Tinder removes Google Play payments for its Android app

Tinder users on Android who want to subscribe to its premium services will no longer have their payments processed through the Play Store. Tinder users will now need to enter their credit card information directly into the app. And according to rumours, this is because Tinder’s owner Match Group isn’t happy with the high percentage Google is taking from its revenue. Google takes as much as 30 percent of the revenue if you use its payment system. Tinder is almost always in the top ten of the money-making apps on the Play Store that aren’t in the gaming category.

And while Tinder pulling out might not affect Google’s overall revenue, it could set a bad precedent and entice other high-earning apps to do the same. One company who’s pulled this move is Epic Games. The company behind smash-hit game Fortnite made headlines when it decided to side-step the Google Play Store entirely for the Android version of the game.

Microsoft introduces Fluent design to the iOS version of OneDrive

After extending its Fluent design to OneDrive web app, Microsoft is now bringing this design element to OneDrive’s iOS app. It now has a bold new header that has a splash of blue, aligning it with the Outlook mobile app. Font sizes and colors have been adjusted in the Files list to make it easier to read. Microsoft Search is now part of the app to help you find files faster. It’s now easier to edit PDFs with pens, highlighters, and the eraser at the bottom of the screen. You can create and customize Notes much easily. The command sheet, which you can access from the “…” icon has a softer look and a draggable surface. The Recent Files section also makes its way to both iOS and Android apps. Android is expected to get these features in the coming months.

If this rumour pans out, it looks like Marvel hasn’t forgotten about the other guy who has donned the Iron Man suit, War Machine. His story will reportedly be told through a miniseries on Disney’s upcoming streaming service. But it’s said that this story is still in its early development stage, so we might have a bit of a wait until we get any confirmation. It’s expected that Don Cheadle will reprise his role as Col. James Rhodes. The confirmed Disney+ shows we have at this moment include WandaVision, Loki, and Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Perhaps we’ll hear more about this at Marvel’s upcoming panel at SDCC 2019.
