Google Assistant routines can now be placed on your homescreen

A new update to Google Assistant will allow you to put your routine shortcuts on your homescreen. According to 9to5Google, the feature is rolling out to more users. The option "Add Routines to your Home screen" will appear when you edit any routine. There will be a small pop-up that will show up when it happens for the first time. 

The move seems like a way to appease any complaints from Google moving the ability to trigger routines from the primary set of action buttons in the Home app to a more extensive menu. That redesign made it more troublesome to access these features. But with this new option, it will be much easier to get to the routines you need.

'Destiny 2' to get crossplay support in 2021

Destiny 2 has just arrived on the next-generation Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S consoles. Now, we learn from Bungie that cross-platform play support will be coming sometime in 2021. The developer has been slowly adding cross-platform features since last year. There's already cross-save support, and now Xbox One owners can play with Xbox Series X/S. 

But Bungie hasn't fully brought crossplay yet. But that will be coming in the new year. The game is now available on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Stadia. There is one issue the developer still has to deal with, too. Destiny 2's PvP play has been rife with cheating, and gamers are not amused.
