✅ Restart phone before installing

Pro Tip: Update at night and let optimization finish peacefully.

Galaxy users — updating the moment it arrives? 👇

Google is introducing Search Profiles, a dedicated space for creators and publishers to showcase their work directly on Search.

The new profiles can highlight content across social media, video, and news platforms, giving audiences a single place to discover and learn more about a creator or publication.

Google says the goal is to make it easier for users to find accurate, up-to-date information about trusted sources while helping creators strengthen their presence across the web.

As Search becomes more creator-centric, building a recognizable brand may become just as important as publishing great content.

Is Google turning Search into a creator platform?🤔

WWDC 2026 is just four days away, and iOS 27 is shaping up to be a big one.

The update is expected to focus less on visual changes and more on making the iPhone smarter and more useful day to day.

Top features to watch:

• A smarter AI-powered Siri
• Nutrition label scanning in Health
• Liquid Glass refinements
• Better “Add to Notes” integration
• More AI features across the system

If Apple gets Siri right this time, iOS 27 could be one of the most meaningful iPhone updates in years.

Which feature are you most excited for? 👇

Google just brought Gemini to Android Go phones.

Gemini Go is now rolling out to Android Go devices with 2GB+ RAM, bringing Google’s AI assistant to entry-level phones.

No Gemini Live.
No image generation.
No advanced AI tools.

But for millions of budget Android users, this is their first real taste of Gemini.

AI is no longer a flagship-only feature.

Do you think basic AI features are enough for most smartphone users? 👇

Samsung Introduces Next-Gen Galaxy Watch Features for AI-Powered Everyday Health Companion

Starting June 8, a major Samsung Health app update will introduce four new features designed to provide personalized guidance instead of just tracking data:
• Vitals
• Running Coach
• Antioxidant Index
• Mindfulness Tracker

This feels like Samsung’s biggest step toward WHOOP-style coaching. The focus is shifting from simply tracking health data to delivering AI-powered insights and actionable guidance. Your smartwatch isn’t just measuring your health anymore—it’s starting to coach you.

Would you trust health advice generated by AI from your smartwatch data?👇

Google is rolling out Gemini Avatars to more users.

With a selfie video and voice recording, Gemini can create a digital version of you that looks and sounds like you.

This isn’t just another AI feature.

It’s Google’s vision for a future where AI can create content, present information, and potentially interact on your behalf using your own identity.

AI assistants are slowly evolving into AI versions of ourselves.

Would you create an AI avatar of yourself, or is that a step too far? 🤔

@CeasyKM Thank you for your feedback. List specifically covers devices scheduled to receive One UI 8.5 during June. The A36 series already received the update in May (starting in Korea), which is why it is not included in the June rollout list

[Procast @procastx]

Samsung’s latest One UI 8.5 roadmap leaves out an entire generation of Galaxy devices.

Missing from the list:

• Galaxy S22
• Galaxy S22+
• Galaxy S22 Ultra
• Galaxy Z Fold 4
• Galaxy Z Flip 4

These phones are still more than capable in 2026.

The question is whether Samsung thinks they’re still worth updating.

Should Samsung extend One UI 8.5 to its 2022 flagships? 👇

@dmkodabest Thanks for sharing, good to hear Bixby is working well for you. Perplexity integration should make it stronger.

[Procast @procastx]

Samsung spent the last year promoting Gemini across Galaxy devices.

Now Samsung is giving Bixby a second life with Perplexity-powered AI in One UI 8.5.

Instead of betting on a single assistant, Samsung seems to be building an AI ecosystem where Gemini and Bixby coexist.

The question is:

Which AI assistant are you actually using on your Samsung phone in 2026?

• Gemini
• Bixby

And why? 👇

[Procast @procastx]

@Samsusams200 Exactly, S22 series is still powerful enough. Crazy that budget A series gets One UI 8.5 while flagships from 2022 are cut off. Samsung needs to do better.

[Procast @procastx]

@Wisdom4308351 Thanks for sharing! S22 is still eligible for One UI 8.5 according to Samsung, but not fully confirmed yet. India might get it later. Hope it happens! 🤞

Google has officially launched Gemma 4 12B.

The new open model brings native audio and video understanding, along with improvements in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows.

Google says Gemma 4 12B is designed to deliver advanced multimodal AI while remaining practical for local deployment.

The launch further strengthens Google’s position in the rapidly growing open-model ecosystem.

With Gemma, Llama, and Qwen all advancing quickly, competition in open-source AI is becoming more intense than ever.

Which open model ecosystem are you most excited about in 2026? 👇

Samsung HK’s own Newsalert with the internal roadmap: https://t.co/sKJ87RRfki

[Procast @procastx]

@shlsaifi9971032 Fair call — no full official announcement from Samsung yet. This is their leaked HK internal roadmap though, and it excludes S22 series + Fold4/Flip4. Reports say testing stopped too. 2022 flagships getting left behind feels rough 😕 Your thoughts?

[Procast @procastx]

@losuel64 Yes, Dynamic Color theming is already rolling out widely in the stable Google app (v17.26+). The improved screen-sharing option is in beta (v17.28).

[Procast @procastx]

Google is making Gemini feel even more native on Android.

The overlay now supports Dynamic Color, matching your phone’s Material You theme. Google is also making screen-sharing options easier to access.

These aren’t headline features.

But they show where Android is heading:

Gemini is slowly becoming part of the OS itself—not just another app.

Is Google integrating AI into Android the right way? 👇

[Procast @procastx]

@SpookieGames Agree! 👍
Keep both apps installed but make Samsung Messages the true default with RCS, end-to-end encryption, and better integration.

[Procast @procastx]

@Galvestz Cool, thanks for sharing!, Bixby’s voice recognition edge + Perplexity web integration sounds like a solid combo. 👍

[Procast @procastx]

@YuoIvan Agreed! Bixby still wins for quick device & smart home control on Galaxy. Gemini is smarter for general stuff, but Bixby feels more native. 👍

[Procast @procastx]

@isrma_can Gemini > Bixby purely for language support. Nice that Samsung is offering both though.

[Procast @procastx]

@abjackersx Prioritizing consistency across the UI over keeping the standalone app’s better design.

[Procast @procastx]

@Haemir1607 Agreed! Dual setup works great with custom buttons, but Samsung should push Bixby harder.
