  • Gmail is already getting Material 3 Expressive design

    Gmail is already getting Material 3 Expressive design

    One of the main topics of discussion with Android 16 is the release of Material 3 Expressive, which not only improves the user experience of the system but also guarantees that Google apps use the same design language, improving consistency. Later in the year, those system-level design modifications are anticipated, but it appears Google is eager to begin implementing Android 16’s app designs.

    Over the past few weeks, the Mountain View tech behemoth has been seen previewing Material 3 Expressive in the Phone app and, more lately, in Calendar, Photos, Files, and Meet. If Gmail is your main email app on your Android phone, it’s time to see if you have the Material 3 Expressive design upgrade installed. However, there is no information regarding when Android 16’s design will be available for these apps.

    How Material 3 Expressive design is changing Gmail?

    The Gmail app version 2025.05.11 is implementing Android 16’s design language, which was initially noticed by SparkRadar on Telegram. This brings significant modifications to the program’s general look (via Android Authority). The new card-based user interface for the email list is the first significant change you’ll notice when you launch the app.

    Material 3 Expressive design Gmail

    Emails and the landing page’s search box were previously shown in a single-sheet format. With the Material 3 Expressive redesign, the email screens also had the same card-based user interface as the landing page.

    On the landing page, the “Compose” FAB is still located on the right, but now has a thicker typeface and a solid-filled pencil image. The search bar has seen a minor alteration as well. The profile symbol in the search bar is no longer present in the updated user interface. As an alternative, the search bar’s size has been lowered to create space for the profile symbol next to it.

    Additionally, we can see that the Meet and Email symbols have grown in size, and the bottom bar has slightly expanded. Additionally, Gmail now has a pill-shaped button animation for its swipe motions, which gives the interface a lively personality.

    Although the Material 3 Expressive design update is visually appealing, not all Gmail users can currently access it. The reason for this is that a server-side update is being used to roll it out. Additionally, it may take a few more days to make this adjustment available to everyone, as Gmail is one of the Google apps with over 10 billion installations on the Google Play Store.

  • Temporarly free apps for Android and iOS

    Temporarly free apps for Android and iOS

    There are countless apps available in the Play Store and the App Store, the two app stores owned by Apple and Google. While some of these apps are free, some need a fee. However, many users are unaware that many paid apps can also be temporarily made free as part of a special deal. We have compiled a list of some of the most intriguing free apps accessible right now.

    free android and IOS apps

    Free apps for Android

    • Resume Builder – CV Maker ($5.99) – In this day and age, without a convincing CV, you’re often at a disadvantage. So it’s all the better that you can create a suitable design yourself in a short space of time. With the help of this app and a pinch of creativity, it’s easy to create a professional and appealing CV that leaves an impression.
    • Passport Photo: ID Photo Print ($5.99) – This app makes it easy to take high-quality passport photos from the comfort of your own home, without having to go to a photographer. In Germany, however, self-taken passport photos have only been accepted to a limited extent since May.
    • Stitch Photos: Long Screenshot ($3.49) – Anyone who has ever tried to take a screenshot of an entire website or chat history knows the problem: unwanted elements such as advertisements, menus, or the scrollbar are often included. This app provides a remedy by allowing you to effortlessly remove superfluous elements.
    • Business Card Maker: Logo Card ($5.99) – Whether used professionally or simply for pleasure, business cards are inexpensive to buy. The real challenge often lies in the design, especially for people without graphic talent. But this problem is a thing of the past with this app.

    Free premium apps for iOS

    • Minesweeper Classic ($4.99) – If you’re nostalgic and used to using a Windows PC, you’ll love this game. The game principle is clearly based on the well-known Windows classic: the aim is to correctly mark minefields and uncover all safe fields, just like in the old days. It’s just a shame that the app relies on in-app purchases.
    • Ninja Boy Adventures – Bomberman edition ($1.99) – This game is very similar to the arcade classic Bomberman, with a decisive twist: instead of a bomber, you take on the role of a ninja. The levels are also a little more cleverly designed. However, the gameplay is still entertaining.
    • Queen Rules ($2.99) – This puzzle game is the ideal way to pass the time. The aim is to position your soldiers so that they can defeat the evil witch’s soldiers. There are also interesting level designs and clay figures.
    • Dog Guide 2 PRO ($1.99) – Anyone who wants to find the ideal dog or expand their knowledge of these faithful four-legged friends should take a look at this app. It offers a large number of free pictures, clearly presented information, and a practical filter function – all in one application.

