Google is beginning to roll out sensitive content warnings designed to give Google Messages users more control over viewing and sharing images that may contain nudity. The safety feature, which was announced last year, will automatically blur images suspected of containing nudity before they’re viewed. 

You’ll see a «speed bump» notification, where you have to stop and choose an option before opening a message, including learning why explicit images can be harmful, getting the chance to block the number immediately, getting the option to click Back or choosing the ability to view the image. It will also remind you of the potential risks of sharing explicit content and help prevent accidental sends.

Google said this process happens entirely on your phone to maintain privacy and ensure end-to-end encrypted messages remain accessible only to the sender and recipient. The company also clarified that it does not have access to image contents, will not know whether nudity actually has been detected and does not send identifiable data to its servers.

In a post on its website, the company acknowledged that the feature «isn’t perfect,» noting: «It may occasionally detect images that don’t contain nudity or not detect images that contain nudity.»

The feature is opt-in for adults via Android settings and enabled by default (opt-out) for users under 18. It will roll out to Android 9 and above, including Android Go devices, with Google Messages.

You’ll now be able to see the full cost of your Airbnb as you browse, including any sneaky cleaning and service fees. The short-term rental company announced it now automatically shows the total cost of a rental before taxes. 

The change comes ahead of a US Federal Trade Commission rule banning hidden fees, which is set to go into effect on May 12. Hotels and booking sites like Expedia will also be subject to the new rule, which called out «bait-and-switch pricing» for mandatory charges like resort fees.

Airbnb users in the US could turn on the «total price display» option manually for the past two years, but now you’ll see the full price by default. 

«With the global rollout of total price display, we’re making it easier for guests to better understand the price they’ll pay, and for hosts to succeed in a more transparent marketplace,» Airbnb said in the press release. The company declined the opportunity to comment further.

Airbnb has faced criticism over the years for advertising one price, then tacking on extra fees for cleaning and more during the checkout process. Transparent pricing allows you to compare prices more easily, so you don’t get the unpleasant surprise that your $150 deal suddenly increased to $225 because of «host fees.»    

The company also announced it’s adding tools to uncover more discounts, like adding extra nights to reduce the total cost of a stay.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 now official, many gamers are likely eyeing up the new handheld console. But if you’re moving over to the newest Switch, it might be worth trading in your old console first. If you trade in an Xbox Series X to GameStop, this deal will see you get $420.69 of store credit. Nice. That’s almost enough to completely cover the price of a new Switch 2, which you can preorder one from GameStop. Of course, you can spend the trade-in credit on anything else that GameStop sells as well.

To get this extra trade-in credit, you’ll need to go to a physical store to trade-in your console. You also need to be a GameStop Pro member in order to get the higher trade-in rate. If you purchase a membership online before you head to the store, you can save $5 on the $25 annual membership — so you’ll pay $20. While GameStop launched this trade-in deal as a half-joke for 4/20, it is valid until April 26.
