If you regularly use Google Maps on your Android or iOS phone while driving, you’ll soon find it much more helpful in big cities – thanks to the arrival of new graphics for 3D buildings. 3D buildings have been available in the Google Maps app for a while in the layers tab (just tap the Layers icon, then 3D). But they haven’t appeared while you’re in navigation mode and traveling between two points – until now. As spotted by 9to5Google and its readers, the Google Maps app for Android and iOS has started showing 3D buildings during navigation for some users – including us. That’s a big boon for finding your way around cities, as it gives you another visual marker to help you spot your next turn. (Image credit: Future) To see buildings in 3D, you need to have the ‘3D’ layer turned on in the app’s ‘Map details’ section. To do this, tap the Layers icon (see […]

Microsoft has renamed its Edge browser, adding a reference to artificial intelligence in the name, at least on mobile formats. As Wccftech reports, Edge for Android and iOS now has a new name: ‘Microsoft Edge: AI Browser’ which is pretty snappy, eh? Sarcasm mode disengaged, this is a clunky name change, at least in our books, though it’s not a surprising decision – one perhaps made with the intention of trying to attract more users to Edge (we’ll come back to that notion).

No changes have been made under the hood alongside the name change, so don’t expect any additional AI functionality in the mobile versions of Edge – this is just a marketing move. Microsoft has made plenty of AI-related tweaks to Edge in […]

It’s time for your daily dose of Quordle hints, plus the answers for both the main game and the Daily Sequence spin off.  Quordle is the only one of the many Wordle clones that I’m still playing now, around 18 months after the daily-word-game craze hit the internet, and with good reason: it’s fun, but also difficult. What’s more, its makers (now the online dictionary Merriam-Webster) are also keeping it fresh in the form of a variant called the Daily Sequence, which sees you complete four puzzles consecutively, rather than concurrently.  But Quordle is tough, so if you already find yourself searching for today’s Wordle answer, you’ll probably need some hints for this game too.  I’m a Quordle and Wordle fanatic who’s been playing since December 2021, so I can definitely help you solve Quordle today and improve your game for tomorrow. Read on for my Quordle hints to game #710 and the answers to the main […]
