Canadian Apple Watch Series 4 owners can now use the ECG app, get irregular heart rhythm notification

Here’s some great news for Apple Watch Series 4 owners. You can now use the ECG app and get irregular heart rhythm notifications as part of the free watchOS 5.3 update. Apple has received a Medical Device License from Health Canada for these two features. You can now take an electrocardiogram right from your wrist. This Apple Watch model can capture your heart’s rhythm in a moment when you experience symptoms like a rapid or skipped heartbeat. This in turn helps provide critical data for physicians. At the same time, the Apple Watch can now occasionally check heart rhythm in the background and send a notification if an irregular heart rhythm that appears to be atrial fibrillation is identified. watchOS 5.3 update is now available for download.

Google Photos on Android gets live video preview

Google Photos is making it easier to look for a video clip you need with its latest update. Version 4.20 of the Android app will automatically play back a video as you scroll through the main Photos tab. These clips have a white play icon and clip length at the top-right corner of the thumbnails. Google Photos will run through the entire recording without audio, and it’ll loop the video if you keep it in view. If there are multiple videos side-by-side, Google Photos will preview these in reverse chronological order. The feature is available in both the Month and Comfortable view options.

This feature isn’t limited to local content either. Those that are backed up to the cloud from other devices will get this option, too. However, it isn’t available in the search screens or in the album portion. This feature isn’t available on iOS yet and the web version only gives you a preview if you hover your mouse over a clip.

It seems like a dig at 20th Century Fox for not being able to successfully bring the Fantastic Four to the big screen. But Marvel Studios' head Kevin Feige also seems like he's making a promise to fans who have been clamoring for the longest time to see these heroes get an MCU treatment. While speaking to Variety at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Feige answered when asked about their plans for the characters, "All of that is spoilers, but I'm extremely excited about those characters, and about bringing Marvel's first family up to the sort of platform and level they deserve." Feige didn't specifically say when we can expect a Fantastic Four film (or maybe even series), but just acknowledging it now makes us excited.

New Google Pixel 4 leak fuels hand gesture control rumours

With the number of sensors adorning the front of the Google Pixel 4, it comes as no surprise why the notched display might be disappearing for this version of the Pixel. The newest leaked photos obtained by Ice Universe show the detached bezels of both the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. Both feature a large ovoid hole on the right side of the phone that hasn’t been accounted for in the past. This makes us believe that the said space is for the Project Soli radar, which would allow gesture control for this phone. The other holes are said to be for things like dual selfie cameras, central speaker, and face recognition or depth sensor. For now, as with any other leak, we still have to take this information with a grain of salt.
