Ariana Grande’s ‘thank u, next’ music video broke YouTube’s comment section

When Ariana Grande premiered her music video for “thank u, next” it became such a big thing that at one point it hit 829,000 concurrent viewers, making a record for Premieres on YouTube. But that isn’t the only record the video broke. According to a tweet from Team YouTube, "the thank u, next video was so good, it broke the internet (or at least delayed YouTube comments from posting for a bit)." The video now has over 82 million views but at the time it came out, it pulled out so many commenters that YouTube just couldn’t keep up with them all.

This isn’t the only big thing for Ariana on YouTube. She has a four-part docuseries airing on the streaming service that documents here recent Dangerous Woman tour, which shows her life on the road (including the time after the tragic Manchester attack) and entire songs from the shows. It’s being released for free weekly here, but all episodes are also available for YouTube Red subscribers to watch now.

Google starts rolling out call screening transcripts to Pixel owners

You might no longer need to look at your Pixel’s screen to see if the call is worth answering. Google has reportedly started rolling out Call Screen transcripts to the Pixel 3 and the older Pixels. Call Screen lets Google Assistant answer your phone calls for you and it asks the caller the purpose of the call and you’ll get to see a live transcription of the conversation. But now, you’ll be able to look at the conversation after the call has ended with the new transcripts option, which lets you save them after the call ends. The Call Screen transcripts are accessible through the Recents tab on your phone app. You can choose any call you want to look at that you’ve screened and select Call Details. There should be a See Transcript option there. It’s unclear how widely the feature has been rolled out, though, so best to keep checking if it’s available for you. For now, you might have to keep checking your phone when it answers a call for you.
