If you use emojis to react to messages at work, you can now do that with Google Docs. When you highlight the text you're commenting on, you can now “Add comment,” “Suggest edits,” or “Add emoji reactions.” There is now a new button on the bottom-right corner that gives you the picker for emojis. If someone left an emoji you agree with, you can just tap the emoji to add on. This feature is rolling out on the web in the coming weeks.

Apple is reportedly looking to bring back a bit of its old Glances feature

Apple might be ready to overhaul watchOS. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports the company is working on redesigning the Apple Watch user interface, making widgets a "central part" of how you will interact with the smartwatch. Gurman reports that Apple plans to bring back elements of the Glances system it introduced in the original watchOS while borrowing the "style" of widgets Apple introduced with iOS 14 last year.

Gurman describes that the new interface will be "reminiscent" of the Siri watch face introduced with watchOS 4 in 2017. But the functions will work as an overlay for whatever watch face you want to use. It works similarly to widget stacks on iOS, so you can scroll through widgets you've placed on top of one another.

Aside from the rumoured Google Pixel Fold, the Google Pixel 7a is expected to debut at Google I/O 2023. And with it, a new colour option will be available: a coral shade. It's reminiscent of the Oh So Orange colourway for the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 6's Kinda Coral. Evan Blass has also shared this render with the orange shade dominating the back of the phone. Its camera bar gets a slightly lighter shade to distinguish it from the rest of the body.

If the leaks are accurate, this would be the first time Google offers the Pixel in four color options: white, black/grey, sky blue, and coral. Reports say the coral variant will be exclusively available at the Google Store.
