Threads introduced ‘Tags’, to organize posts by topics
Meta is actively rolling out a new update for its multiple social media applications. Like earlier, we covered some new features coming to Messenger. Now it’s time for threads, which is getting a new feature of tags, which provide users with the ability to organize posts by topic.
In today’s official post, it said that Threads users will soon get a new feature for ‘Tags’ which will provide the facility to categorize a post and make them highlight along with the post with similar topics. The functionality of tags is pretty much similar to that of hashtags, but they will also create different impacts.

With ‘Tags’ Meta has limited the topic to be tagged as single, and by following this strategy, the company is making the post available to those people who are interested in a particular category of content. This solves the problem of reaching irrelevant content to users and makes the algorithm more clean.
Along with this, the company has also brought the tag a new appearance; instead of using the # with topics, it will highlight it with a blue color similar to the simplified hyperlink text. However, when you are creating the post, you have to use # before the topic, but after publishing, they are removed.
As far as the availability of new changes is concerned, it is expected that you will get the feature automatically from the server side in a few hours, but if you haven’t updated the application for a long time, then first update it to the latest version and then try to use it.
Google’s developers are releasing an update for its Android Auto app with great constancy. After providing stable version 11.8, there is a new beta ready to test.
Google released Android Auto 11.9 Beta Update
This new Android Auto 11.9 beta build landed online a few hours ago, allowing users to test its features before the public rollout begins.
The latest Android Auto 11.9 beta is ready to download for all users who have registered for it. However, the update rarely brings significant changes from the previous updates. The mMountainvViewgiant didn’t offer the changelogs for the Android Auto updates, so the only way to find out what’s new in version 11.9 is to install it on your device and look for changes.
In the previous Android Auto 11.8 update, the redesigned Settings menu began rolling out to users. Installing Android Auto 11.9 beta doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the new Settings interface today, but it is required once Google enables the server-side update on your device.
Keep in mind that Android Auto 11.9 is still in the beta stage. As a result, you may encounter bugs and issues after installing it. As a result, you might experience crashes or other issues while using this beta version.
Google’s Gemini AI adds a new convenient and awaited functionality to the Gmail app for Android: the ability to summarize emails.
The previous reports have already revealed that the Gmail app for Android devices is going to have the ability to summarize emails using Google’s Gemini AI. Now, recent reports are revealing that this feature is close to launch.
A colleague Android Authority contributor and reliable cose sleuth Assemble Debug managed to activate the feature on version 2024.04.21.626860299 of the Gmail app. Google has not yet widely rolled out the feature, but we expect it to happen soon.
Expectations are that Google will formally announce the feature at the upcoming I/O 2024 event, along with many other announcements about the upcoming iteration, including the launch of the Pixel 8a.
Once the brand officially rolls out this feature, you will see a “Summarize this email” button under the subject line of their emails. If you hit the button, it will generate a quick summary of the email. This feature should be especially convenient for lengthy emails with lots of text and other details.
You will also have the power to rate the quality of the summary by tapping the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons under the summarized text. Probably, this will help Google improve Gemini’s summarizing capabilities. It will also offer a button to copy the summary to the clipboard.
Recently, Samsung has introduced several updates to its application to provide new experiences to its users. For instance, it has provided a new update for QuickShare connectivity and several Good Lock modules. Now, the company has started rolling out the update for the voice recorder.
Samsugn has rolled out a new update for the Voice Recorder application, which comes with version number 21.5.12.02. According to the changelog, the latest update for voice recorders is coming, which will improve the functionality of various functionalities. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t shared details about it. However, since the company introduced the transcribe ability for users with the One UI 6.1, it is possible that the company will improve this ability with this update.
But one thing is certain: if you are experiencing any issues while using any of the features, you should upgrade to the most recent version. To do that, you just need to go to the Galaxy Store and search for the voice recorder. Users can also sidelog the latest version of the application from external sources.
