FotoField/Shutterstock When you open a YouTube video, you may encounter a label right above a comment that says “Highlighted Commented” in dark gray letters on a light gray background. Highlighted comments serve a slightly different purpose than pinned comments, which are displayed at the top of the comments section below the video and are selected by the creators. Highlighted comments are actually user-specific ones that YouTube highlights, making them easier to see. No other user can see these highlighted comments, unlike pins, which everyone sees. You can think of this…

On this week’s special episode of The Woozad Show, we talk about all the major announcements Apple revealed at WWDC 2026, including Siri AI, new Apple Intelligence features in apps, and system-wide performance and design improvements. Apple structured the talk around three areas: platform improvements, trust and security, and a radical overhaul of Apple Intelligence and Siri. Developer betas for all six operating systems are available now, with a public beta expected in July and a general release in September. Liquid Glass has received a series of improvements in response to user feedback, with Apple reworking the basics of how…
Albert Garrido/Shutterstock Google’s efforts for the new Google Home speaker finally seem to be reaching a fever pitch, as older Nest Audio and Nest Mini speaker models have started to quietly go out of stock. Additionally, stores like Best Buy appear to have put Nest Audio devices on clearance, offering a significant discount when purchasing these smart speakers. Google has yet to officially reveal a release date for the new Google Home speaker, which will rely entirely on Gemini’s integration into Google Home, another major advancement that the company revealed…
During the WWDC 2026 keynote, Apple took a big step toward upcoming Apple Intelligence features first promised a few years ago. Unlike other WWDC keynotes where the company moves from iOS to iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS and sometimes tvOS, this time Apple decided to talk extensively about iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate via AI features. Even though it didn’t give watchOS 27 an opening time, it seems to be one of the most attractive updates for Apple Watch models. After all, the company is doubling down on Siri AI for its…
One of the main features of iOS 26 was the new Liquid Glass design, the first major overhaul since iOS 7. Apple made all UI elements transparent, including tabs, buttons, and menus. Liquid Glass also featured lighting effects, with light reflected and refracted by digital surfaces. But Liquid Glass’s design drew widespread criticism from users, starting with the first beta of iOS 26. The transparent menus were difficult to read in some apps, like Music and Control Center, so Apple tried to fix the problem. Subsequent beta versions of iOS 26 increased the opacity,…
Apple quietly removed the Walkie-Talkie app from the Apple Watch in the first developer beta of watchOS 27, with the app disappearing from both the apps list and Control Center. The Walkie Talkie launched with watchOS 5 in 2018 and allowed Apple Watch users to send push-to-talk voice messages to each other over Wi-Fi or cellular using the FaceTime infrastructure. Unlike traditional walkie-talkies, it worked at any distance, making it a new way to communicate without picking up an iPhone. Despite the feature’s promise at launch, Apple has given it very little attention in the years since, with no significant…
Mr. Bije/Shutterstock Webcams are a great tool for recording videos or communicating with family, friends and colleagues through apps like FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Zoom or Slack. However, hackers can turn them against you by turning them into spies. This is not a common occurrence, but it happens. This is called camfecting, and it happens when someone remotely accesses your webcam without your knowledge. They can achieve this in several ways, including using phishing or exploiting an outdated router or weak Wi-Fi password to gain access to devices on your network.…
Apple Music brings high-resolution lossless audio to tvOS 27, in addition to standard lossless audio. Apple says subscribers with compatible external speaker outputs will be able to enjoy their favorite songs in the best audio quality and experience studio-quality sound directly through their Apple TV 4K. As of tvOS 26, Apple TV 4K supports Apple Music Lossless audio up to 24-bit/48kHz, but does not support high-resolution lossless playback (above 48kHz or up to 24-bit/192kHz). Lossless audio refers to a form of compression that preserves all of the original data, which can result in an enhanced listening experience, although the extent…
Ja Dunbar/Getty Images Apple made many big announcements at WWDC26, including many incredible features coming to iOS 27. The new Siri AI (Apple has confirmed that this version of Siri will work on Google’s Gemini) will be the main breadwinner of this operating system. But only if you can use it. The feature list for the upcoming Siri AI assistant includes some fine print: You can only use Siri if your Apple device supports Apple Intelligence. This will include the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, the iPhone 16 and…
Wongsakorn 2468/Shutterstock Apple unveiled its latest software innovations during the WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, announcing performance improvements across all of its operating systems and significant upgrades to Apple Intelligence, including a new Siri experience and the Siri AI app. Additionally, Apple also announced compatibility details for its 27 series operating systems, including iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple surprised older iPhone users, revealing that the iOS 27 update will support the iPhone 11 series, released in 2019, despite rumors that these handsets would remain on iOS 26. However, iPad…
