Google App Beta Introduces New Icon-Based Shortcuts
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Updates continue to arrive, and the latest beta of the Google app, version 15.34, shows a new look for the shortcuts carousel. Gone are the text labels replaced by colorful icons, making it not only more intuitive but saving screen space at the same time. Among these new shortcuts, the user will be able to search for photos, translate text, solve homework, identify songs, and buy products in screenshots.

This cleans up transitioning the text-heavy buttons to simple icons. The user intuitively will mostly know and find these icons familiar. However, there could be a better optimization in layout. With only five shortcuts, all this should fit on one screen. A tighter UI would eliminate scrolling.

The barcode and QR code scanner has been a long-expected feature. We first heard the rumors about it back in May. Later on, in June, it came to life as a demo. Now, an X post from Mishaal Rahman hints at the feature’s actual rollout.

Once that feature is turned on in your device, Google Circle to Search will automatically start detecting and scanning for a barcode or QR code. A new chip will appear atop any valid code you come across. The chip will smoothly take you to the relevant results.

This is rolling out broadly, so a lot of users will have this shortly. If you have a supported Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy device, you can try it today. Head into a webpage or open an image that includes a QR code and use the long-press home button.

It should be on by default without any extra action to circle the code. This would make the lives of people who wish to attain information from barcodes and QR codes much easier. A huge user experience that is going to set a leading example for Circle to Search.

Brazil Bans X (Twitter) with Severe Fines for VPN Users
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Brazil has imposed a major ban on Elon Musk’s X. The country took such a drastic measure over differences related to the dissemination of disinformation. According to the New York Times, anyone trying to circumvent the ban by accessing X (Twitter) through VPNs in Brazil faces a stern punishment. It goes all the way up to fines of almost $9,000 a day for the breach of the ban.

X (Twitter)

It happened when the government of Brazil ordered X (Twitter) to stop hosting disinformation on its site. Musk framed the directive as “censorship.” The fight escalated. On Wednesday, Brazil demanded that X identify a legal representative who is resident in Brazil. With X failing to act on the instruction after the 24-hour deadline for compliance lapsed, it was banned.

X (Twitter)

This development surely projects a question mark on the way X handled the issue. The ruling has provided evidence of the tussle between social networks and national regulations, which seems to be growing. The measures imposed by Brazil are strictly a reflection of concerns about online misinformation. The outcome is still uncertain as both parties try to get through this complex issue.
