Google enables Bluetooth streaming for Home speaker

After making the announcement at Google I/O in May, Google is finally ready to roll out a much needed feature: Bluetooth streaming support. Your Google Home speaker can now be used as an actual speaker that streams content from your other devices. It won’t just rely on the supported music services now with this new addition.

Google is gradually rolling out this update to users so you may or may not have access to this just yet. Once you do though, you can just head over to the Home app and look for the “Paired Bluetooth devices” under settings to pair your selected device. It must be noted though that some users are currently reporting audio issues, such as lag and low voices, at the moment. But we’re sure Google is working on that—or at least we hope they are.

Google adds video previews in Search for Android smartphones

With people consuming more and more videos on the internet, we’re not surprised Google is releasing something related to this. If you do search on your Android via Google app or Chrome on Android, there will now be video previews on top of the search results. Much like GIF-like teasers released for YouTube desktop users, there will now be clip snippets showing up to help you find what you’re looking for quickly. Don’t worry about using up your data, the feature will only work on Wi-Fi. Google started rolling the feature out on Friday and will be coming to more users next week.

There will be no DLC for ‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’

Plagued with various problems from the development phase to its launch, Mass Effect: Andromeda is being abandoned of sorts by BioWare. Five months after the game was released, the studio announced it won’t be releasing any new downloadable content for the game. In their announcement they say, “Our last update, 1.10, was the final update for Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are no planned future patches for single-player or in-game story content.” The only part of the game that might get some tweaks is in multiplayer content, including plans for N7 Day, which is coming in a few weeks.
