Office 365 and OneDrive for iOS now support drag and drop functionality

iOS on the iPad is getting a productivity boost thanks to Microsoft who has enabled support for drag and drop functionality in the iPad and the Files app in iOS 11. This approximates functionality on PCs and Macs and makes it easier for users to interact with files and data.

We can now use drag and drop on iPad to drag content into documents, presentations, and spreadsheets from other Office apps or OneDrive. Drag and drop files to and from OneDrive and other sources—such as SharePoint or iMessage.

OneDrive for iOS now natively supports the Files app in iOS 11. Upload, access, edit, and save content to OneDrive or SharePoint from any iOS app. A big one is the ability to co-author in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for iOS and Mac.

Google might soon let you use custom hotwords to launch Google Assistant

If you don’t quite feel like saying “Hey Google” or “Ok Google” to activate Google Assistant, you might not need to do so in the future. 9to5Google found some code in the latest Google app update that seem to be laying groundwork for being able to use custom hotwords to activate the AI assistant. The code shows how you can create a new custom hotword and teach Google Assistant to recognize it. The original two hotwords will still work even with the new addition. The feature hits Google’s mobile app first it seems but there is no word when it’ll come to Google products like the Home speaker. We’re confident we’ll hear more from Google when this gets official.

OnePlus releases OxygenOS Open Beta 3 for the 5T, introduces iPhone X-like gestures and removes Clipboard

The latest beta build for the OnePlus 5T brings some important new features to the device. One addresses the controversial issue surrounding the Clipboard functionality of the phone. The Chinese company simply took out the feature, which they say they’ve done based on user feedback. Aside from this, OxygenOS Open Beta 3 introduces new navigation gestures that are reminiscent of the iPhone X’s. You can activate these through Settings and disabling the navigation bar. The Home button vanishes and you can swipe up from the middle part of the bottom of the display to access apps. You can go back by swiping up from the left or right bottom part of the screen. If you want to access the multitasking screen, you just swipe up from the middle and hold.

OnePlus has also included a security patch to get additional protection against Spectre vulnerability alongside other bug fixes and improvements. If you’re already using beta, the update should come to your device via an over-the-air update. If you want to try beta out, you’ll need to read flashing instructions from this link.
