00:00:36tools to verifying almost independently, from
00:01:08Good evening, technology, and welcome to a new episode of
00:01:11My Tech with me, Marah Khader. In the world
00:01:15of technology, every day there is something new that changes the way
00:01:19we live, communicate, and work.
00:01:21In today's episode of My Tech, we will take you
00:01:25on a tour of technologies that are no longer just for the future, but
00:01:28have become part of our
00:01:32live, everything daily lives, from hidden features in our phones to smart tools that help us protect our children
00:01:36digitally, and free applications that are like having
00:01:39a personal assistant. We will also talk about how artificial
00:01:42intelligence is being used to detect fraud and
00:01:46fake calls, and the latest news and innovations
00:01:49in technology and AI. An episode full of information,
00:01:52tools, and updates that concern every user
00:01:56of technology.
00:02:01New news from Google that concerns users of the
00:02:04Google Messages app. The company is working on bringing back
00:02:08a long-awaited feature, which is displaying the message
00:02:11editing history after it had
00:02:13look at the camera. disappeared from the app during updates last year.
00:02:16The feature was previously available within
00:02:19RCS chats and allowed the sender
00:02:23and receiver to view previous versions of the message after
00:02:26editing it, and to know what changed and when the
00:02:30edit was made. But with the mid-2025 update
00:02:33and after redesigning the message details interface in a simpler
00:02:37and more consistent style with Android, the feature disappeared
00:02:40without official announcement from Google, which raised
00:02:43many users' eyebrows. Recently, specialists in dismantling
00:02:47app updates detected
00:02:49speed is not the number written on clear indications that
00:02:52Google is working on integrating the editing history
00:02:55again within the message details interface, so that
00:02:59the user can
00:03:01instant photos directly from view the original text and subsequent edits in one
00:03:04place and with easy steps.
00:03:06and it encourages The importance of the feature is not just about tracking
00:03:09edits, but it is also related to transparency and trust
00:03:13within the conversation, especially with people nowadays relying on messaging
00:03:17applications for personal and professional communication instead
00:03:20of email. The presence of a message editing
00:03:24history helps to avoid misunderstandings and clarifies
00:03:27the context of the conversation and gives users
00:03:30greater ability to track everything that has been changed
00:03:33instead of just seeing
00:03:35the message after it has been edited.
00:03:40Apple is preparing to compete with Meta
00:03:43with four designs of its smart glasses.
00:03:46According to recent reports, Apple is currently
00:03:49testing four different glasses designs
00:03:52in an attempt to offer diverse options
00:03:55that suit users and increase the product's chances
00:03:59of success in a rapidly growing market. The designs
00:04:02include a large rectangular frame similar to the famous Ray-Ban glasses,
00:04:06in addition to a thinner rectangular frame, as well
00:04:09as two models with an oval or round design, one
00:04:13larger and the other smaller, with multiple color
00:04:16options including black, blue, and light brown.
00:04:20The glasses, which are being developed under the codename N
00:04:2350, are expected to be a direct competitor to the second
00:04:27generation of Ray-Ban Meta glasses. But Apple
00:04:31is betting that what always distinguishes it is its integration with
00:04:34its technological ecosystem. According to leaks, the glasses
00:04:37will allow taking photos and videos, but
00:04:41the required value will be in their deep connection with the iPhone, and this
00:04:44gives the user the ability to edit
00:04:48quickly, the problem may not media, make calls, play music, and even use
00:04:51the Siri voice assistant directly from
00:04:53the glasses.
00:04:58Scientists warn
00:05:01of losing control. Scientists and researchers have warned
00:05:04of unexpected behaviors that may appear in artificial
00:05:08intelligence systems after a new study revealed that ChatGPT
00:05:11sometimes adopts aggressive or threatening language
00:05:14when exposed to conversations characterized by escalation and verbal
00:05:18violence. According to the study, researchers tested the system by
00:05:22placing it in scenarios that simulate real disputes between
00:05:26people, and it was found that responses may become more
00:05:29intense with the escalation of the conversation, and in some
00:05:32cases, using personal insults or direct
00:05:35threats. The researchers indicated that this behavior
00:05:38is related to the model's ability to understand context and adapt to the
00:05:42other party, which sometimes makes it reflect aggression
00:05:45instead of containing it. Although these systems
00:05:48were fundamentally designed to be safe and polite, the study
00:05:52described this as an ethical challenge because
00:05:55developers are striving on one hand to make artificial intelligence
00:05:59more natural in conversation, and on the other hand to keep
00:06:02it within controls that prevent harmful behavior. The researchers
00:06:06warned that these results are not only related
00:06:09to chatbots, but may extend in the future
00:06:13to human-like robots or smart systems used
00:06:17in sensitive areas if the response speed is not precisely
00:06:20بشكل
00:06:21controlled.
00:06:25With the escalation of AI-generated images
00:06:29and the difficulty of distinguishing between them and real images,
00:06:31Google has unveiled a new feature within
00:06:34Gemini that helps users know
00:06:37if images are real or generated
00:06:41by artificial intelligence. The new feature relies on
00:06:45Google's SynthID technology, which is a technology
00:06:48that uses invisible digital watermarks
00:06:51embedded within images that are created or
00:06:54modified by Google's AI tools. And
00:06:58through the Gemini app, users can now upload any
00:07:02image and ask about its origin for the system to analyze
00:07:05it and detect if it was generated by Google's AI tools
00:07:08or not. The feature does not rely on external
00:07:12tools to examine images, but rather works within Gemini itself
00:07:16in a step that aims to enhance transparency
00:07:19and build greater trust in the circulating
00:07:21visual content. And it is noteworthy that Google
00:07:25says that it has tagged more than 20 billion images
00:07:28with this technology since its launch.
