Galaxy AI: Any Android, iOS phone can try it now. Here’s how.

AI-powered message drafting on the Samsung Galaxy S24

Android and iOS users can test out the Galaxy AI experience before shelling out for a brand new phone.

This week Samsung announced a way to try the new Galaxy AI features that come with the Galaxy S24 Series without actually owning one. Galaxy AI is part of the Samsung One UI 6.1 update, which is pre-loaded on the Galaxy S24 Series and coming soon to the S23 series.

The Try Galaxy app lets users play around with Galaxy AI features like Live Translate, Chat Assist, Note Assist, Photo Assist, and Google's Circle to Search, "so that those still on the fence can experience Galaxy AI without changing phones," said the announcement.

Previously, Try Galaxy was for iOS users as a way of luring them to the Android side. But the app was updated with Galaxy AI features and made available to all Galaxy users so they can see whether the update lives up to the hype. "AI everything" was the unequivocal theme at this year's Samsung Unpacked. That included packing the Galaxy S24 Series with on-device AI features for live translating, drafting and summarizing messages, and editing photos.

Try Galaxy is essentially a simulation of the S24 series interface with Galaxy AI. It also comes with tutorials, interactive content, and demo videos to break down how to use the features.

To try out Galaxy AI, go to www.trygalaxy.com on your phone's browser and follow the instructions. From there, you can open the app and start playing around with the features. The app runs on Android OS smartphones with the latest version of Chrome, and iOS 14 or higher on Safari.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...
