Google makes it easier to delete your contact information from Search results

Google is launching a new feature to help you find and delete your contact information from its Search results. The company will now alert you when it detects your address, phone number, or email on the web. It will then let you review and request to remove that information from Search.

You can access this feature from Google’s “results about you” dashboard on mobile and web, which it introduced last September. With the update, you can enter your personal information, and the dashboard will automatically show you websites with matches. It allows you to check each webpage it appears on and then ask to remove it. This move is a significant improvement, as Google used to require you to look for your personal information yourself and then manually ask for its removal.

Aside from testing live videos in Shorts, YouTube is rolling out new features to help you make Shorts videos easily and creatively. One of the features, currently in testing, allows you to transform a horizontal YouTube clip into a vertical Short by zooming and cropping the original video.

Another feature, called suggestions, helps you to replicate the audio and effect from a video you like. This is similar to how TikTok and Meta’s Reels let users reuse audio and effects from other videos. But YouTube’s version will also match the audio time stamp to the original clip.

Microsoft Loop is now available on the Microsoft Store

Microsoft's collaboration app is now out of preview and available on its app store. Microsoft Loop allows you to organize your content from different Microsoft 365 apps into workspaces and pages. Based on the screenshots, it reminds me a bit of Notion.

Microsoft Loop has what it calls components, which are the content you place within a project. You can share these components with other people. It means you don't have to share an entire workspace or project if you don't want. Initially, this app was only available for work accounts. But now, it gained support for personal accounts on Android and iOS.
