Gmail is rolling out a handy new “Manage subscriptions” page that allows users to unsubscribe from email subscriptions with a single tap, though it appears to only be on Android so far. A notice in the app shows to inform users of the new option, with a “Manage subscriptions” button in the overflow menu. The new page, which was previously spotted just over a year ago, lists out email addresses and names for your email subscriptions. It also shows how many emails were sent “recently.” A button to the right side of the display then allows users to quickly unsubscribe from emails from that sender. In our testing so far, this generally works in a single click, though a small number of the ones we tried did pop up a browsing window to complete the process. Google adds that it “can take senders a few days to stop sending messages” after you use the unsubscribe shortcut.
Gboard’s new design to feature iOS keyboard’s version of ‘flicking’ keys to enter symbols in the form of a toggle
According to an APK teardown done by Android Authority, an upcoming beta version of Gboard looks to be bringing on a few new features. The biggest one is something we see in Apple’s version of a digital keyboard. When typing, swiping down or “flicking” a key will pull down a symbol or number, allowing you to easily select a secondary character without having to break up momentum to tap and hold. The action comes naturally after some practice and works phenomenally well, if executed correctly. In Gboard, this new feature is found in a toggle labeled “flick keys to enter symbols.” It’s unclear whether this feature will work with numbers in the top row of the keyboard or only symbols. It’d be a little nonsensical to allow for only symbols to be “flicked” into the text bar. It’s also strange that this feature borrows terminology from iOS, though “flicking” would imply an upward swipe, not a downward one as described. Gboard is also adding a toggle for keeping the number row active in password layouts. This is accompanied by prompt entry in the writing tools tab, as well as rounded keys in Gboard.

Ibanera’s onboarding and AML compliance solution adopts a layered and tokenized design that replaces sensitive data with unique identifiers and makes compliance traceable and verifiable across complex networks of users
Digital banking platform Ibanera announced the launch of its ‘Nested Compliance’. Produced by the company CEO, Michael Carbonara, the infrastructure directly combats current risks faced by the Fintech and Banking as a Service (BaaS) industry. The framework differs from current financial compliance processes by automating KYC and AML processes while adopting a layered and tokenized design that embeds compliance across its vast customer network. Ibanera’s new Nested Compliance concept introduces high-level automation for KYC and AML processes for operational efficiency. The upgraded system uses API-driven, real-time compliance monitoring with early warning triggers for expiring KYC, automated counterparty verification, and embedded reporting to speed up processes and keep detailed records for audit purposes. The framework also debuts a unique design that tokenizes compliance. Sensitive data is replaced with unique identifiers, minimizing PII (Personally Identifiable Information) exposure risk. The tokenized design also creates a system where compliance is traceable and verifiable across complex networks of users, simplifying financial relationships and the overall compliance process. Through this, layered transactions are secure, monitored, and compliant with FATF, FINCEN, and global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. The new Nested Compliance protocol is being rolled out on Ibanera’s ecosystem this year and is available for customers and partners. Key updates include real-time risk assessments of counterparty data, along with ongoing AML checks to prevent illicit activities within nested payment structures.
