Google is rolling out a new Preferred Sources feature in Google Search that will allow for a more personalised experience when doing a search as users will be able to look up more information from their choice of sources (or websites). Here’s how the feature works and how you can enable it.
Google has rolled out the Preferred Sources feature in Google Search as an experiment in the Labs section. With the feature, “you can now choose to see more results in Top Stories from the sites you love, whether that’s your favorite sports blog or local newspaper,” says Google.
If you opt in to the experiment, you can tap the starred icon to the right of the Top Stories header. Then, you’ll have the option to select your preferred sources (if a site is publishing fresh content). You’ll start to see more of the latest updates from your selected sites in Top Stories when they have new articles or posts that are relevant to your search.
Furthermore, your sources will be “clearly labeled and will appear in addition to other results in Top Stories, so you can see what your favourite sites have to say along with a range of sources.”
One can enable the feature through the Labs section. It is available in English in the U.S. and India as of now.
Google also discussed about some other Search features that have been there for a while now, such as the ability to pick up where you left off your last search. “To help you quickly find and visit your favorite sites, with personalization on Search, results you return to often will be promoted in your results when relevant for your search,” said the company.
Nothing Phone 3 renders have surfaced online once again and this time, they seem to be looking more real than before. The render that leaked before seems to have been the incorrect one while the latest leak shows off the device in two shades, black and white.
The report comes from Android Headlines where the leaked Nothing Phone 3 renders show the device from all angles. The back of the device is unlike anything you’ve seen in the smartphone space, be it from other brands or Nothing itself. The glyph matrix system resides at the top right corner within a small circular cluster of LEDs. The three cameras are placed individually in an asymmetric manner, similar to the Phone (3a) Pro.
The back consists of various shapes along with a circular button as well, whose purpose is still unknown at the moment. The flat side rails seem to be made of aluminium and have Antenna bands. The right spine has the power button and the Essential key while the left houses the volume buttons. The front shows even and thin bezels around the display.
Out of the three sensors, Nothing has already confirmed one of them to be a 50MP periscope lens which will support 3x Optical Zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. It is safe to assume the rest of the two Sensors include the primary camera and an ultra-wide one. Furthermore, the design shown by Nothing matches that of the leaked Nothing Phone 3 renders which further lead us to believe that these renders are the real deal.
The device has officially been confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. It will also be receiving 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches. The device will likely be running on Android 15 out of the box with Nothing OS 3.5. Further, it will purportedly pack a 5200mAh battery that may charge at 65W speeds with a wire.

Moto G96 5G India launch has been teased by the brand and the device is expected to debut later next month. The device has already been leaked before which gives us an idea of what to expect from it once it arrives. Here’s everything to know about the upcoming launch from Motorola.
Moto G96 5G India Launch
The G96 5G India launch was teased through the Flipkart website, which didn’t confirm the model name of the device but teased four shades for the handset which match the leaked renders of the Moto G96 5G. It also confirmed that the device will get a Snapdragon chipset, dual rear cameras, and a curved display, all of which are also a part of the leak which came about a month ago.
As for the expected specs, the report suggested that the Moto G96 5G will pack a 6.67-inch 144Hz pOLED 10-bit curved display and will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. Furthermore, there’s supposed to be a 50MP Sony Lytia LYT-700C sensor with OIS on the back, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera that will also support a macro option. It is expected to pack a 32MP front camera.
One can also expect stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos along with a 5,500mAh battery that would charge at 68W speeds. It should come with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The Moto G-series device is rumoured to be priced around Rs 22,990 for the 12GB + 256GB model. However, an official confirmation regarding the specs and price is still awaited, and so is an exact launch date. Considering the company has started the marketing campaign for the device, it should launch early in July.
A new WhatsApp Private Message Summaries feature is rolling out now within the messaging platform that allows one to “privately and quickly summarize unread messages in a chat,” so they can get an idea of what is happening, before reading the details of the unread messages.
WhatsApp Private Message Summaries uses Private Processing technology, which allows Meta AI to generate a response without Meta or WhatsApp ever seeing the user’s messages or the private summaries. “No one else in the chat can see that you summarized unread messages either. This means your privacy is protected at all times,” said WhatsApp in a blog post.
Private Processing is an “optional capability that enables users to initiate a request to a confidential and secure environment and use AI for processing messages where no one — including Meta and WhatsApp — can access them.”
WhatsApp notes that Private Processing features like Message Summaries are optional and they are off by default. You can choose whether or not to use them, and can use Advanced Chat Privacy to select which chats can be shared for AI features.
Message Summaries is rolling out in the English language to people in the United States and the company hopes to bring it to other languages and countries later this year.
Earlier this month, the company announced that it will begin showing Ads in WhatsApp Status. Furthermore, it announced Channel Subscriptions and Promoted Channels. The aim behind introducing these features to the Updates tab was to “help admins, organizations, and businesses grow on WhatsApp.”
These new features will appear only on the Updates tab, away from your personal chats, the Messaging platform notes. This means if you only use WhatsApp to chat with friends and loved ones there is no change to your experience at all.
