Now you can send replies while watching Twitter videos in full screen

Twitter today has made a little change to its video section; next time when you're watching a full video size, you don't have to tap out to reply. Prior to this change, users had to tap out to reply. Twitter finally has fixed it.  It's SO annoying when you're watching a video full size but have to tap out to reply. Oh wait, we fixed that. 👇 pic.twitter.com/ZoMP4r5i4Y — Twitter Video (@TwitterVideo) September 19, 2018 Twitter did take a considerable amount of time to fix the annoying process of replying to Tweets while watching videos. This change comes after giving users the ability to switch between chronological and ranked timeline. The next time when you uncheck the  “Show the best tweets first” setting, Twitter will display the Tweets in reverse chronological order; non-algorithmic timeline. This change makes it evident that Twitter is working on improving its platform one step at a time though it is taking everything slowly.

Google Keep for Android silently renamed to ‘Keep Notes’

Google has silently renamed its 'Google Keep' to “Keep Notes.” with the V5.0.371.03 that started rolling out on Monday. This tiny rebrand is visible on the home screen icon, launcher, and Android’s App Info page in system settings. However, the Google web app page still refers to the service as Google Keep, and the Play Store listing is yet to be updated. The new “Keep Notes” branding somewhat appears on the side panel add-ons visible in Gmail, Google Calendar, and Docs. This name change explicitly clarifies the purpose of the app. The Google Keep has long featured reminders, which lead to the confusion with Google's Tasks app. Google in the recent time's updated Phone, Calculator, Chrome to material design, but Keep is due for a Material Theme brand. This new name might be used to usher that change in. You can download the latest version of Keep Notes from APK mirror here. Via

Google ‘Nocturne’ Pixelbook tablet with 8th gen Intel core processor surfaces

Google is rumored to launch new Pixelbook on October 9th at the Pixel event, while we have seen the Pixel 3 phones surface in the wild, we haven't really gotten our eyes on Pixelbook successor. That ends today; we are now seeing what appears to be like a Pixelbook. It has a USB Type-C port on the bottom left and speakers on the left side of the tablet.  Going by the flat power button present on the keyboard, it looks exactly similar to the rendering of the fingerprint sensor enrollment image for Chrome OS spotted by the Chrome Unboxedearlier this month. We already know that Google's Pixelbook might have support for a fingerprint sensor and is also likely to have an SD card slot.   Furthermore, it is said to feature acoustic echo cancellation, and since there are multiple microphones on top of the tablet, this is a given. It is expected to be powered by the 8th-generation Intel processor and said to sport pogo pin support even though we don't see Bluetooth button on the keyboard. However, at this moment it is unclear if this is a Pixelbook, but if it indeed is, the design looks neat. Source

Huawei's Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro flagships are set to launch next month i.e October, while we know the basic hardware and design of the Mate 20 Pro, most of the details are still under the wraps. However, we now have some details regarding the features of the camera app based on EMUI 9.  Thanks to the Mate 20 Pro firmware, the EMIUI 9.0 based camera app might pack features like underwater mode, AI cinema mode, AI Zoom, and Video Bokeh. Since the Mate 20 Pro is a flagship that might come with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, but the underwater mode makes us believe that it is designed to work with or without a waterproof phone. It is designed to help you “take clear shots in underwater environments.” You can press the volume down button to take a photo, press the volume up button to shoot a video, press the power button to turn the camera on/off, or touch and hold the button at the bottom to exit. However, the promotional material shows a picture of the phone in a bag, meaning that Huawei wants you to put your smartphone in a bag and submerge it underwater to take ...
