Facebook Messenger already gives users the ability to make video calls, share photos, audio, text, GIFs, and more with friends, and now it can officially play games, too. In early June, the Doodle Draw became the first game available on the messaging platform. Similar to Draw Something, Doodle Draw suggests something to draw, and after your draw it onto your screen, it will then send to the friend you’re messaging. If your friend guesses what you drew, you will both get points.

Your 15-minute reading habit could now earn you money in Singapore
Your endless scrolling habit finally has some financial competition.
Tap the top of the screen of your Kindle to bring up the menu interface.

I have plenty of apps on my phone reminding me to drink water, stand up, exercise, and stop staring at the screen. Singapore is taking a slightly different approach: instead of another reminder telling people what to do, it's adding a reward. The country has launched a new initiative designed to turn reading into a daily habit. Spend at least 15 minutes reading, record the session through the government's platform, and you'll receive 20 virtual coins.

Collect 1,000 of them, and you can exchange them for S$ 1, or roughly 80 cents in the US. Since only one reading session counts each day, reaching that first dollar takes 50 days. Nobody is getting rich here, obviously. But that's what makes the idea interesting. The cash functions more like the achievement badge or daily streak you'd find in an app, except this one tries to pull your attention away from the screen.

After eight betas, Galaxy S26 is getting the Android 17 update
Samsung Galaxy S26

Galaxy S26 owners have watched Samsung release beta after beta, launch newer phones with finished software, and even start testing that same update on last year's flagships. Thankfully, their turn has finally arrived. Samsung has begun rolling out the stable Android 17-based One UI 9 update to the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, with the rollout starting in South Korea.

Reports from users indicate that beta participants are among the first to receive the finished build, identified by firmware ending in BZI6. Wider availability should follow in phases, as Samsung typically varies rollout timing by region and carrier.

Galaxy A18 gets long software support, but Samsung made one strange omission
Samsung Galaxy A18 4G

Samsung has quietly launched another inexpensive Galaxy phone, and its most impressive specification has nothing to do with the processor, camera, or display. The Galaxy A18 will receive six generations of operating-system upgrades and six years of security updates, giving Samsung’s latest affordable phone an unusually long software runway.

It also ships with Android 17-based One UI 9 out of the box. While this sounds like a great deal for users who only upgrade after a couple of years, Samsung has only launched the 4G version right now.
