Google is making it easier to look for photos and share notes with others. In Google Photos, users can now type in words to find pictures. For example, you can search for “birthday cake” and see all your photos with cakes. This works for text that shows up inside the images, like words on signs or notes. The feature is rolling out to more people and will be available to everyone soon.

At the same time, Google’s NotebookLM, a tool for making notes smarter, now lets users share their notes with anyone using a public link. Before, only people with access to the note could see it. Now, you can send a link to friends or coworkers, and they can read your notes, even if they don’t have a Google account. This makes teamwork and sharing ideas much easier.

Both updates help people find things faster and share information without extra steps. Google Photos makes memories easier to find, and NotebookLM makes working together on notes simple and open to everyone.

Google is working on new updates for Android, and one of them is called Android 16 QPR1. This update is not out for everyone yet, but it brings some cool changes for users who care about how their phone screen looks.

One big change is a new way to control brightness and HDR settings. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and it makes pictures and videos look more colorful and full of life. With Android 16 QPR1, you can change how bright your screen gets when HDR content is playing. Before, your phone would just make the screen as bright as possible for HDR. Now, you get to pick if you want it brighter or not.

This means you can watch movies or videos the way you like. If you want your screen extra bright for HDR, you can do that. If you want to save battery or just like a softer look, you can turn it down. The update also makes it easier to find and use these settings, so you don’t have to dig deep into menus.

Right now, only some testers can try this feature. But it shows that Google is listening to users who want more control over their phone’s display. Soon, everyone might get to enjoy these changes.

Two new updates are making waves in the world of apps and browsers. First, YouTube users have noticed a bug that causes the navigation bar to disappear unexpectedly. This bar usually helps people move between Home, Shorts, Subscriptions, and Library sections easily. But now, some users find it missing, making it harder to switch between parts of the app. YouTube is aware of the problem and is working on a fix to bring back the navigation bar soon.

On the other hand, Google Chrome has introduced a handy new feature for people who work with scanned PDF files. Normally, scanned PDFs are just images, so you can’t select or search for text inside them. But now, Chrome lets users highlight text from these scanned documents and search for it directly on the web. This makes it much easier to find information without needing extra software or tools. The feature uses smart technology to recognize the text in scanned files, improving productivity for students, researchers, and professionals.

Both updates show how popular apps and browsers keep improving to make user experience smoother. YouTube is fixing bugs to keep navigation simple, while Chrome is adding smart tools to help users work with tricky documents more easily. These changes, though small, can make a big difference in daily digital tasks.
