      Gizmo features a TikTok-style feed consisting of vibe-coded mini apps created with AI.

      Atma Sciences, a startup based in New York, is reimagining doomscrolling with a new app named Gizmo, which replaces viral videos with a TikTok-like feed of interactive, vibe-coded mini applications. Rather than passively consuming short videos, Gizmo allows users to scroll through entertaining AI-generated experiences that they can actively participate in.

      With each swipe, users enter a different interactive experience, which includes simple games, quizzes, reactive memes, and visual experiments. As reported by TechCrunch, these mini apps are produced using natural language prompts, while Gizmo’s built-in AI manages the code and design, enabling anyone to create and publish interactive content without needing technical expertise.

      Users can engage with these Gizmos while browsing their feeds and can even remix existing Gizmos to make their own versions. The remix functionality fosters quick experimentation, allowing users to expand on each other's ideas rather than having to start from scratch. This leads to a feed that feels less polished than conventional social media platforms, showcasing both rough concepts and surprisingly polished experiences.

      Gizmo is available for free on both Android and iOS.

      Gizmo comes at a time when short-form video platforms are gaining significant user attention, but its distinctive format has already seen early success. Since its debut six months ago, it has reportedly attracted around 600,000 installs. The app is free on both iOS and Android, with its app store listing indicating that it will remain free “without limits or hidden costs.”

      In the FAQ section on its website, Atma Sciences states that Gizmo is intended as a social platform for interactive content, with integrated discovery and sharing features that motivate users to explore and remix the creations of others. The company also mentions that it utilizes a combination of automated systems and human review to supervise Gizmos as they are created and remixed “to support a positive community.”

      Samsung's Galaxy S26 may forgo a crucial charging feature, once again.

      Another year, another trade-off: Samsung's Galaxy S26 might not include magnetic Qi2 charging, raising questions about why flagship Android devices still lag behind Apple and Google regarding fundamental features.

      Recently, a Dutch publication released images of transparent first-party cases for the Galaxy S26. Some of these featured a magnetic ring, while others did not, leading to speculation about the lack of built-in Qi2 wireless charging (along with the integrated magnets). It is believed that the upcoming smartphones in Samsung's series will have limited hardware upgrades, and one of the few positive aspects for consumers was the inclusion of magnetic wireless charging.

      Samsung is winding down support for the Galaxy S21, affecting your security updates.

      Samsung's update pages no longer indicate the Galaxy S21 on monthly or quarterly update schedules; here’s how to stay secure and decide when to upgrade.

      Samsung has altered its approach to security updates for the Galaxy S21. Its security update pages no longer list the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, or S21 Ultra under monthly or quarterly schedules, indicating that these devices may no longer be part of the standard patch cycle.

      Updates don’t stop all at once, but you should refrain from assuming that a new patch will be released on a regular schedule, particularly if you use banking applications, store two-factor authentication codes, or access work accounts on your phone.

      Samsung Galaxy S26 might introduce a remarkably fast offline AI image feature.

      Samsung is reportedly incorporating EdgeFusion, a text-to-image tool that operates on the device.

      Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S phone could come equipped with a new AI feature designed for speed. A leak by Ice Universe suggests that the Galaxy S26 will include EdgeFusion, an on-device text-to-image tool capable of generating images in under a second, even without an internet connection.

      If this feature is included, offline AI image generation on the Galaxy S26 becomes much more user-friendly. You enter a prompt, and the phone creates an image locally, eliminating the need for a server or strong signal. This shifts it from being a novelty to a potentially useful feature.
