Fossil won't upgrade existing smartwatches to new Wear OS

Fossil has no plans to upgrade its current lineup of smartwatches to Google and Samsung's upcoming Wear platform. Instead, it will discount these devices while also releasing a new premium watch with "pretty major hardware upgrades." You can expect faster performance, new processors, longer battery life, and LTE options. According to Fossil's Greg McKelvey, this Gen 6 watch will have "all of the software benefits that Google's been talking about and launching with the unified platform."

Google Photos for Android makes Markup tools more visible

Google Photos is rolling out an update that allows you to see Markup tools more easily in the Google Photos editor user interface. These tools are for drawing and adding text to pictures/screenshots. They were previously kept in the More tab where you can also see the third-party image editors and all the tools available to the editor. But now features like Pen, Highlighter, and Text get their own section between Filters and More.
