Skip video chapters on YouTube for Android with a two-finger double-tap 

It's now much easier to jump to and from video chapters on YouTube. The Android version of the app has a new two-finger double-tap gesture that lets you move forward or backward on a video you're watching. You can double-tap on the left side to go to a previous chapter or double-tap on the right to go to the next one. We aren't sure if this is rolling out to all devices yet, but we've tried it on a OnePlus 9, and it worked just fine.

Google One's mobile VPN feature comes to Canada

If you subscribe to the 2TB plan or higher Google One plan, you get access to Google's mobile VPN, at least if you're in the US. But now, Google is bringing this feature to Canada, Mexico, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The VPN is baked into the Google One app, and Android users can get their info encrypted and protected no matter what app you're using. 

Since its launch, Google's VPN has gotten some new features, like blocking internet traffic when the VPN is inactive. You can also bypass the VPN in some situations or with specific apps, and you can set timed controls for when you want to be free from the VPN. If you aren't sure how to use this and set it up, you can schedule a Pro Session for an expert to coach you through the basics.

Apple Music's app for artists get Shareable Milestones

Musicians who want to share their milestones on Apple Music can now do just that. The Apple Music for Artists app gets Shareable Milestones, which they can share on social media with their fans. The app can generate automatic milestones, including new highs and all-time bests across Plays and Shazams and inclusion in Apple Music's curated playlists. 

These images will be viewable on their iOS overview page, and they can be shared on different social media sites. This feature is limited to artists right now. We don't know if Apple plans to give its regular users access to this feature.
