Google adds Gemini Labs to centralize experimental features

3 February 2026 at 23:54

Google has brought a new feature, Gemini Labs, to the Gemini web app. This new section is made to hold features that are still being tested. It helps users clearly see which tools are new, experimental, and not fully finished yet. By doing this, Google makes Gemini easier to understand and use.

A new toggle, Personal Intelligence, has been added with app. This option lets users choose whether Gemini can use information from connected Google apps, like Gmail or Google Drive, during a chat.

The setting is turned on by default. If users turn it off, Gemini will not use their connected app data in that conversation. When a new chat starts, the setting turns back on automatically.

To support these changes, Google has slightly changed the Tools menu. Regular features such as Deep Research, Nano Banana, and Deep Think are now grouped together in the main Tools area. Experimental features are kept in Gemini Labs so users can easily tell the difference.

For months, signs of Gemini Labs appeared in updates behind the scenes, showing Google was preparing a space for testing new ideas. Right now, Gemini Labs is only available on the Gemini web app in some regions. Mobile apps have not changed yet, but Google will likely bring this feature to more users soon. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra now supports HDR display on Weibo

3 February 2026 at 22:10

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest flagship phone in the Galaxy S series. And the company is going to launch its next-generation model later this month. Now, a new report has shared an important update about the Galaxy S25 Ultra display.

According to a reliable tipster @UniverseIce, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra now supports HDR display on Weibo. This means users can watch and view HDR photos and videos directly on Weibo using this smartphone. HDR helps make images look better by showing brighter colors, better contrast, and more detail in both dark and bright areas.

The Weibo post also shows several photos taken with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. These photos highlight the HDR effect clearly. With HDR support, pictures look more colorful, clear, and closer to real life. This makes viewing photos and videos on the phone more enjoyable.

Right now, many popular social media apps support HDR content. These include Instagram, Xiaohongshu, and Weibo. Because of this, users can enjoy high-quality images and videos on these platforms. However, the X platform still does not support HDR content.

The addition of HDR support on Weibo improves the viewing experience on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This update is helpful for users who like taking photos, watching videos, and sharing content on social media. Stay tuned for more information.

WhatsApp Beta lets channel admins see post forward numbers

1 February 2026 at 01:03

WhatsApp has added a new feature for Android beta users. This helps WhatsApp Channel admins see how many times their posts have been forwarded. It gives them a better idea of which posts people like and share.

The main highlight in this update is that channel admins can now see the forward count for their posts. When someone forwards a post, the number of forwards will appear next to the forward button. It will also show the emoji reactions from followers.

Right now, only admins can see this number, and followers cannot see it yet. This feature gives admins more information about their channels.

Earlier, WhatsApp started testing a feature to show how many people view a post, but that is still being developed. WhatsApp is trying two options – showing view counts only to admins, or also letting followers see them.

The forward count works in a way that protects user privacy. When a post is forwarded, it is encrypted, so WhatsApp cannot know who sent it or who received it. The app only counts the number of contacts the post is sent to, even if it is forwarded multiple times in the same chat. This number is then added to the total forwards for the post.

This feature is available in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.26.4.11, through the Google Play Beta Program. Right now, it is rolling out to some beta testers. WhatsApp will continue working on the feature to make sure it works properly before making it available to all users.

Most Android Auto users are still waiting for Gemini

31 January 2026 at 23:54

Back in November 2025, Google officially confirmed Gemini for Android Auto, which raises hopes for a better voice assistant in cars. Many drivers were excited because the Google Assistant has not been working well in cars. People hoped Gemini would arrive quickly, but that has not happened.

Even after several months, most Android Auto users still do not have Gemini. This has surprised and disappointed many drivers who were waiting for the update.

Drivers are sharing their experiences online every day. On Reddit, many users say Gemini has not appeared on their Android Auto system yet. Most cars still show the old Google Assistant.

A report by 9to5Google makes the situation clear. Nearly 7,200 people voted, and 92% said they do not have Gemini. Only a very small number said they got it recently.

Some users tried joining the Android Auto beta program. A few people say this helped, but it does not work for everyone and is not recommended for regular users.

Google may be rolling out Gemini gradually. Early users say Gemini is better at natural talking and feels more human while driving. This is one reason people are excited about it.

However, Gemini also has an issue right now. Some users report that it talks too long, stops suddenly, or even talks to itself during Gemini Live.

Google has not shared any clear update about when more people will get Gemini. Until Google speeds things up, most Android Auto users will have to wait longer for the new assistant.
