Apple leak shows a completely new look for ‘iPhone 8’

We’ve see different leaks about Apple’s upcoming ‘iPhone 8,’ the device which marks 10^th anniversary of Apple’s smartphone, and a new one shows a much more detailed look at its almost bezel-less design.

Google officially shuts down Talk

If you’re still one of the last people using Google Talk, you’re now going to have to say goodbye to the chat service. Google is closing down the service today. And they want you to use Hangouts instead. This news doesn’t really come as a surprise as the company has long been telling users to switch to other messaging apps for quite a while. The good news is there are tons of other good messaging apps out there. Or you can stick with Hangouts. That’s up to you.

Procreate releases update for the new iPads & teases a major update for the fall

Illustrators who use the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil have probably heard of Procreate. And if you’re one of these users, the app has just been updated to fix a bug that has been plaguing the new iPad Pros. According to Procreate, this update “fixes a cancelling issue with the canvas zoom and pan gesture” on both the 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros.

Aside from that, the company plans to release a major update for the app in the fall. Teasing the update on Instagram, it says that version 4 will be “the biggest update ever.” It’ll supposedly run “4x faster” and be “designed for the future.” The platform will also be “powered by METAL.” The new features will be teased on the company’s website starting this week. Procreate is available on the App Store for $8.49.

Google Photos takes out ability to backup only while charging

A new update that’s started to roll out for Google Photos is something that Android users aren’t happy with. The app has lost the option to back up image collections only while charging. This means, you’ll have to either manually back photos up or accept that’ll backup anytime you’re connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network (the latter is thankfully something you still have control over). While Google hasn’t explained the reason behind this update, it’s bound to annoy some users. Having Photos backing up while charging a device seems like a logical step as it really isn’t doing much then.

It looks like the feature hasn’t rolled out to all users yet but it should be coming your way soon. Keep your eyes out for version 2.17.0.159033354. If you want to share your thoughts on this latest update, you can leave some feedback in the link here.
