Wunderlist Users Don’t Have Much Longer To Transfer Tasks To Microsoft To Do
Wunderlist was one of the best and most popular to do list apps available for quite some time, which made the announcement of them being acquired by Microsoft in 2015 so unfortunate for many. The acquisition meant that the app that everyone knew and love would eventually go away, being replaced by a new app that still hasn’t matched Wunderlist’s quality.
Those who have been hanging on to Wunderlist don’t have much longer to transfer their tasks to its successor, as Microsoft announced today that you have until June 30th to do so. The Wunderlist app itself will be shut down on May 6th, which essentially means that all syncing will cease. You’ll still have over a month to get your information into Wunderlist, but beyond that point all of your tasks will be gone.
The following is the process for transferring your tasks from Wunderlist to To Do:
1. Download the Microsoft To Do app.
2. Sign in with your Microsoft account. If you don’t have one, you can create one using an existing email address (like Gmail).
3. Click on the pop-up in Microsoft To Do, or head to Settings and select Import. It’ll direct you to the Wunderlist importer.
While it’s unfortunate that this great app will soon be gone, I don’t think anyone expected that it would still be available for five years following its acquisition by Microsoft. In that time, the same team who made Wunderlist has been working to make Microsoft To Do a reasonable facsimile thereof, and it’s certainly a lot better now than it was in its first couple of years of life. The addition of folders, subtasks and due dates made it much more useful, though the whole UI still isn’t as nice as Wunderlist’s.
Despite being an app owned by Microsoft, To Do is also available for iOS, macOS, Android and Web along with Windows 10. The developers have done a good job of updating the app with new features on a regular basis, including a complete UI overhaul late last year to make it appear similar to Wunderlist. There’s certainly more work to be done, but there’s at least some hope that To Do will eventually become the app that Wunderlist diehards want it to be.
Google has recently used CES as a platform to present its philosophy of “Better Together,” the notion that all devices should get along with one another. Typically, this entails making announcements regarding new Cast compatibility and features like Fast Pair. The business revealed that it is collaborating with Spotify to incorporate the Connect streaming capability into the Android UI at CES 2023. Additionally, it showed a sneak peek at an audio handoff tool that would recommend various devices to shift your music to based on your preferences and location.
However, CES is a significant vehicle event, and Google also sells items for cars. Additionally, it said today that the Polestar 3 would receive its higher-resolution maps, and it debuted the most recent Android Auto user interface for the first time since it was revealed at I/O 2022.
Two vehicles, a Volvo EX90 with Google preinstalled and a BMW i7 with the new Android Auto experience, were at the Google stand in the trailer lot of the Las Vegas Convention Center. We had never seen the Volvo before, and we’ll be posting a separate hands-on on that experience shortly. The new Android Auto is the main topic of this article and video.
The redesigned interface will support larger screen sizes and have a split screen layout, as we discovered at I/O. Google has eliminated the status bar and inserted a row of shortcut keys below it, along with some indication icons in a small area to the top left. When we were in the car, the Spotify app was located on the left panel, and we could access a list of suggested playlists by swiping in from the right side.
Alerts that you won’t have time to respond to while driving are likewise stored in this left pane. For instance, you can swipe right on a notification to move it to the dock, where it will wait until you’re ready to deal with it.
Check out the video up top for more of our experience with the updated Android Auto in the BMW i7! And be sure to pay attention this week as there will be a ton of news at CES 2023.
Additionally, stand-alone groups will now have access to 32-person video chats.
One of the new features that WhatsApp is introducing is one that aims to group together related group chats. The Communities feature, which was introduced earlier this year by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, aims to let users consolidate group chats “under one umbrella with a structure that works for them.” For Facebook and Instagram, comparable technologies are under development.
In the upcoming months, communities will be accessible to all WhatsApp users. To discuss topics that are important to you, you can create smaller group chats inside a community and easily switch between them. WhatsApp will provide administrators with “strong new capabilities” to govern communities, including the capacity to select which groups to include and the option to broadcast announcements to all users.
WhatsApp suggests that communities may be created through local areas, workplaces, and parents with children attending the same school. To begin, select the Communities tab from the menu at the top of the Android app or the bottom of the iOS screen. You will have the option of building a community from scratch or expanding an existing one.
The Communities feature has some similarities to Facebook Groups (as well as Nextdoor and Discord), but it is protected by end-to-end encryption. Making group chats more like Facebook Groups, where false information has thrived in recent years, may have some drawbacks, even though Zuckerberg has been eying a community-driven model to lessen the reliance on feeds across Meta’s applications. Due to the platform’s focus on encryption, WhatsApp generally has fewer moderation capabilities, which may make it harder to keep a lid on fabrications.
In other places, WhatsApp is giving groups—including those that aren’t connected to a community—new functionality. Group polls are also being added, along with support for the 32-person encrypted video conversations that Meta has been beta-testing over the past few weeks. Furthermore, groups now support a maximum of 1,024 people.
Numerous apps are available for music, which has the power to uplift individuals. The top Android music player apps are listed here!
Nowadays, private music collections are uncommon due to music streaming. A personal music collection is still beneficial to many people, though. Higher-quality music is available; it is offline-compatible and doesn’t require a subscription. Thankfully, there are several options available for grooving out to your favorite music. Here are our top choices for Android music player apps.
