cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-18 22:00:08

Apple released iOS 26 on Monday, a few months after the company announced it at the June Worldwide Developers Conference. The update includes a Liquid Glass redesign, new ringtones and lots of hidden features for your iPhone. It also has a new call screening feature that lets you stop spam calls from bothering you. Call screening isn't an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 26-compatible iPhone, like the iPhone 14 Pro, can use it. I enabled the feature early in the beta process, and my iPhon

Google is finally changing its tune about call recording on Pixel phones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-22 07:43:58

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google appears to be backing down from its long-standing position against letting Pixel phones record voice calls. The company has already updated support pages, indicating that the option may exist for Pixel 6 and later models. So far we’ve only seen confirmation out of India, and it’s unclear which markets will ultimately get access. Smartphones may do a million and one different things, but at their very core, these devices are still phones. You ma

Small, affordable, efficient: A lot to like about the 2026 Nissan Leaf

Nissan provided flights from Austin to San Diego and then to Washington, DC, and accommodation so Ars could drive the Nissan Leaf. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. SAN DIEGO—The original Nissan Leaf was a car with a mission. Long before Elon Musk set his sights on Tesla selling vast numbers of electric vehicles to the masses, then-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn wanted Nissan to shift half a million Leafs a year in the early 2010s. That didn't quite come to pass, but by 2020, it had sold its

Apple’s Best New iOS 26 Feature Has Been on Pixel Phones for Years

wired.com Reece Rogers 2025-10-02 11:53:15

Ever since I was a child, I’ve despised answering the phone when an unknown number calls. Who could be on the other end? Literally anyone: an acquaintance, a telemarketer, a serial killer who’s menacingly breathing into the mouthpiece. While Apple’s upcoming Liquid Glass refresh in iOS 26 is likely to be the most immediately noticeable aspect of the software update as it starts rolling out to the public on September 15, I believe a smaller addition in iOS 26 might even have a bigger impact on h

Google's Pixel phones are chock-full of helpful, smart features, and they capture some of the best-looking photographs on a mobile device. It's why they're among our favorite Android smartphones. But like several of its peers, Google doesn't have many of its best features turned on by default. For example, Call Screening blocks unwanted phone calls on your behalf, and you need to turn it on yourself. That's what I'm here for.

Google’s working on making it easier to find calls you’ve recorded (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Phone app supports call recording in select areas. Earlier this year we saw the Phone app picking up new filters to sort through your call log. Now the app appears to be working on a filter to quickly display calls that have been recorded. Being able to easily record a voice call is exactly the sort of thing a smartphone should be useful for, but messy legal concerns keep the feature from being nearly as ubiquitous as it should be.

TL;DR Google Phone app users are getting a new feature called “Take a Message.” This feature separates missed or declined calls from spam calls. The app will provide a real-time transcription of the caller’s message and suggestions for next steps to take. Missed calls happen, whether you’re away from your phone or you didn’t hear the ring. And you’re not always in a position to listen to a voicemail. Still, you probably want to know why that person reached out. Even if you declined the call,
