Online shopping with Chrome across your devices just got easier

You don’t have to be tied to Chrome on your desktop to shop with ease now. If you saved your payment information with Chrome, then you can access this on any device you have Chrome on. You’ll be prompted to use saved payment information when filling out a checkout form. To use this feature, you don’t need to have Chrome Sync turned on (it also won’t turn Sync on for you). As long as you’re logged into your Google account and buying from a place that supports Google Play, it can pull up your saved credit or debit card information. As a precaution, it’ll still ask you to confirm your card’s CVC when you checkout. You also have the option to add a new payment method to your account, which Google with confirm through an email. You can also save a payment method locally by pulling up Chrome Settings > Payment Methods > Add. This will be useful if you want your payment information saved on a single device.

Your Windows 10 machine can now show your Android phone notifications

The latest update to the Your Phone app will make it easier for you to see your Android phone notifications right from your Windows 10 PC or laptop. There doesn’t seem to be any restrictions over what notifications you’ll see—everything from emails to social media should show up. However, you can’t do quick replies just yet. To get this to work, you’ll need to have the April 2018 update of Windows 10 and the Your Phone app version you have is 1.19052.657.0. This feature is still rolling out, though, so if it doesn’t appear yet, just be patient.

OnePlus clarifies the random notifications some OnePlus 7 Pro users received

If you’re a OnePlus 7 Pro user and received a baffling notification on your phone, then you should know you’re not alone and it was a mistake. The company clarified that the push notification wasn’t a result of a hack or attack. Instead, it was an error on the company’s part as they’re testing the Android Q update that’s set to be released later this year. OnePlus assures its users that their personal information wasn’t at risk and the company is implementing new processes to prevent this issue from happening again. The notifications the users got were jumbled up English letters and non-standard characters. When the notification is pressed, it would open up the web browser and show a “Page not found” message.

Samsung reportedly fixes issues with the Galaxy Fold’s screen

The wait for Samsung’s Galaxy Fold might soon be over. According to a report from Bloomberg, the company has supposedly fixed the issues plaguing the company’s first foldable device. According to people familiar with the matter, the phone is now in the final stages of producing the commercial version. The company has wrapped the protective film around the entire display and into the outer bezels of the device, which should prevent people from peeling the film off and rendering the device useless. Some reviewers of the Galaxy Fold learned the hard way that the film wasn’t supposed to be peeled off. Samsung has reportedly pushed the hinge slightly upward to have it flushed against the display. This should stretch the film further when the display is opened.

We’re not sure if Samsung addressed the other issues that journalists ran into with the Galaxy Fold. But we’re assuming that it has. This means it’ll be ready ahead of the holiday season. However, it seems the device won’t be ready by the August 7^th event for the Galaxy Note 10.
