Google Home adds scheduling for older Nest thermostats
Google has announced that users of the US and UK versions of the 3rd gen Nest Learning Thermostat and the Nest Thermostat E can now schedule temperature adjustments using the Google Home app. Newer versions of the Nest thermostats already allow you to manually set schedules in the Home app, but those older models required users to keep the dedicated Nest app installed for scheduling.
Google says the feature “began rolling out starting last week” so it may not yet be available to all Nest thermostat users yet. The company originally announced the expanded Google Home support for the older Nest models last April after revealing that it would also end software updates for the first-generation Nest Learning thermostat that launched in 2011, and the second generation model that was released a year later.

Google Messages beta rolling out QR code key verification
As previewed last year, Google Messages is beginning to roll out QR code-based key verification to confirm that you’re “communicating with the person you intend to.”
Once available, open a conversation in Google Messages and open the Details page by tapping their name in the app bar. The End-to-end encryption card has been around for some time, but tapping “Verify encryption” previously just opened a page with an 80-digit code.

Google Translate adds live conversation translation, language practice features
Tech giant Google announced that it has added two new features to Google Translate that allow for real-time conversation translation and tailored language practice.
"Using the advanced reasoning and multimodal capabilities of Gemini models, we’re bringing two new features to Translate to help with live conversations and language learning," Google announced.
The updated Google Translate App supports live, two-way conversations in over 70 languages, including Arabic, French, Hindi, Korean, Spanish, and Tamil, with audio and on-screen translations, a release said.
To try it out, open the Translate App for Android or iOS, tap on “Live translate,” select the languages you want to translate and begin speaking. The translation will be read aloud with an onscreen trannoscript of your conversation in both languages on your device.

Microsoft’s Copilot AI is now inside Samsung TVs and monitors
Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant is officially coming to TVs, starting with Samsung’s 2025 lineup of TVs and smart monitors. With the integration, you can call upon Copilot and ask for movie suggestions, spoiler-free episode recaps, and other general questions.
On TV, Copilot takes on a “friendly, animated presence” that resembles the opalescent Copilot Appearance Microsoft showed off last month, though in a color that makes it look more like a personified chickpea. The beige blob will float and bounce around your screen, while its mouth moves in line with its responses.
Copilot will automatically appear on supported Samsung TVs, where you’ll find it within the Samsung Tizen OS homescreen, Samsung Daily Plus, and Click to Search. You can access Copilot by using a voice command or selecting it with your remote. From there, hit the mic button on your remote, and you can start speaking to Copilot.

Telegram 12.0 & Grok Update
Telegram 12.0 was expected to ship with Grok integration, but as of today (Aug 31, 2025) there’s still no confirmation. The deal appears to have stalled, with no signed agreement or official announcement.
This likely means Grok didn’t make it into 12.0 as planned — possibly due to negotiations falling through, strategy changes, or other delays.
For now, the future of #Grok on #Telegram remains uncertain.
