YouTube Music update - YouTube Music app icon on an Android smartphone
Update, July 18, 2019 (04:30 PM ET): Today, YouTube Music introduced a new feature that allows you to seamlessly switch between listening to a song and watching the video for that song. Previously, you’ve been able to do one or the other but once you start you either need to finish the track that way or stop the track and restart it in a different format.
With this new feature, you could be watching a music video and decide you only want to listen instead. By hitting a new toggle switch, YouTube will switch to the music-only version of that track and remember your song position so you don’t lose your spot. You can swap back and forth like this as

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.

We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

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
