Google Keep reminders will soon move to Tasks: Here's what's changing
In April last year, Google announced that Keep reminders would be automatically saved to Tasks sometime in 2025, but did not share details on when the change would go live. Now, on its support page, the tech giant has confirmed that Keep reminders will integrate with Tasks in the coming months before the end of the year. And while Google is yet to share the exact date, the company has shared some more details about its plan. According to the tech giant, the upcoming integration will make it easier for users to organise and manage all their to-dos in one place. Google says you can also ask Assistant or Gemini to set a reminder on your device or smart display, which will then be saved as a task in Google Tasks, with the app sending you a reminder when it's time to complete the task. If a reminder is based on a location, the location will automatically be added to the task's details field, but you will no longer get a notification based on that location. In case you are assigned a reminder by someone else, the assigner's name will be added to the task's title, but they won't have access to that reminder. Also, if you leave a task incomplete, it will show up on your calendar for up to 365 days as a 'Pending task' in the all-day section of the calendar. Google will also allow you to manage reminders that are converted to tasks using Assistant commands like 'Hey Google, show me my tasks' or 'Hey Google, show me my reminders.' One thing to note here is that you don't necessarily need the Tasks app installed to use reminders with Google Assistant. Apart from Google Tasks, you can also get task notifications from the Calendar and the Google app.

Gemini Live just got a whole lot more useful for your Samsung Galaxy phone
TL;DR Google recently introduced a new Gemini Live feature that lets users perform actions within other Google apps during a conversation. The feature initially supported actions within Google Maps, Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, but it now works with a few Samsung apps. Google has confirmed that Galaxy users can now perform actions within Samsung Calendar, Notes, and Reminders during a Gemini Live conversation. Google recently introduced a new Gemini Live feature that lets you interact with other Google apps during a conversation. The feature currently allows users to perform various actions within Google Maps, Calendar, Keep, and Tasks mid-conversation. However, we recently spotted evidence suggesting it could soon support additional apps, like YouTube, Spotify, WhatsApp, and Drive. Although support for these apps has yet to go live, Google has announced that the feature now works with a few Samsung apps. Samsung today lifted the covers off the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE. The new devices are the first from the company to feature One UI 8 based on Android 16, which introduces a host of new Galaxy AI features. In addition, the phones bring a few new Google AI capabilities that will soon roll out to other Android phones. These include improvements for Circle to Search and support for Gemini Live on the Galaxy Z Flip 7's cover screen. Furthermore, Samsung's latest phones are the first to bring Gemini Live integration for three stock One UI apps. Google says Gemini Live on these devices will allow users to perform actions within Samsung Calendar, Notes, and Reminders. Although the company has not shared a complete list of supported actions, we believe the feature will allow users to create calendar entries, reminders, and notes during conversations. It's not yet clear if users will also be able to edit or retrieve information from existing calendar entries, reminders, and notes. However, Google has confirmed that it plans to add support for apps from more device makers in the future. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

