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.
