ChatGPT lets you try clothes on using a selfie

OpenAI launched a virtual try-on button inside ChatGPT's shopping results, letting users upload a photo to see how clothes or accessories look on them, powered by the new ChatGPT Images 2.5 model.

In simple terms
Online clothes shopping has always been a guessing game, like buying shoes without trying them on. This gives us a rough preview of fit and style before we commit to a purchase.

Apple locks down Mac disk access over AI agent risks

Apple is tightening macOS Full Disk Access controls after AI agents were found reading files, messages, and browsing history without clear user consent. Going forward, granting that access will require explicit user action.

In simple terms
Full Disk Access hands an app the keys to everything on a Mac, like giving a stranger a master key to every room in our house. Apple making that harder to grant by accident is a direct response to AI assistants quietly reading more than we realized.

Pixel 10a jumps $100 overnight, now costs $599

Google quietly raised the Pixel 10a's price from $499 to $599, with the 256GB model now $699. No official explanation was given, though rising memory costs are pushing prices up across the Android market.

In simple terms
This is the same phone it was last week, at a 20% higher price. Anyone considering a mid-range Android right now is looking at a market where even the budget options are quietly getting more expensive, and that trend is not limited to Google.

WhatsApp tests feature that keeps chats on your phone only

➤ WhatsApp is testing Restricted Chat, a new setting that locks selected conversations to your main phone so they won't appear on WhatsApp Web, linked tablets, or other connected devices.
➤ It also blocks third-party apps and AI tools from accessing those messages.
➤ The feature is in beta now for Android and iOS, with no confirmed release date yet.

In simple terms
If you use WhatsApp on multiple devices, you can now keep sensitive conversations private to just your phone. The setting also keeps existing protections: chats can't be exported, photos won't auto-save to your gallery, and Meta AI features stay disabled.

Open Gemini Settings and turn on 'Use Guided Vision in Live'.

2. Start a Live session and share your camera

Callback scams now make up 45% of email scams reported

→ A callback scam arrives as a message about a failed payment or urgent charge, but instead of a suspicious link it contains only a phone number.
→ When you call, you reach a criminal posing as a bank or government body.
→ This type of scam has grown from 29% to 45% of reported email scams between 2025 and 2026, precisely because it slips past the instinct most people have trained themselves to apply to links.

In simple terms
If a message you did not expect asks you to call a number, do not use that number. Find the organisation's contact details on their official website or app and call from there instead. If you suspect you have already spoken to a scammer, contact your bank immediately.
