The feature is part of the Data Transfer Project, which is an agreement between Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter to allow easy, bulk transfers between services. Facebook intends to roll out the feature globally in the first half of 2020.

Google Photos lets you share one-off photos easily in its app

It's now easier to share individual pictures on Google Photos. If you want to share a specific photograph, you can do so in a private chat within the app. It will also let you comment and like photos in the conversation and even save what has been shared into your gallery.

It isn't meant to take the place of other chat apps, but Google hopes to make it easier to share images and videos within its app. The feature is rolling out gradually over the coming week on mobile (Android and iOS) and through the web.

Netflix tests shuffle button, ability to remove a show/movie from 'Continue Watching'

Netflix is testing out some new features for its Android app that might be useful for you. One is being able to shuffle TV show episodes. Another is letting you take out shows and movies from your Continue Watching row. There's a new three-button overflow menu that replaces the information button. When you tap on that, there are options for play, information/episodes, as well as options for rating, sharing or seeing similar content. As we mentioned, a new "Remove from Row" feature that lets you take out the show from your Continue Watching section. The only way to do that now is through heading into your account settings on the web. Here's to hoping Netflix decides to roll these features out to all its users.