A photographer made a bizarre contraption to catch Erin Patterson. The gamble paid off
In news photography, getting 'the shot' is partly down to planning and good luck. On Monday, May 12 – two weeks into Erin Patterson's trial in the usually quiet Victorian country town of Morwell – most of the photographers and journalists covering the murder trial were taking the opportunity of a jury-free day to get some well-earned rest. Martin Keep, though, ventured out into the bitter cold, a custom rig mounted to his body with studio flashes twisted around his camera. It was something that Keep, who was photographing the trial for Agence France-Presse, his colleagues, and Age photographer Jason South had never seen before – a bizarre creation, born out of a chance find at former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn's trial almost a year before. For years in Melbourne, photographers haven't bothered chasing police vans, thinking they couldn't capture the scene inside. 'But the Greg Lynn case changed all that,' South said. '[ Age colleague] Joe Armao got a picture inside [Lynn's] van without anybody in it, and he showed me. He said: 'You can see in there.' I spent days and days, and got Greg Lynn in that van. 'Martin was on the [Patterson] job with me, and he was asking how, and what, and where. On the first day, he did actually get a really dark, soft and grainy photo of [Patterson] in the van. 'He went home and thought on how he could make it better, and he built this whole rig to go around the camera … then he had the most amazing luck.' Patterson also wasn't expecting any media to bother showing up at Morwell Police Station on May 12; she thought they'd spare themselves the boring legal argument, South suggested. Photographers had two chances a week to capture her in the van – when she was en route to and from the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre in Melbourne's west. On May 12, Keep thought he'd test out his rig for the first time, and caught her staring dead-eyed through the window of the police van. In his images, her shock at being photographed is visceral. Her face falls before she turns away from the camera, covering her face with her hands, in a now-iconic set of photographs. 'After that series of flashes through the window, [photographers] never saw her again,' South said. 'She would dive underneath the window, or … [sit with] the back of her head on the window, so there's no chance of seeing her. She'd ride like that all the way to Melbourne – 165 kilometres back.' A stakeout and Erin Patterson's only interview About nine months before Keep captured Patterson in the police van, the news first broke that three people died after a family lunch in Leongatha, about 60 kilometres south-west of Morwell. The Age crime reporter Marta Pascual Juanola, based in Melbourne, grabbed her camera gear and raced down to South Gippsland to begin what then became an eight-day reporting trip to cover the biggest crime story of the year. On August 7, she'd spent most of the morning trying to figure out who the victims were, and who had cooked the fateful meal, before she landed the tip that gave her their names. She managed to track down Patterson's address, where she knew the lunch was held, and parked outside her house for hours, waiting for the mother of two to emerge and engage with the waiting media pack. When Patterson finally came outside, Pascual Juanola was there, waiting with her DSL camera to capture the moment. Holding her phone with one hand to record her comments and using the other to shoot her portrait, the reporter captured an emotional Patterson as she told journalists she loved the people who had attended the lunch. Looking up into the sky as if searching for answers, Patterson dabbed at her eyes with a tissue – but did not appear to have any tears. The result was a Quill Award-nominated series of compelling portraits, which captured Patterson's emotional appeal for sympathy in what would become her only interview with the media. A 'lesson in patience' For Jason South, covering Patterson's triple-murder case was one of the most difficult jobs of his decades-long career, for one reason alone. 'There's so little variety to shoot,' South said. 'You're shooting the same people, at the same place, for 10 weeks straight. Trying to make interesting pictures in the ninth and tenth week was a real lesson in patience. 'Then you add having to get there in the early morning to get people queuing up, and trying to grab a frame of the prosecutor, who would always try and sneak in before the media. 'You'd have early mornings in the sometimes sub-zero temperatures, and then be there at 4.30pm in the afternoon, when they come out.' South and other media initially thought the trial would go for about a month. He ended up having to tell his family, repeatedly, 'just one more week'. His 18-year-old and 22-year-old children caught onto the delay, and it became a running joke. 'When I came home, they quipped, 'are you my daddy?',' South says with a laugh.

Google removes keep app from Apple Watch
Google has officially discontinued its Keep app for Apple Watch. The tech giant is quietly removing the support with the latest app update. This means that Apple Watch users will now not have a native note-taking option. The feature which was launched in 2019 now sees its end. The app has not received any major updates in recent years, but it was a good and functional option for users to quickly make notes or list directly from their wrist. The removal of the app is confirmed by some user reports and developer notes. With the shut down of the Keep App, the watchOS will now have only three Google apps which include Calendar, Maps and YouTube Music. The decision of the company to remove the Keep app is said to be a part of its broader strategy as Google aims to prioritise platforms that align with its own ecosystem. The Keep app will be available on Wear OS and Google's own smartwatch platform. On the other hand, the Apple users will now have to use Apple Notes, Microsoft OneNote or any other third-party app on Apple Watch for taking notes. Apple removes five watch faces from Apple Watch Apple unveiled the latest version of watchOS — watchOS 26 at its annual developer conference WWDC 2025. Bringing a fresh set of features and design enhancements, the watchOS 26 also marks the quiet departure of five beloved watch faces. As reported by 9to5Mac, users updating their Apple Watches to the new OS will find that Fire and Water, Gradient, Liquid Metal, Toy Story, and Vapor watch faces are no longer available. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The removal of these watch faces, discovered by users in the initial developer beta of watchOS 26, continues a trend of Apple streamlining its watch face library with major software updates. Last year, watchOS 11 also saw the discontinuation of several faces, including Siri, Chronograph, Explorer, and Numerals. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
