WristWeb for Wear OS promises smart browsing on Samsung Galaxy Watch
WristWeb is a new web browser made specifically for Wear OS and it’s a great option for Samsung Galaxy Watch users. This browser offers a more functional alternative for smartwatch users looking to browse the web.
We mostly prefer smartphones or computers for surfing the web as smartwatches are not the common choice. That’s why WristWeb offers a handy option when your phone or computer is out of reach for web browsing.
Announced by developer Angel Gabaldon, WristWeb allows users to enter website URLs using voice commands. This feature makes it much easier to navigate on the Galaxy Watch’s small screen.
This simpler menu of the WristWeb gives you quick access to important options, like refreshing pages, changing settings, and going back or forward between pages. You can also zoom in and out with a pinching gesture, which helps you see details better.
Although there are several browsers for smartwatches, WristWeb is one of the better options for Wear OS devices including Samsung Galaxy Watch. It won’t replace your phone or computer for browsing, but it’s a good option for quick searches on your Watch.
You can download the WristWeb app for Wear OS for free from the Google Play Store. If you using any Wear OS devices, you must try out this browser.

Google Photos is making it easier for users to know when their images have been edited using AI, adding a new information section. This new feature aims to enhance transparency by displaying clear information about AI edits.
Starting next week, a new AI Info section will be available for Google Photos users. This section will provide information on photos that edited with tools like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, and Zoom Enhance.
Currently, photos edited with these tools already include special metadata that shows they were enhanced using generative AI. With the upcoming update, this information will be visible next to other details like the file name, location, and backup status in the Google Photos app.
In the AI Info section, users will see Credit and Digital source type. These two options will let them understand where the images come from. Below these two options, there is Metadata that is modifiable.
Moreover, Google will also use metadata for images taken with features like Best Take and Add Me. However, it’s still unclear if users will see this metadata in the same way as for AI-edited photos.
Google wants to use AI responsibly and keep users informed, following its AI Principles. By making it easier to see when AI has been used in editing, Google is ensuring that users have a better understanding of the photos they create and share.
Stay tuned for the Google Photos update next week as it will let you enjoy detailed AI edit information.

Samsung RegiStar app offers several features that give users more control over their experience, and it is expected to add more options with the upcoming One UI 7. Samsung is considering bringing back a small gear icon for shortcuts created with RegiStar, which may arrive with the upcoming One UI update.
The small gear icon used to appear in the bottom right corner of the home screen for shortcuts to help users recognize them as RegiStar settings rather than regular app shortcuts. However, many users have noticed that this gear icon is now missing and have shared their concerns in the community.
One user also mentioned that while the gear icon has disappeared from home screen shortcuts, it can still be seen in the Edge Panel settings. Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged these concerns.
A community moderator has stated that Samsung is looking into restoring the small gear icon for RegiStar shortcuts. The restoration of the gear icon will make it easier for users to navigate their shortcuts and improve usability. However, there’s no confirmation about the release of this feature.
As several modules from the Good Lock app have begun to receive support for One UI 7, Samsung is expected to roll out this support for the RegiStar app soon. This support might also include the gear icon for shortcuts.
In addition to this, Samsung is going to bring the “Check time with Back-Tap” feature for its RegiStar app with the next major One UI update. This feature will provide an easy way for users to check the time by tapping the back of their device.
