The latest Spotify update adds a new suite of features and tests that put “you in the driver’s seat and offer you more control over your listening and discovery.” Spotify has launched these tools for users to “curate playlists, refine your recommendations, and shape your music journey.”
For premium users, the new Spotify update upgrades the Queue feature with a new design is that easier to use and includes controls like Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, Repeat, and Sleep Timer. Plus, Premium users will also start seeing which songs Spotify recommends after your queued-up tracks end, so you can decide what makes it into your queue. You can also easily switch Autoplay and Smart Shuffle off in your settings for full control.
Next, there’s an updated Hide button and a new Snooze feature where the former is now more intuitive, and when you tap it, the track will be hidden from that playlist across all devices, so Spotify won’t play it again in that playlist. Then there’s a new 30-day Snooze feature so you can keep a song from appearing in your recommendations or auto playing.
“This option allows you to temporarily remove a track from your recommendations, so you can keep things fresh while leaving the door open for a future reunion,” said Spotify. The company is starting to test this for Premium users and is planning to bring it to more listeners soon.
Next, the Spotify update adds new mobile playlist management tools that will help you customize your creations. Now, at the top of all your playlists, you’ll find easy access to Add, Sort, and Edit to build your track list, change your playlist title, create custom cover art, and perfectly sequence each song.
If you’re always adding to your Liked Songs, listeners in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K., and the United States can now use this tracklist to build playlists. Try it out by filtering by genre and tapping “turn into a playlist.”
Now, by tapping the Create button “+” at the bottom-right side of your mobile app, you’ll be able to easily create your playlist, collaborate with friends, and join a Blend. If you’re a mobile Premium user in a supported market, the Create button will also provide quick access to Jam for real-time listening with friends, and AI Playlist, where you can turn your most creative ideas into playlists.
Google has silently launched the Gemini app for iPad which is optimised for bigger screens. The company debuted the Gemini app for iPhones in November last year and users have had to use the same app for iPad with black borders and an iOS keyboard while typing till now. Here’s everything to know about the new development.
The Gemini app for iPad was pushed through the App Store where the app has been updated for the bigger screens of iPads. The update, bearing version 1.2025.1770102, comes with a changelog which is as follows:
Gemini now has a full-screen, optimized iPad app
Gemini can now be added as a homescreen widget
Gemini can now connect with your Google Photos library
UI improvements and bug fixes
Now, the app expands till the edges of the iPad screen with a full edge-to-edge iPadOS keybord popping up while typing. It, however, gets the same minimal user interface as the iPhone app and the Android tablets app with the “Hello, user name” greeting in the middle. While using Gemini live, the animation now expands from EDGE to edge, covering the entire width of your landscape and portrait iPad display.
Aside from that, Google is also bringing Audio Overviews to over 45 languages globally after launching for English in March. Audio Overviews was launched earlier in March this year where Gemini can create a podcast style discussion between two AI hosts who, with just a click, launch into a lively deep-dive conversation based on your uploaded files. They’ll summarize the material, draw connections between topics, engage in a dynamic back-and-forth and provide unique perspectives.

Airtel has introduced two new international Roaming plans with unlimited data in India, including one which costs Rs 2,999 while the other one costs Rs 3,999. The company previously launched such packs back in April 2024 with a starting price of Rs 133/day.
Spotted by Mukul Sharma first, the two new Airtel international roaming plans have now been listed on Airtel’s website. The new international roaming plans priced at Rs 2,999 and Rs 3,999, valid for 10 days and 30 days respectively. Both offer unlimited data, making them ideal for heavy users while traveling abroad.
With either plan, users get up to 100 hours of total Talk time per day, covering both incoming and outgoing calls. The Rs 3,999 plan adds a few extra perks, including in-flight connectivity. That means you’ll get 100 minutes of outgoing calls, 100 free SMS, and 250MB of data while flying—valid for 24 hours.
Another convenient feature: postpaid users don’t need to swap SIM cards to use these plans. Airtel says roaming benefits will kick in automatically once you land in any of the 189 supported countries.
Earlier last month, Airtel announced the introduction of two significant enhancements, one of which will now flag international spam calls and SMSes. The second new feature allows customers to receive SPAM alerts for calls and SMS messages in their preferred Indian languages. This new feature will be available in ten vernacular languages, with support for more languages coming in the near future.
The upgraded AI-driven SPAM solution will now notify users about calls and messages from both domestic and international numbers in ten Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Punjabi and Urdu. SPAM alert notifications using vernacular languages are only accessible to customers using Androiddevices. All these features continue to be free for customers and will get auto-activated for all Airtel customers without them having to raise a service request.

In related news to Google’s Pixel devices, the brand’s upcoming Pixel 10 series’ camera specs were leaked recently. These suggest that the base Pixel 10 will get both an upgrade and downgrade in the optics segment. On the other hand, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will both have setups that remain largely unchanged from their predecessors.
The Pixel 10 will use a triple rear camera system which is an upgrade over past year’s base model Pixels.

