

Windows 11 gets more adverts – and we’re not sure what’s going on with the latest ads, but they’re rather bewildering

Microsoft is increasing its promotional efforts in Windows 11 by introducing advertisements labeled as ‘suggestions’ or ‘recommendations.’ These ads encourage users to purchase titles like Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and subscribe to Microsoft 365. The notifications panel now includes a prompt for the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Vault Edition with a ‘Buy Now’ button that links to the Microsoft Store, and another notification promotes the Microsoft Defender app, which requires a Microsoft 365 subscription for full functionality. Users can opt out of these advertisements by adjusting settings in the Settings app. However, some embedded advertisements remain unavoidable, and there is a growing trend of advertisements in both Windows 11 and Windows 10, with Microsoft encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 11, often necessitating a hardware upgrade.
