Microsoft Office for iPad to get iPad trackpad, mouse support

Microsoft will make it easier to use Office for iPad by adding iPadOS trackpad and mouse support. This feature will be coming to the unified Office for iPad in the fall. But it might make its way sooner than that. Or at least we're hoping it does. Microsoft is quick to introduce new features to its iOS apps, so we wouldn't be surprised to get this sooner instead of later. And the touchpad support is expected to come to individual Word, Excel, PowerPoint apps, too.

The special interactive Google Doodle for Mother's Day wants you to get a bit creative by letting you create a virtual card for your mom or any mother figure in your life.

It gives you a bunch of design ideas you and your kids can play around with, and then you can send this off to your mom, who can access a link to the animated card. So, if you want to give your mom something else this Mother's Day, it's time to Google Doodle away.

Google Duo to bring group calls to the web

Google Duo's group calls used to be limited to the Android and iOS apps, but an upcoming update will finally bring the feature to the web. The company also plans to expand the number of people that can join calls from 12 to 32. The update will also feature the new layout with the six-person square grid and a scrolling loop of other callers. The app is also getting link sharing, which means you can add people into a conversation via a link as long as they have a Google account. You no longer have to invite every contact ahead of time. 

Google Duo is also getting a new family mode, which adds fun features such as doodling, effects, and masks. It works on group calls and one-on-one conversations, too. And to prevent any accidental disconnections, you can hide the mute and end call buttons while using family mode.
