News & Reviews:   Google

For content creators on YouTube, the thing they always have to consider is how to grow their channel. Experienced creators will know what to do, but what about aspiring creators or relatively new ones? Well, YouTube wants to make things easier for these people too.

Recently, Google just released a new policy for its Google Play Store and it's a long one. However, one particular interesting change is that the platform will no longer allow any sugar dating apps starting on 1 September 2021.

The Pixel 6 series's launch is getting nearer as it's supposed to happen in September. We can't wait to see what Google has prepared for us this time around after seeing all the rumours hinting at a major change for the Pixel smartphones. During the quarterly earnings call, CEO Sundar Pichai briefly talked about Android 12 and upcoming products, and the words he used are making us more eager to find out what the company has in store.

If you watch a lot of YouTube, you may have noticed some of its new features. These were previously in a kind of soft launch, so not everyone could access them. But TeamYouTube has officially launched three of its new features.

During the pandemic, having online meetings is such a norm now that most of us have a Zoom and other video call app accounts by default. However, most of them aren't exactly free as there is only a limited amount of time to use as free members.

The Google Pixel 6 that is going to be launched later this year is rumoured to be the first Google smartphone that uses an in-house chipset. Earlier, it was also reported that Samsung would participate in the development of the chipset codenamed "Whitechapel". Due to the relationship, insiders are claiming that the chipset could also offer AMD's graphics.

Remember YouTube Shorts? YouTube has gradually rolled out its version of short-video format to many countries this year, so you've probably seen some Shorts on the platform. But for Malaysians who want to create these shorts yourselves, now you can!

As the COVID-19 virus is still actively roaming in Malaysia, our government continues to impose different types of MCO across the states. Not long ago, a good initiative called "Bendera Putih" was started by the people to help those who are struggling during the pandemic. All they need to do is to hang a white flag in front of their houses to call out for aid. Now, a group of students have joined forces in developing an app that lets users track the locations of homes with a white flag, plus the food banks.

Back in May, Google announced that it intended to revamp Wear OS. With the help of Fitbit and Samsung, Wear OS 3.0 is intended to be revolutionary. Surprisingly, we won't have to wait for Samsung to launch the Galaxy Watch 4 to get a glimpse of it. In fact, one aspect of it is already available.

For developers, getting apps approved for the Apple App Store can be tedious. It's not as bad for the Google Play Store, but that also means it's not as secure. In fact, Google had to remove a few apps for security reasons recently.
