Google Photos debuts redesigned editor with new AI tools
Google is celebrating 10 years of Google Photos with the launch of a redesigned editor. The redesign adds new AI features, Reimagine and Auto Frame, which were previously only available on Pixel devices, bringing the tools into the hands of more users. The Reimagine feature uses generative AI to transform objects and backgrounds in photos with text prompts. For example, you could ask to replace a gloomy sky in one of your photos with "clear blue skies." The Auto Frame feature suggests different ways to frame a photo, whether it's by cropping, widening, or using generative AI to fill in the blank spaces. Google says the new editor gives users helpful suggestions and puts all its editing tools in one place. You can use AI-powered suggestions that combine multiple effects for quick edits with the new "AI Enhance" option. For example, you could combine AI effects like image sharpening and object removal. Or, you can tap specific parts of a photo to get suggested tools for editing that area. For example, Google may suggest that you adjust the lighting or blur the background. Google notes the redesign will start rolling out globally to Android devices next month, with iOS following later this year. The tech giant also announced that you can now share albums with QR codes to make it easier for others around you to access an album. You could also print out the codes for a group event, where anyone with the code will be able to view and add photos to the album.

Tesla's iPhone app now supports Live Activities for Supercharging
Tesla's latest iOS app update allows users to view their car's Supercharging progress on their phone's lock screen, Not A Tesla App reports. The feature takes advantage of Apple's Live Activities feature, which gives apps the ability to display real-time updates on your lock screen, like showing your Uber is going to arrive, or when your ParkMobile parking meter is about to expire. In Tesla's case, it can keep you updated on the charging session and help alert you to move your car when it's done to avoid idle fees. The Supercharger live activity shows how much time is left in the session, your current charge percentage, an estimated cost, the charge speed, and how much energy you've added. Currently, it does not show up if you're charging at home or non-Supercharger stalls. Supercharger Live Activities is available now in the Tesla iOS app version 4.45.0 in the App Store. It's the latest major feature addition to the app since Tesla enabled Apple Watch digital key support last December. In addition to the iOS update, Tesla is also rolling out a new feature for some of their newer EVs that can alert owners if they've forgotten their kid in the car. The new 'Child Left Alone' feature is only coming to Europe for now, specifically to the new Model 3 (mid 2023 and later), which include in-cabin radars. The hardware currently can sense people in the front seats in lieu of needing seat sensors, but now it's looking in the back seat, too. Tesla says it will roll out to other models and regions 'later.'

WWDC 2025 — watchOS 12 and tvOS 19 both just tipped for major redesign
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We've heard plenty of rumors about iOS 19's upcoming design changes, but it sounds like Apple won't stop there. In fact, the new design could make its way to other Apple platforms, including tvOS and watchOS. This report comes from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, who says that the redesign won't be restricted to the three "main" Apple operating systems: iOS, iPadOS and macOS. It should instead be available elsewhere, to cover almost the entire Apple ecosystem as we know it. Gurman notes that the design is supposed to be inspired by visionOS, so there won't be such drastic changes to the mixed reality software. However, the upcoming visionOS 3 is said to be receiving "some adjustments" for areas where "changes make sense for a headset." Gurman also noted that Apple is looking for consistency across its devices, particularly with iPadOS and macOS. We had heard rumors that Apple was hoping to make iPads more like Macs with the launch of iPadOS 19, and a new Mac-like design would certainly help that. On top of that, iPads could be in line for improvements to multitasking, app window management and productivity. Not to mention a Mac-style menu bar that appears whenever an iPad is connected to one of Apple's Magic Keyboards. As someone who has had to work on an iPad on the go, I can attest to the fact that it's not a great experience. Certainly not on the cheaper models, which lack some of the premium flourishes available to the iPad Pro series. If Apple can offer a better and more laptop-like experience on its tablets, then that can only be a good thing, especially if you need to both work and travel light at the same time. Gurman mentions that the iOS 19 redesign is codenamed "Solarium," after the glass-walled rooms that allow more sunlight in. With that in mind, the rumors that design could be inspired by visionOS and its translucent interface make a lot of sense. He also claims that it's "clicker and more modern" than the current iteration of iOS. The change has also been referred to as the "most dramatic overhaul" in Apple's history, that is, "aiming to transform the interface of the iPhone, iPad and Mac for a new generation of users." Needless to say, the pressure is on for Apple to get things right. So let's hope that the controversial design leaks we've seen so far aren't quite as bad as what the internet first thought. We should see it all on show at WWDC 2025 in the next couple of weeks, so we don't have too long to wait. We're just weeks away from an iOS 19 preview — these are the 5 rumored changes I'm looking forward to Forget iPhone 17 — iPhone 18 tipped to hide Face ID below the screen Future iPhone could match this incredible Galaxy S25 Ultra feature — here's what we know

You can start testing Xbox's new Copilot chatbot in the mobile app right now
TL;DR Microsoft is rolling out a Copilot for Gaming beta to the Xbox app on Android and iOS. Players can ask the chatbot about the game they're playing, for help, for information about their play history, and more. The beta is currently available in English in 53 markets, including the US. It was only a matter of time, but Microsoft is now bringing Copilot to Xbox. The company is beginning to roll out a beta for Copilot for Gaming to the Xbox app on Android and iOS. If you have the beta version of the Xbox app installed on your phone, you can begin testing out this new feature starting today. Like any chatbot, Copilot for Gaming will allow you to ask various questions, providing answers, as well as links to more information if a response includes web sources. However, this chatbot is designed explicitly for answering your gaming-related queries. According to Microsoft, this early version of the AI can answer questions on the game you're playing, your Xbox activity, your account, and your play history and achievements. You'll also be able to use it to provide recommendations on what you should play next. To demonstrate what questions you could ask, Microsoft provided the following examples: If you want to ask questions about a specific game or the game you're currently playing. 'Hey Copilot, can you remind me what materials I need to craft a sword in Minecraft?' If you want game recommendations. 'I love horror movies. Any suggestions for what game I should play?' If you have a question about your play history or account. 'Hey Copilot, what's the rarest achievement you can get in Avowed?' While these will be Copilot for Gaming's initial capabilities, it will gain more functions at an unspecified later date. Microsoft says that it's working on bringing 'deeper personalization' and 'richer game assistance' like proactive coaching. If you're interested in trying out Copilot for Gaming, the early test is being rolled out in 53 markets, including the US, Japan, Canada, Australia, Argentina, and more. However, you'll need to be 18, and it's only available in English. You can download the Android version of the beta Xbox app on the Google Play Store. If you don't already have the beta version of the Xbox app on iOS, Microsoft says you'll still be able to get in on early testing when Copilot for Gaming comes to Game Bar on Windows PC. Got a tip?
