Preggie app connects moms-to-be: Get ready to share your random cravings

By Malarie Gokey Published June 4, 2014

Women go through a lot of strange and incredible things when they are pregnant. Not all the what-to-expect-when-you’re-expecting books in the world can possibly offer the support, understanding, and sympathetic ear moms-to-be need in moments of crisis. Social media app Preggie, aims to be the perfect outlet for pregnant ladies. Preggie helps women connect based on their projected due date, similar interests, and other factors, such as age and location.

Signing up for Preggie is very easy and doesn’t even require an email address. All you have to do is create a user name and password, enter the stage of pregnancy that you’re currently in, and then you can browse through other women’s posts to find like-minded moms-to-be. Preggie lets you connect with women who have similar interests, are in your area, and have a due date close to yours. Once you’ve found your new gal pal, you can subscribe to her feed and get to know her virtually. You can also like status updates and comment on posts. If you’re interested in meeting up, you can easily communicate using the app.

Every time you get a crazy craving (pickles and sauerkraut like Mila Kunis) or spy the cutest little baby shoes ever (OMG, they’re SO SMALL!!!) you can post on Preggie about it instead of Facebook. Your non-pregnant and guy friends will thank you for this. The idea behind the app, is that nobody understands a pregnant lady like another woman who is going through the exact same thing.

The people behind Preggie also run a popular site for pregnant women and mothers in Russia, called Baby Blog. The site has 7 million users each month, but it is limited to Russian speakers. The Preggie app is international, though, moms-to-be can connect with each other no matter where they are in the world. Obviously, the more women who use Preggie the more useful it will be for pregnant women. The app just debuted today on the iOS App store, but the company says it is working on an Android version, too. Additionally, the makers of Preggie hope to add another app for mothers with children of all ages in the near future.

The Pixel 11 is almost here, but I’m more excited about what could come with it

Maroon, Text

It’s August, which means one thing if you follow smartphones even remotely closely: new Pixels are almost here. Google is holding its next Made by Google event on August 12, and this year, we’re expecting another packed lineup of phones. The Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are all expected to take the stage. Yes, that’s the same four-phone lineup Google gave us last year, but the interesting part will obviously be what’s changing underneath. Between the usual camera improvements, new hardware, and whatever AI tricks Google has been cooking up, there should be plenty to talk about.

And the phones may only be part of the story. Google is expected to have a few more announcements up its sleeve, making this one of its biggest hardware events of the year. So, if you’re planning to tune in, here’s when the Made by Google event starts, how you can watch it, and everything we expect Google to announce.

OnePlus announces its first ColorOS beta, kicking off the transition from OxygenOS

The OnePlus 15 and 15R are the first phones testing the software, though the beta is currently limited to India.

When OnePlus announced its exit from North America and Europe last month, it also confirmed that all devices eligible for the next platform upgrade would switch from OxygenOS to ColorOS, marking an end to the Android skin that helped define the OnePlus brand for more than a decade. Although it did not share a definite timeline for this switch, OnePlus has now set things in motion by launching a closed ColorOS beta program for the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R.

The beta skips the US and Europe for now

The Galaxy S26 FE has leaked in every color, and at least one has some personality

The Galaxy S26 FE is almost here with an older brain

Samsung's upcoming "budget" flagship has been making the rounds in the rumor mill over the past couple of weeks. From disappointing camera leaks to build refinements, nearly everything about the Galaxy S26 FE has been revealed. Now, another fresh leak has even given us a proper look at the phone along with its color options.

A fresh set of leaked renders from AndroidHeadlines gives us a clear look at the Galaxy S26 FE in all three of its expected color options. The images line up with an earlier color leak pointing to Graphite, Aqua Green, and a third finish sitting somewhere between blue and purple.
