Google Keep is rolling out its new "help me create a list" feature to some more users. This feature uses generative AI to help you create a list.
If "help me create a list" has rolled out to you, you'll see a dialog upon opening the app that informs you. You'll then see a "help me create a list" button when you're creating a new note.
I haven't seen this yet in Google Keep, but let me know if you have it!
According to 9to5Google, this started slowly rolling out to some users since last month.

Samsung may have finally implemented seamless updates on their Android devices! When updating the new Galaxy A55 5G, users have noticed that the software update screen now shows a "downloading and installing" as well as "verification" steps.
In addition, TheMobileIndian reports that upon restarting their A55, they "did not encounter the One UI installation screen [recovery] that we see when we update other Samsung phones."

Vivo T3 launched in India
Vivo T3 has been announced which is the successor of Vivo T2 which was launched last year
NOTHING new is there in it as it features the EXACT same specifications of Vivo's sub-brand iQOO Z9 that was launched JUST 10 days ago
Even the pricing of both the smartphones is SAME!
So instead of making an entirely new smartphone, Vivo called its sub-brand, pulled up a new back-panel design, added the Vivo logo after removing iQOO logo, and called it a day
