Now, you can ask Google Photos to edit pictures for you. Even if you don't know anything about photo editing, you just type what you want to improve and it'll do it for you. Okay.So, for this photo, when I'm looking at it, my personal preference would be I want to fix the lighting. Okay. And I'm going to fix the framing.So, let's put that in. Okay. You see this kind of sparkly vibe that's going on.That is the Gemini models that work. So, they're identifying the people and they're actually changing the backg ...
Google is done with green bubble vs blue bubble conversation.
The Verge· 2025-08-20 17:54
The green blue bubble battle is silly and it's tired. And at Google, we're done with that conversation. Yeah.RCS simply means there's now one text standard for all. And what you should know is Android has been using RCS for many, many, many years, but Apple recently adopted it as well. And so what does that mean.It means that now when you're chatting with your friends, you can say goodbye to blurry photos and videos. You can react with all your cute emojis to the text messages. And finally, the group chat i ...

We got to see the Google's Pixel Watch 4 in person and it’s coming with quite a few updates.
The Verge· 2025-08-20 17:02
We just got a look at the Google Pixel Watch 4. There's a ton of updates. So, let's just dive right in.First off, there's a new domed display, which means the display under the glass is also domed. And basically, you get about 15% thinner bezels and 10% more screen space. Where OS 6 also adds material 3 expressive, and I kind of dig the way the rounded edges really emphasize the round display.No squirrels here, folks. Battery life is better than last year, and it charges about 25% faster, too. You can go fr ...
Pixel 10 and Pro Fold hands-on: updates you can’t see
The Verge· 2025-08-20 16:00
[Music] So, these phones might look familiar. They look a lot like last year's phones. I'm talking about the Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, the 10 Pro XL, and the 10 Pro Fold.But there's actually a lot to talk about, even if you can't really see the difference from the outside. Some of the changes are like Gemini updates that are just floating around the UI and one of them is inside the phone. So, we definitely didn't see that.They might be look alikes from the outside, but hang tight cuz we have a lot to talk ...
Pixel Watch 4 hands-on: Can Google take the lead in wearables?
The Verge· 2025-08-20 16:00
Do you guys remember the first Pixel Watch back in 2022. I know, I know. I promise this is a video about the Pixel Watch 4, but I'm bringing up the OG Pixel Watch for a very good reason because I almost can't believe how far Google's come in such a short amount of time.That original Pixel Watch had thick bezels, battery life was not great, and it just had a lot of firstgen quirks and growing pains to overcome. But fast forward to 2025 and with the Pixel Watch 4, it sort of feels like Google starting to, dar ...

Look, it made a chess board. Can you see this. It made a chess board and it worked.I'm like, "Hey, this is pretty good. This is not so bad."

What's that in my eye. It's video from a drone like none I've ever tried. I'm flying straight forward, but I can look around cuz this drone is a 360° camera with omnidirectional filming.Want to check out some birds. I wasn't even watching them that day, but now I can rotate and zoom to show you the whole flock. Again, I'm just flying forward, but we can follow them with our eye, look at their perches, watch them fly as we pass, or check out these sharp rocks below.And this isn't DJI. Today, I'm toying with ...
