[Update: FreeCharge too] Google Play credit can now be bought using Paytm in India

Carrier billing, a process whereby paying for things on Google Play out of the monthly bill from your phone carrier, is a process that is getting infinitely more popular as time goes on. Indian prepaid mobile recharge company Paytm is now offering a slightly different spin on the concept, by allowing a user to buy, or 'recharge' Google Play credit through their Paytm account.
The way this works is pretty simple. Open up the Paytm app, tap on Google Play, and enter the amount of credit you'd like to add to your account. Press buy, and you'll get a Google Play voucher code in a text. Go into the Play Store and tap 'Redeem' from the navigation drawer. Copy and paste the code across and confirm you want to add the money to the account, and you're set.
It's not revolutionary, but if it makes it easier to buy apps, games, music, movies, TV shows, or books on Google Play in India, that's a very good thing. Paytm is not yet listed on the giftcard retailers liston the Google Play support site, however. The Paytm app is available on the Play Store (rather ironically), so if you're in India and like the sound of this, go get it now.

We've received word that FreeCharge can now also recharge Google Play credit in India, taking the total recharge sellers for Google Play credit up to two. This is great news for Indian citizens who may otherwise find it hard to pay for items on the Play Store, although weirdly neither Paytm or FreeCharge are listed on the Google Play support site for India.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

Image

How it works is fairly straightforward. After connecting Linktree to your Instagram profile, you’ll receive a single link to place in your Instagram bio.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
