“Google did it again. It is shutting down one of the most popular features across its product universe: Google Photo’s free unlimited storage. The company said that it’s ending this service from June 1, 2021. After that date, all photos uploaded will count against your free data limit of 15GB.”
“Telegram is introducing end-to-end encrypted video calls on its platform as the chat app completes seven years. Right now the feature will be available in alpha mode on its Android app, while iOS users might have to wait for a little while to get this feature.”
“Ever since the pandemic lockdown began, I’ve video-chatted more than I ever have before. If it’s not Google Meet with colleagues, it’s Zoom hangouts with friends and FaceTime with family.”
“Duo’s end to end encrypted calling is getting a new video codec to improve call quality and reliability. You can now take a photo with the person you’re chatting with, so you can create memories together.”
“It’s a mystery to us why, but large software operations like Google and Microsoft like to rename products and merge or diverge multiple solutions into new ones all the time.”

“Hangouts Meet, a Google video conferencing/meeting service from 2017 you likely have never used because it has been an exclusive to G Suite customers, will operate under a new name going forward. Say hello to Google Meet.”
“Now that we’re all stuck at home thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, video calls have gone from a novelty to a necessity. Zoom, the popular videoconferencing service, seems to be doing better than most and has quickly become one of, if not the most, popular option going. But should it be?”
“Following a report yesterday suggesting Instagram was adding support for videos up to 1 hour in length, TechCrunch now offers additional details on the company’s video plans. The report likens Instagram’s video plans to Snapchat’s Discover feature…”
“Instagram influencers and users can now post videos that last up to 60 seconds, up from an earlier cap of 15 seconds. The change is launching on iOS and Android today and should be available to all users within the coming months.”
