Google Messages is now adding a new feature that helps protect users from seeing images that might be upsetting or inappropriate. This feature is called Sensitive Content Warning, and it’s starting to roll out to Android users.

When this warning is turned on, the app will automatically blur images it thinks may contain sensitive or harmful content. You can still choose to view the image by tapping on it, but it gives you the chance to avoid seeing something you don’t want to.

The feature works with both personal and group chats in Google Messages and uses on-device AI to scan the image before showing the warning. This means your private messages stay private — nothing is sent to Google’s servers.

Google says the goal is to help people avoid unwanted or harmful content while still giving them full control over what they want to see. You’ll get a notification when the feature is available, and you can turn it off anytime in the app settings.

This update is part of Google’s larger effort to make its apps safer and more user-friendly. The sensitive content warning is rolling out gradually, so it may take some time to appear on all devices.

YouTube recently had a bug that caused the homepage to appear empty for many users. Instead of the usual video suggestions, the screen showed nothing or very few videos. This issue affected people using different devices like Android phones, iPhones, and web browsers.

The problem seemed to be linked to a server-side issue, not something wrong with users’ devices or apps. Some users said that even restarting the app or clearing the cache didn’t fix the problem.

Google has now confirmed that they’re aware of the issue and are working on a fix. In a response on its community forum, the company said they’ve found the cause and are pushing out a solution. Users should start seeing their homepages return to normal soon.

This bug made YouTube less enjoyable to use, especially for people who rely on the homepage to find new videos. While search and subscriptions still worked, the homepage is a big part of how people discover content.

If your YouTube homepage is still not working, try updating the app or just wait a little—Google says the fix is rolling out gradually. Hopefully, things will go back to normal for everyone shortly.

The Google Pixel 9a is getting a lot of attention, especially for its camera. Even though it’s a mid-range phone, the camera performs surprisingly well. A recent test shows that the Pixel 9a can capture detailed and sharp photos that look just as good as those taken with more expensive phones.

The phone features a 64MP main sensor, which is a big step up from the Pixel 7a’s 64MP sensor in terms of photo clarity and color. The images taken with the Pixel 9a show rich colors and good lighting balance. It also handles shadows and bright areas better than expected. This means users can take great pictures in both sunny and cloudy conditions.

One of the best things about the Pixel 9a is Google’s photo processing. The software adds extra detail and improves brightness, making even low-light photos look good. It’s not quite at the same level as the Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro, but it comes very close.

Even though it’s not a high-end phone, the Pixel 9a proves that a great camera doesn’t have to be expensive. For users who love taking photos but don’t want to spend a lot, this phone is an excellent choice.

Overall, the Pixel 9a offers strong camera performance for its price, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best budget-friendly camera phones of the year.
