Google fixes a 21-year-old issue in Gmail.
Please note the following: Gmail has been available for 21 years. Throughout this time, a significant difference has been observed between the mobile and web versions of the email platform.
Gmail, which has been available for 21 years, has shown a notable difference between its mobile and web versions. However, it has been noted that signatures created in the web version are now transferring to the Gmail app for Android. Previously, users needed to create signatures separately in the mobile app, which was a limitation. Now, any signature set up in the web version will automatically apply to emails sent from the mobile app.
To access signature settings in the web version, users must go to Settings > See all settings options > General signature. Although multiple signatures can be stored in Gmail, it is not possible to switch between them in the mobile app. If a new signature is set from the Android app, it will replace the one configured in the web version. Theoretically, emails drafted in the app will automatically include the signature at the bottom of the message, although users can manually remove it before sending. At this stage, this signature synchronization feature seems to be available only for Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S25, and does not affect iOS users.
On the other hand, Apple has finally made it possible for alternatives to Apple Pay to enter the iPhone, a direct result of the implications of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulatory framework has led Apple to open its NFC technology to third parties, allowing Vipps, a Norwegian company, to be the first to offer a contactless payment solution on the iPhone, in addition to Apple’s original service. Although Vipps currently only operates with Norwegian banks, its reach is expected to expand across Europe.
In the realm of quantum computing, Google has made significant progress with its Willow computer, demonstrating that increasing the number of qubits in their system significantly reduces the error rate. Hartmut Neven, head of Google Quantum AI, explained that by using increasingly larger groups of qubits, they managed to halve the error rate. This progress is crucial in the challenge of quantum error correction, which has been a key goal since the concept was introduced by Peter Shor in 1995.
In the field of entertainment, Netflix has realized that live events have not been their strong suit and have faced difficulties in their strategy for streaming sports and music. However, the platform has decided to try again in this space with WWE, the popular American wrestling organization, as their next test.