    At the time this post was published, all of the apps we are showcasing here were free to download. Regretfully, developers frequently fail to indicate the duration of these offers. Therefore, you should download an app as soon as possible if you enjoy it.

    However, you should always check the app page in the store before downloading a free program. Because there are occasionally unnoticed obstacles that you should be mindful of.

    Many apps gather user information and frequently sell it. Make sure you only give the program the rights it actually needs if you want to be safe. For instance, a flashlight shouldn’t be interested in your location information, and an alarm clock doesn’t require access to your contacts or cameras.

  • Google Messages receives the “Delete for everyone” feature

    Google Messages receives the “Delete for everyone” feature

    In order to provide Android users a 15-minute opportunity to remove an RCS text that shouldn’t have ever left the phone in the first place, Google Messages is now testing a “Delete for everyone” option. The most recent beta version has led to early complaints that when you long press on a message, two options would appear: “Delete for everyone” and “Delete for me.” When the first option is selected, the chat replaces the text with a tiny label that reads “Message removed,” which is visible to all participants.

    The feature is currently limited to chats in large groups. While the option remained hidden in smaller groups and one-on-one talks, one tester was successful in a thread with twelve participants. Even though it’s in beta, it’s good to see this feature finally being released after it was first discovered in March.

    It should be mentioned that the recall is dependent on RCS Universal Profile 2.7, therefore all conversation participants must have the most recent version of Google Messages installed, else the delete request would silently fail. Furthermore, it appears that Google is already turning off its servers for a small group of beta users to ensure the system is stable before expanding.

    Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.

    Play Store

    It is not surprising that the rollout was so limited. This safety net has been provided by rival apps for years, and each one has its own boundaries. For a generous two days, WhatsApp allows you to retrieve a message. You have fifteen minutes to modify and two minutes to undo in iMessage. Telegram takes one step further by enabling users to delete texts whenever they want without leaving any evidence behind. Google’s 15-minute limit is tiny when compared to that lineup, but it still fills the largest hole in its flagship chat service.

    Given that Apple intends to switch to the same RCS profile that supports these additional functions later this year, the timing is crucial. Google has also been working hard to improve Messages’ quality of life features, such as AI reply suggestions, reaction effects, and a long-overdue edit button that took four months to move from beta to stable last year. By the end of 2025, delete for everyone could reach the majority of phones if the firm keeps up its current pace.

    When you consider the time that comes with Apple’s release, I think this is a significant move. Android owners will have the same peace of mind that WhatsApp and iPhone users currently have while keeping their chats organized if Google expands support prior to the stable release.

    7 temporarly free apps for Android and iOS

    Right now, bargain seekers are receiving value for their money. Right now, you can get seven paid apps for free, including one that helps you remember everything you need to do.

    There are countless apps available in the Play Store and the App Store, the two app stores owned by Apple and Google. While some of these apps are free, some cost money. However, many users are unaware that many paid apps can also be temporarily made free as part of a special deal. We have compiled a list of some of the most intriguing free apps accessible right now.

    The majority of free apps either provide in-app purchases or have advertisements. But some apps that cost money also accomplish this. These factors should be taken into consideration, particularly if the game is meant for young players.

    Many apps gather user information and frequently sell it. As a result, only allow the rights that the program actually requires if you want to be secure. For instance, a flashlight should not be interested in your location information, and an alarm clock should not require access to your contacts or cameras.

    If you’re inspired by the quality of these apps and are thinking about creating your own, now might be the perfect time to explore professional development options. Whether you’re targeting Android, iOS, or both, investing in a reliable iOS mobile application development service can turn your app idea into a polished product that stands out in the App Store.

    Examine the permissions requested before downloading any new apps or games, especially those that are temporarily free. An app’s basic operation does not require all permissions, and giving it too much access could compromise your privacy.

    To limit what information each app can access, use the privacy settings on your device. You should also frequently verify which apps have access to sensitive data, such as your location, camera, or microphone. Remember, a great deal is only worthwhile if it doesn’t compromise your personal data. Stay vigilant, enjoy your new apps, and make privacy a priority every time you download.
