One of the upgrades included in the latest Pixel feature drop will come in handy for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users. The smartphones are inheriting the Pixel 7's improved Night Sight. This will make the feature run a couple of seconds faster than it has before. It might not seem much, but that will make it easier to capture photos in low-light situations. The improvement is possible thanks to "new algorithms powered by Google Tensor."

Meta to kill off NFT support on Facebook, Instagram

Meta is ending its support for NFTs on both Facebook and Instagram. The move comes less than a year since it pushed to adopt these "digital collectibles" across the platform. This update comes as the social network laid off thousands of workers and shuttered numerous projects. It wasn't elaborated on why Meta is reversing course on NFTs, but it hasn't been the only product or initiative that the company has shuttered.

“We’re winding down digital collectibles (NFTs) for now to focus on other ways to support creators, people, and businesses,” Stephane Kasriel, Meta’s Head of Commerce and Financial Technologies wrote in an update shared on Twitter. “We learned a ton that we’ll be able to apply to products we’re continuing to build to support creators, people, and businesses on our apps, both today and in the metaverse.” In its place, the company would be focusing on “monetization opps for Reels” and “messaging payments across Meta.”

Google Pixel's Magic Eraser feature comes to more devices

As announced last month, Google is bringing some of its newer Pixel features to more devices. One of the notable rollouts is its Magic Eraser tool. The feature can digitally take out unwanted objects (or even people) in photos to get you the look you want. It launched on the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro and came to last year's Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, which made us believe it was only available on phones running on Google's Tensor chipset.

But Google has started to roll it out to older Pixel devices, and those with Google One subscriptions on Android and iOS can access it, too. Your phone needs at least 3GB of RAM and runs on Android 8.0 or iOS 15.0 or later.
