Google Photos can now make AI-generated highlight videos for you

Google Photos has learned a neat little trick to better serve its users on Android and iOS. It will use AI to create a highlight video of anything you'd like, with background music in tow.

The feature is rolling out to Android and iOS users right now though it may take a few days to reach your phone.

When it does, you'll have a new "+" icon at the top of your timeline, from there choose Highlight Video. You then use the search within Photos to find what places, people, or topics you want and fire away. AI will do the rest - choose the right clips, a background tune and sync it all...

WhatsApp rolls out multiple accounts support on Android for all

WhatsApp already lets you use the same account on multiple smartphones, but now you can use two different accounts on the same smartphone if it's running Android. This feature - which Telegram had for years - was available for WhatsApp's beta users for some time, but it's only now rolling out to the stable channel.

Having the ability to run two different WhatsApp accounts at the same time on the same smartphone will eliminate the need for users to carry two smartphones or use the app clone feature.

UK regulator clears Microsoft takeover of Activision Blizzard

Back in January of 2022, Microsoft announced its plans to acquire Activation Blizzard in a transaction valued at $68.7 billion – the largest deal in the gaming industry. The deal didn’t exactly go as planned with regulators from the US, the EU and the UK objecting to the takeover.

Well, that hurdle has now been cleared as the CMA has given the green light on the deal.
