Google Gemini Set to Introduce Easy Reply Selection and Sharing Capabilities

/in /tarafından

Google is reportedly working on a new feature to improve the user experience with its AI chatbot, Gemini, by making it easier to select and share parts of the generated responses. Currently, users face a multi-step process to copy or share specific portions of text, which can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with longer replies. The upcoming update aims to simplify this by enabling users to directly long-press and drag to select any part of the text within the chat interface, allowing for quicker sharing across other apps.

According to a report from Android Authority, this quality-of-life improvement has been spotted in the latest beta version of the Google app (version 16.20.48.sa.arm64). While the feature is not yet active or available for public testing, its presence in the beta code indicates that Google is actively developing it. Once implemented, it will allow users to bypass the current tedious workflow that involves navigating through multiple menus just to select text within Gemini’s responses.

At present, copying text from Gemini’s mobile app can be frustrating if you want to share only a part of the response. Although there is a “copy” button for the entire answer, selecting a specific segment requires a more complicated method: users must long-press or tap a three-dot menu, then choose a separate “Select text” option, which opens a new screen where the text can be highlighted and copied. This indirect approach interrupts the flow and can be particularly inconvenient when you need to extract several pieces of information.

The upcoming feature is expected to let users highlight text directly on the chat screen, cutting down on unnecessary taps and streamlining the process. However, some limitations may remain, such as the ability to select only one bullet point at a time in bulleted lists, which could complicate sharing multi-point responses. Despite this, the update will represent a significant step toward making Gemini’s interface more intuitive and user-friendly.

Tipster Reveals Apple’s Ambitious iPhone Redesign Plans Spanning Next Three Years

Apple’s iPhone 17 series is slated for release later this year, and early leaks suggest the company is introducing a fresh design for the rear camera module. Dummy models that surfaced online have already hinted at these changes, showing a wider horizontal camera section that sets the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max apart from previous generations. According to a well-known tipster, Apple’s design evolution doesn’t stop there—future models beyond the iPhone 17 are expected to undergo even more significant redesigns.

Sources close to Apple’s supply chain, shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, reveal that the rear camera layout will be one of the key updates for the iPhone 17 lineup. This redesign aims to refine the aesthetic while potentially improving camera functionality. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro models are anticipated to launch in the second half of 2025, continuing Apple’s trend of incremental but meaningful hardware upgrades.

Looking further ahead, Apple is reportedly working on major changes to the front-facing design of its phones. The iPhone 18 series, expected in 2026, might feature a hole-punch display cutout for the selfie camera, while the other Face ID sensors could be hidden under the display. This shift signals Apple’s ambition to move closer to an all-screen iPhone, eliminating the familiar notch that has been part of the design since the iPhone X.

The most radical change could come with the iPhone 19 series, projected for 2027, which may finally ditch the notch entirely by integrating both the selfie camera and Face ID sensors under the display. Although other brands like Nubia have already experimented with under-display cameras, Apple’s approach could overcome current performance issues, delivering a seamless and high-quality full-screen experience. If these plans materialize, Apple will mark a new era in smartphone design with the first truly all-screen iPhone.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A56 earlier this year, featuring its in-house Exynos 1580 chipset. Now, the company seems to be preparing for the arrival of its successor, the Galaxy A57. Although the new model is not expected to debut until early next year, emerging reports suggest it will come powered by a new Exynos processor equipped with the advanced Xclipse GPU. The Galaxy A57 is anticipated to build on the strengths of the A56, which boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a 50-megapixel main camera, and a sizable 5,000mAh battery.

According to a report by the Dutch publication Galaxy Club, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A57 will be equipped with the Exynos 1680 chipset. This new SoC, internally known by the model number ‘S5E8865’ and codename ‘Terra,’ is currently undergoing internal testing. It represents the latest in Samsung’s lineup of in-house processors and is expected to deliver enhanced performance and efficiency compared to its predecessor.

One of the key upgrades in the Exynos 1680 chipset is its use of the Xclipse 550 GPU, which is based on AMD’s graphics architecture. This GPU is believed to outperform the Xclipse 540 GPU found in the Exynos 1580, potentially offering better graphics performance for gaming and multimedia tasks. Industry insiders expect Samsung to officially unveil the Galaxy A57 with this new chipset sometime around March 2026, marking a significant step forward for the mid-range Galaxy A series.

For context, the Galaxy A56 launched in India with a price of Rs. 41,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. It runs on Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7 skin and promises six years of OS and security updates. The phone features a 6.7-inch full HD+ Super AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It also includes a triple-camera setup led by a 50-megapixel sensor and a 12-megapixel front camera. Additional features include a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging and an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, setting a solid benchmark for its successor.
