YouTube's mobile video editor is coming to iOS
Ammon News - Google is preparing to bring YouTube Create to iOS devices nearly two years after the video editing app launched exclusively on Android. Job listings reviewed by TechCrunch reveal the company is actively hiring engineers in India for the iOS development project.
The job postings show Google is recruiting software engineers in Bengaluru specifically to build the iOS version. The original Android app debuted in the U.S. and seven other markets in September 2023, then expanded to 13 more markets by February 2024.

Berlin Urges Apple and Google to Remove DeepSeek Over Data Privacy Concerns - Jordan News
Berlin Urges Apple and Google to Remove DeepSeek Over Data Privacy Concerns Germany's top data protection authority has officially requested Apple and Google to remove the AI app DeepSeek from their respective app stores, citing unlawful data transfers to China and potential state surveillance. اضافة اعلان DeepSeek recently soared to become the top free app on the U.S. App Store, overtaking ChatGPT. However, scrutiny quickly followed after it was revealed that DeepSeek's answers are censored when questions may reflect poorly on the Chinese government. Moreover, the app's privacy policy states that user data, including queries and uploaded files, are stored on servers located in China. According to PhoneArena, Chinese intelligence laws allow the government to access these servers, heightening concerns among European regulators. German Data Protection Commissioner Maike Kamp said her office contacted Apple and Google, urging them to delist the app due to 'illegal transfer of personal data outside the EU.' DeepSeek has already been banned from app stores in Italy and South Korea, and removed from government devices in the Netherlands. In Germany, Apple and Google are now reviewing the request but no deadline has been set for a final decision. Regulatory concern intensified after a Reuters investigation alleged that DeepSeek provides support to Chinese military and intelligence operations. Kamp stated that DeepSeek was previously given the chance in May to comply with EU data transfer rules or voluntarily withdraw the app—but the company did not respond. Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers are preparing legislation to ban government agencies from using AI models developed in China, including DeepSeek. However, the app is still available to the general public via the iOS App Store and Google Play in the U.S. This escalating backlash may set the stage for broader restrictions on AI platforms linked to authoritarian regimes, especially those with opaque data practices and national security implications.

Gmail for Android starts rolling out ‘mark as read' button
Ammon News - Google is making a notable quality-of-life improvement to Gmail notifications by adding a 'Mark as read' button on Android. To date, Gmail for Android notifications let you 'Reply' and pick between 'Archive' or 'Delete' (Settings > General settings > Default notification action). Some Gmail users (via Android Authority) are beginning to see a new 'Mark as read' option that appears first in the row of actions. Immediate access to this from notifications provide a convenient way to triage email without opening the actual app. It's less drastic an action compared to archiving and removing from your inbox entirely. So far, there are only two reports of this server-side rollout in the past week. It's not available on devices we checked today. Historically, Gmail takes quite a bit of time to widely roll out features.

Meta reportedly hires four more researchers from OpenAI
Ammon News - Looks like Meta isn't done poaching talent from OpenAI. Earlier this week, TechCrunch reported that Meta had hired influential OpenAI researcher Trapit Bansal, and according to The Wall Street Journal, it also hired three other researchers from the company. Now The Information is reporting four more Meta hires from OpenAI: Researchers Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren. This hiring spree comes after the April launch of Meta's Llama 4 AI models, which reportedly did not perform as well as CEO Mark Zuckerberg had hoped. (The company was also criticized over the version of Llama that it used for a popular benchmark.) There's been some back-and-forth between the two companies, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggesting that Meta was offering '$100 million signing bonuses' while adding that 'so far, none of our best people' have left. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth then told employees that while senior leaders may have been offered that kind of money, 'the actual terms of the offer' were more complex than a simple one-time signing bonus.
