It seems that the company plans to use the full “Google” wordmark in the app’s header going forward. The new Google Messages branding seems to be consistent with other Google apps, such as Photos, Calendar, Drive, and more. Google is constantly making subtle changes to the look and feel of its core apps, and we’ve discovered that Google Messages may be in line f

I Think Netflix's New 'Messy Girl Summer' Category Missed a Few Titles, but I've Got You

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-24 19:00:11

You've probably noticed that Netflix likes to group certain shows and movies into categories while you browse their interface. Among the most prominent in my own feed are headings like "Lazy Day Comfort Binges," "Critically Acclaimed Witty Buddy TV Shows" and "Award Nominees" -- I guess I give off lazy but prestigious vibes. (The algorithm gets me!) While browsing recently, I stumbled on a new, seasonal category that caught my eye: Messy Girl Summer. This category features about 35 titles, all

Will That Massive ‘Superman’ Revelation Impact the Future of DC?

James Gunn’s Superman centers on a few key moments. One of the biggest is the message Kal-El, played by David Corenswet, was left with from his Kryptonian parents. If you’ve seen the movie, you know how it plays out. (And, if you haven’t, it’s a pretty big spoiler, so proceed with caution.) Either way, it’s a bombshell revelation that changes not just the character but the entire trajectory of the movie, and so we had to talk to the people most directly affected by it.

Online dating apps have become a leading way to meet romantic partners, turning dating from an in-person experience into an often tedious, touchscreen-focused exercise. And with the advent of generative AI, that bleak landscape of modern dating is continuing to evolve in dystopian — and perhaps predictable — ways.

Denis Villeneuve Will Shoot All of ‘Dune Messiah’ in IMAX

Dune: Part Two was masterful on its own, but in IMAX, it was truly breathtaking. When director Denis Villeneuve opened his aspect ratio up to the full screen 1:43:1 for scenes such as Paul riding the sandworm, it was like traveling from the theater to Arrakis itself.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority When WhatsApp changed its terms in 2021, I was one of the many users who looked for alternative messaging apps for Android. While I had heard about Signal before, the controversial move by WhatsApp prompted me to actually try the app out. I loved it then and I still love it now. But over all these years, I barely use Signal even though I prefer it greatly over WhatsApp. And that’s because of a major advantage WhatsApp has over the privacy-focused messaging app
