Microsoft Windows 10 Mail and Calendar will get Gmail support

When it comes to the more advanced features on Windows 10 Mail and Calendar, Microsoft is bringing Google users into its fold with its new update. The tech company is rolling out support first to Windows Insiders first. It won’t be coming in one fell swoop, too. If you’re excited to get support, you might or might not get it immediately.

The update will bring some important features to Google users, though. These include Focused Inbox, which automatically detects important emails from your inbox and shows you these first. Aside from that, users will also get travel reservation reminders and package tracking in the Calendar app. These features were previously limited to Outlook.com and Office 365 accounts. To get these features, though, you will need to sync your email, contacts, and calendars to Microsoft’s servers—in case you were concerned about this. But any changes you make to your Gmail account on Windows 10 and Calendar will sync with your Google account. So, if you’re looking for a viable desktop email client, Microsoft is making a case for that.

Samsung will be releasing an update for the Galaxy S8 to get rid of red screens

Some Samsung Galaxy S8 have been riddled with red-tinted displays. And while Samsung announced a manual fix for it (Settings > Display > Screen Mode > Color Balance), it doesn’t seem to work for everyone. That’s why the South Korean company announced it’ll be releasing a software update next week to expand the color range of the smartphone so you can make the red color lower than what they’re able to do at the moment.

While Samsung is fixing the device, it isn’t quick to blame the phone just yet. According to The Korean Herald, Samsung said, “We will upgrade the software because of some dissatisfied customers although there is no problem in the phone itself.”

Get Instagram photo backgrounds on your Michael Kors smartwatch

In a couple of days, the My Social app for Michael Kors will let you use photos from your Instagram feed to become your watch face. That is, if you own one of the brand’s Access watches, specifically the Dylan and Bradshaw models.  The app will be coming to these smartwatches via an over-the-air update on April 25^th. The video above shows just how you can make the change. You just need to sign into your profile, select the photo you want to use and the filter for it, and then select the watch style.

There’s no word yet if they plan to integrate other social networks into the app or if more models will be added. It makes sense to start with Instagram though as the app has visually stunning images with some users opting to use the service as a visual portfolio of sorts.
