CapCut to bring video and image editing tools to Google Gemini

Google, ByteDance

You'll soon be able to use CapCut's video and photo editing features in Google Gemini. At least, that's what CapCut is promising with its new collaboration with Google. The companies haven't provided details on how a CapCut integration in Gemini will work. For now, all we know is that the Gemini app will be gaining access to CapCut features soon.

Some questions the partnership raises include what editing tools would be available, to what extent and whether you would need an active subscription on both or either service.

Google introduces an anti-doomscroll feature on Android

Google

A new Android feature called Pause Point hopes to help you stay off apps you find "distracting" or those that make it easy to doomscroll. When you indicate or label an app as distracting, Pause Point will require you to pause for 10 seconds each time you open the app to help deter mindless scrolling (if that's why you wanted to open it in the first place).

Aside from trying to dissuade you from doomscrolling, Pause Point can even be set to suggest other "healthier" alternatives, like your favourite fitness or audiobook apps, your favourite photos or even a simple breathing exercise. Pause Point requires you to restart your phone to turn the feature off, adding an extra resistance layer for getting into these distracting apps.

Insta360 Retro Viewfinder brings an old-school feel to the modern action cam

Insta360

The tiny Insta360 GO 3S will now work with an old tech-inspired accessory. The Insta360 Retro Viewfinder lets you pop in your Go 3S and frame your shots the "old school" way with its passive optical viewfinder. Without the digital screens, it forces you to shoot from the hip or chest and adopt a more "point-and-shoot mentality," as the company puts it.

That said, the Retro Viewfinder doesn't fully strip away the convenient digital features. By tapping on the case's custom NFC skin, you can change settings or see a live preview of what's happening on your phone. It'll bring you to the Insta360 app so you can make the changes you want.
