Google Terms of service has been updated. The new terms will go live on November 11, 2013. One of the three changes is the Google Shared Endorsements, here is an excerpt about how it works:

To ensure that your recommendations reach the people you care about, Google sometimes displays your reviews, recommendations and other relevant activity throughout its products and services. This sometimes includes shopping contexts, like the Google Play music store, and ads. Your profile name and photo may appear with the recommendation.

Your G+ profile name and photo may appear in Google Ads. But it's easy to opt out.

Last year, Google dropped unlimited backup on WhatsApp photos, and now WhatsApp unlimited backup is about to end. The latest report comes from WABetaInfo, which states that WhatsApp chats will also count against Google Drive storage in the future for Android users.

That means you have to open the document to really know what is inside. But with the latest WhatsApp beta update, the app now displays a rich preview, giving you a glimpse of the content inside. Though for now, the previews are of really low quality as seen above, more updates are coming to improve the quality of the previews. WhatsApp is rolling out this feature to certain beta testers: some of you may be able to use the feature on certain previous beta updates, but the new 2.22.5.11 beta version definitely helps to get the feature.