Powering the phone is the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset. However, there’s a slight chance that this Chipset could be replaced with the yet-to-be-announced Dimensity 9400e chipset, which is said to be a slightly tweaked version of the Dimensity 9300+.
For the cameras, the Vivo X200 FE will pack a triple camera setup on the back, featuring a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 50MP Sony IMX882 3X telephoto sensor. There’ll be a 50MP front-facing camera for selfies.

Rockstar Games has finally announced GTA 6 Trailer 2 after showcasing Trailer 1 about a year and a half ago in December 2023. The developer announced earlier last week that the GTA 6 launch has been delayed from fall 2025 to May of 2026 but gave an actual date this time, which is May 26th.
After dropping the GTA 6 Trailer 2 on YouTube and its other social handles, Rockstar Games also revealed key details about the game including its characters, their descriptions, key locations on the map, and more. The trailer, which gives us a more detailed look at the game with more locations and a close up of the characters, was recorded on a PS5 and not the latest PS5 Pro which shows how well the game will be optimised for older models at launch.
Aside from that, the developer also published a website with all the details of the characters and key locations on the in-game map. As for the synopsis of the game, set in Vice City, “Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
GTA 6 Characters
Jason Duval
Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder. Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new.
Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he’d like it to turn out but right now, it’s hard to tell.
Lucia Caminos
Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson — only smart moves from here.
More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands.
Fresh out of prison and ready to change the odds in her favor, Lucia’s committed to her plan — no matter what it takes. A life with Jason could be her way out.
Cal Hampton
What if everything on the internet was true? Jason’s friend and a fellow associate of Brian’s, Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private Browser tabs open.
The psychopaths are in charge. Get used to it. Cal is at the low tide of America and happy there. Casual paranoia loves company, but his friend Jason has bigger plans.
Boobie Ike
It’s all about heart — the Jack of Hearts. Boobie is a local Vice City legend — and acts like it. One of the few to transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio — Boobie’s all smiles until it’s time to talk business.
Top quality cuts. Boobie might seem like he’s just out for himself, but it’s his partnership with the young aspiring music mogul Dre’Quan for Only Raw Records that he’s most invested in — now they just need a hit.
Dre’Quan Priest
Only Raw… Records. Dre’Quan was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal.
You’re with the label now. Now that he’s signed the Real Dimez, Dre’Quan’s days of booking acts into Boobie’s strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene.
Real Dimez
Viral videos. Viral hooks. Bae-Luxe and Roxy aka Real Dimez have been friends since high school — girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence.
One hit away from fame. An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now, after five years and a whole lot of trouble, they’re signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice.
Raul Bautista
Experience counts. Confidence, charm, and cunning — Raul’s a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards.
A professional adapts. Raul’s recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table.
Brian Heder
Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset. Brian’s a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, Brian’s been around long enough to let others do his dirty work.
Looks like a Leonida beach bum — moves like a great white shark. Brian’s letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties — so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori’s sangria once in a while.
GTA 6 Map Locations Revealed So Far
Vice City
Everything in Excess. We’re a long way from the ’80s, but Vice City is still the sun and fun capital of America.
The glamour, hustle, and greed of America captured in a single city. Each neighborhood has something to offer, from the pastel art deco hotels and bright white sands of Ocean Beach, to the bustling panaderías of Little Cuba and the bootleg brands of the Tisha-Wocka flea market, out to the VC Port, the cruise ship capital of the world.
Leonida Keys
Gateway to Paradise. The dress code is casual, the bars are loaded.
Life in this tropical archipelago isn’t flashy but it’s easy. Get your buzz on and pull up a deck chair but look out — you are right on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in all of America.
Grassrivers
Welcome to the Wetlands. The untamable jewel of Leonida’s crown.
You never know what lies beneath the surface of this primordial expanse. The gators may be the most famous attraction, but there are far deadlier predators and weirder discoveries among the mangroves.
Port Gellhorn
Live Hard. This is Leonida’s forgotten coast.
Cheap motels, shut-down attractions, and empty strip malls won’t bring the tourists back, but there’s a new economy in this once-popular vacation spot. It’s fueled by malt liquor, painkillers, and truck stop energy drinks. Jump on a dirt bike and hold onto your wallet.
Ambrosia
Keeping Leonida Sweet. The battle for the health and wealth of Leonida begins here.
In the heart of Leonida, American industry and old school values still reign supreme — whatever the cost. The Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs, while the local biker gang provides almost everything else.
Mount Kalaga
Wild, Wild Country. Room to breathe on the state’s northern fringes.
A national landmark up against the state’s northern border, Mount Kalaga offers prime hunting, fishing, and off-road trails. In the lush surrounding backwoods, hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals live far from the prying eyes of the government.
This was everything Rockstar Games revealed about GTA 6 alongside the launch of the Trailer 2. The in-game action screenshots offer a glimpse of what’s coming next year—and it’s looking more exciting than ever.
