If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy device and you’ve been waiting to get your hands on Android’s latest operating system, then you’re in for a bit more wait. Vincent Se Young Lee, a Reuters reporter based in Seoul, said Samsung has confirmed they plan to release Android Lollipop for their latest devices like Galaxy S5 LTE-A, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, and Galaxy Note 4 before early 2015. It is a rather vague timeline so you shouldn’t expect it to land on your new Galaxy smartphone/phablet any time soon.

Wickr is moving beyond its iOS and Android apps to bring its highly-secure features to the desktop. The Wickr app is now available for Windows Linux, and OS X. It also has the same self-destruct option for text, images, and videos. And they use multi-layer encryption with AES256 and EDH521 that are not stored on any servers. The desktop versions also take out the metadata and your devices only have the key to read the messages sent to you. You can set a time limit for individual messages as well as wipe them completely from your device. And yes, it will let you chat with 10 people at once, ad-free and it doesn’t track you. It is surely a great option if you want to keep your correspondence with your friends and family just between you guys.

It was bound to happen. YouTube is joining the fray of other Google apps to get the Material Design treatment. Not much has changed when it comes to functionality though. What we get is a new red design on top for the homepages main colour but it also pulls colours from individual channels so when you visit one it pulls colors from the page. The update should be coming to your device soon. Just wait for a bit.