00:07:31And
00:07:35with the development of battery technologies, the criterion
00:07:37for the best phone is no longer just battery life,
00:07:41but charging speed has become an essential element for
00:07:44many users. However, technology experts today
00:07:47warn against being deceived by promotional numbers
00:07:50because the watt number alone does not always mean
00:07:54faster charging in reality. According to specialists, the real
00:07:58criterion for measuring charging
00:08:01the box, but rather the phone's performance during the first
00:08:0515 to 30 minutes, and the time it takes to reach
00:08:0880%, in addition to heat management and
00:08:12charging speed. In a list of the most prominent phones expected
00:08:16to excel in fast charging during 2026,
00:08:19OnePlus 50 stands out with a massive battery and
00:08:22120-watt wired charging, alongside Oppo Find
00:08:26X9, which relies on battery capacity
00:08:29and fast charging. As for fans of higher speeds,
00:08:32the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra appears, which reaches
00:08:36125 watts, while the Honor
00:08:39Magic 7 Pro offers a powerful mix of wired and wireless
00:08:43fast charging. On the other hand, the iPhone 70
00:08:47Pro Max continues to compete in a different way because
00:08:50it relies on power management efficiency more than the numbers race.
00:09:20In a new step that reflects the escalating global competition
00:09:23in artificial intelligence, DeepMind announced the launch
00:09:26of its new model, Deep Mind V4,
00:09:29with capabilities that the company says will place it in direct
00:09:33competition with OpenAI's models.
00:09:36The new model came with context support that reaches a million
00:09:39tokens, which means a great ability to process
00:09:43huge amounts of information within a single conversation or task,
00:09:47in addition to a clear focus on reducing cost
00:09:50and increasing efficiency. The company launched the model
00:09:53in two versions, Pro and Flash, with the Pro version targeting advanced
00:09:57tasks, especially in programming, mathematics, and the development
00:10:00of smart agents, while the Flash version offers
00:10:04similar performance but at a lower cost, which
00:10:07makes it an economical choice for developers.
00:10:11According to the company, the Pro version includes about
00:10:141.6 trillion parameters, meaning it reflects
00:10:18a significant leap in the size of the model and its capabilities,
00:10:21with performance said to be close to some advanced Gemini
00:10:25models in some tests. And in a new
00:10:28development in the AI race, OpenAI announced
00:10:32the launch of its new model, GPT
00:10:355.5, which the company described
00:10:37as the smartest and easiest to use yet. The new
00:10:41model focuses on what is known as smart agents,
00:10:45meaning systems capable of performing tasks
00:10:48almost independently. The new model
00:10:51focuses on what is known as smart agents,
00:10:55meaning systems capable of performing tasks
00:10:59planning and using
00:11:01results and completing the task without the need for step-by-step
00:11:05user guidance. According to the company,
00:11:08GPT 5.5 offers significant
00:11:11improvements in programming, debugging code, analyzing
00:11:15data, and preparing documents, in addition to performing complex
00:11:18multi-stage tasks with higher
00:11:22efficiency than previous versions.

00:13:03Instagram is bringing spontaneity back to social media
00:13:06with its new Instants feature.
00:13:10Instagram is testing a new feature
00:13:13called Instants, which refocuses on sharing spontaneous
00:13:17and instant moments in a different way than traditional content on the platform.
00:13:20The new feature allows users to share
00:13:26the camera without significant edits or filters,
00:13:31spontaneous and daily content instead
00:13:33of polished and pre-prepared photos. According
00:13:37to reports, some posts via Instants are temporary
00:13:41and disappear after viewing or within 24 hours,
00:13:45with the possibility of sharing them within a close circle
00:13:48of friends. The feature is described as a step by
00:13:52Meta to compete with apps that rely on instant
00:13:55sharing and revive the concept of spontaneous
00:13:59communication within Instagram. Follow-ups indicate that Instants
00:14:03is still in the testing phase in a limited number of markets,
00:14:07and with expectations of its expansion. Imagine
00:14:10if your phone was no longer just a device you use, but
00:14:13a smart assistant that understands you, anticipates your needs,
00:14:17and performs your tasks. This is not science fiction, because
00:14:21new reports say that OpenAI is developing a smart phone
00:14:25powered by artificial intelligence that we will see in markets by
00:14:282028. According to reports, OpenAI
00:14:32is not thinking of entering the phone market in the traditional
00:14:35way, but rather is betting on a completely
00:14:39different experience. The expected phone relies on
00:14:42the concept of AI agents, or artificial
00:14:45intelligence agents, which are smart systems that do not
00:14:48just help, but rather act on your behalf and perform
00:14:52tasks. This means that instead of opening apps for love,
00:14:55messaging, organizing appointments, or searching, you can ask
00:14:58your phone to do the task, and it will take care
00:15:01of the rest.
00:15:06Mobile secrets to extend battery life. If your phone's
00:15:09battery drains
00:15:13be the battery itself, but rather settings that we do not
00:15:16pay attention to. The first secret is adaptive battery or smart
00:15:20battery management found in many Android
00:15:23phones, which uses artificial intelligence to learn
00:15:26the apps you use frequently and reduces
00:15:30the consumption of background apps. Second,
00:15:33activate power saving mode before the battery reaches a low
00:15:37percentage, not after it weakens, because
00:15:40this reduces the draining of the processor and unnecessary
00:15:43services. The third secret is to lower the screen
00:15:46brightness or activate automatic brightness because
00:15:50the screen is one of the most power-consuming things.
00:15:53Also, among the important secrets is to stop background
00:15:56app refresh and disable location.
