Gmail added a preview of video clips to chat

Gmail added a preview of video clips to chat

Another news is coming to our Gmail service, this time it is related to chat.

Namely, Google has slightly improved the chat on its popular Gmail service, so it is now possible to watch the video directly on the chat!

Yes, you don't have to open a link to a clip that someone sends you, just watch it here, in Gmail.

When you get a link from a Youtube video clip, that video clip will appear at the top of the chat window and you just click "Play" and watch it.

If you do not want to watch the clip, simply click on the "X" to turn it off.

For now, this novelty is not available on Google+, but it will be introduced soon.

More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

Google offline maps - instructions

Google has recently added several new features to its maps, including Offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It was these two options that were missing so that Google Maps  that could be used as a standalone offline navigation app.

If you buy a used phone from an unknown person, or even from a known person, you must always check the phone for any damage - visible or hidden. But what all needs to be checked? How? That is exactly what I am writing in this article!
