Google Pay update brings quick shortcut menu with new user interface
Recently, Google released a new version of the Google Pay app which is a complete change from the previous version, and it is no secret that it was not as successful as Google had hoped. Now, the company is adding a new shortcut menu to the Google Pay app.
It looks like rolling out of each account (via-9to5Google) – we can always see the menu in one account, but not in others – this new shortcut menu appears in the app’s main tab and offers four shortcuts in the regular sections of the Google Pay application.
The first shortcut opens your payment settings without touch, allowing you to change cards faster. This functionality is also available with the UI button on the same page, but this new shortcut is easy to understand and accessible.
The following shortcut goes to the send/request money page, another option available under the UI. The “View offers” to the left tab, while the “Track expenditure” group is on the right tab.

These shortcuts are all useless, leading us to believe that they exist to help make features easier to find and understand. We are not yet sure whether this shortcut menu appears regularly, or is it a “start” program to help users read the app.

WhatsApp working on ‘AI Profile Photos’ feature for enhanced privacy
WhatsApp is developing a new feature called AI profile photos to enhance profile images. This new feature has been spotted with the WhatsApp latest beta update (version 2.24.11.17) available on the Google Play Store.
With this new feature, WhatsApp users will be able to create unique and personalized profile photos using AI. Instead of sharing real photos, users can describe the kind of image they want. The AI then creates a custom profile photo based on that description.
Through this feature, WhatsApp aims to enhance privacy by allowing users to avoid sharing personal pictures, reducing the risk of misuse or unauthorized sharing.
This is also beneficial when users are unsure which photo to use, they can simply provide details, and the AI will create a personalized image. No need to spend time searching for the perfect picture.
AI Profile Photos feature is currently under development and will be available in a future update. Previously, WhatsApp introduced a feature to create and share AI stickers. Users will soon be able to create AI-generated photos for their profile.
