Shazam gives new Apple Music subscribers 6-month free trial

If you wanted to check out Apple Music, now might be the best time for iOS users. Apple is extending its usual three-month subscription to a six-month one. But there's a catch; you'll need to sign up through music discovery app, Shazam. Open the said app, and then head to the Library section. The offer should be available there. Unfortunately, the same offer doesn't seem to be available for Shazam Android users.

Google Photos will now let you manually tag people in images

Google Photos is rolling out the ability for you to tag someone in a photograph manually. The app already can recognize and sort people in photos, but now, if it misses someone, you can fix it yourself. The catch is it won't just let you tag any person in the photo willy-nilly. Google Photos needs to detect that there is a face there first. If it spots someone, then you're good to go. But sometimes it won't recognize faces that are slightly turned or blurry. Android Police has a comprehensive guide on how to use this new feature.

If the feature hasn't made its way to you yet, you might need to wait for a bit. The update seems to be part of a slow rollout. 

Twitter pauses plan to remove inactive accounts

Twitter announced a few days ago that it planned to get rid of accounts that were inactive for over six months. But the social network is putting a pause to that plan until it can figure out how it can preserve accounts of people who've died. Twitter acknowledged that this oversight was "a miss on our part" and that it won't be removing any inactive accounts until they find a way to memorialize accounts. We assume the December 11 deadline Twitter set will be pushed back.

What was also not clear during the initial announcement was Twitter planned to start removing accounts in the EU, because of General Data Protection Regulation rules. But the company plans to bring it to other countries eventually. And when they do, this move will free up usernames of dormant accounts.

Fido's $35 'Talk and Text' BYOD plan reportedly gets 250MB of data

Fido reportedly adds on 250MB of data to its $35 "Talk and Text" plan, at least according to documentation spotted by iPhone in Canada. The change hasn't been detected on Fido's site yet. The monthly plan includes unlimited calling and international SMS and MMS. But now, if this is true, then there's just a bit of data added, too.
