Microsoft Notifies 365 Admins of Google’s Upcoming Anti-Spam Measures
Microsoft is sending out warnings to its 365 email users about changes coming their way. These changes are due to new anti-spam rules set by Google. If 365 administrators don’t keep up with these new rules, their emails might be flagged as spam or not delivered at all.
The new guidelines set by the American tech leader require email senders, especially those sending out many emails, to follow certain rules. If not, there are risks to their email deliverability. Microsoft suggests that if there are any issues, administrators might want to consider using their own servers or finding another service to send out their emails.
It’s also worth noting that while Google plans to enforce these rules from February 1st, 2024, Microsoft is already taking steps to prepare its users. The main advice from Microsoft is to set up proper email authentication. This helps in making sure emails aren’t seen as spam by big email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and even Outlook.com.
For those who send out lots of emails, this step is vital. Proper email authentication helps in making sure these emails get to their destination. It protects the reputation of email campaigns and ensures they are delivered as intended.
For a detailed look at these new rules, users can check out the official anti-spam guidelines.

Android 14 Update is Now Live for Pixel Devices
Google’s Pixel devices are now receiving the much-awaited Android 14 update. This follows a preview program that began in February, where several previews and betas were issued. If you own a Pixel 4a 5G or a later model, you can download this latest Android version.
It’s not just Pixel users who can look forward to this update. Companies like Samsung, iQOO, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, vivo, and Xiaomi plan to release Android 14 updates for their devices soon.
A highlight of Android 14 is its customization features. Google had hinted at these earlier, and now they are a reality. Generative AI wallpapers are making their debut on Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, backed by advanced text-to-image diffusion models.
Lock screen personalization has also leveled up. Users can change font styles, choose from different color palettes, and add custom widget shortcuts. This makes it quick and easy to access tools like the QR reader or the Google Home app. There’s even a new feature where the home screen templates adjust dynamically. For instance, if there’s a storm approaching, the weather app widget becomes more noticeable.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate Android 14’s support for HDR images. The Ultra HDR feature enhances photo quality, making pictures look more vibrant. Audio enhancements are also part of the package, with the inclusion of native spatial audio support, a new media player, and a cross-device copy/paste function.
Prioritizing user privacy and security, Android 14 introduces Health Connect. This feature securely stores and encrypts personal health data directly on the device. Users will now also receive alerts if apps want to share location data with third parties, and they have the option to decline such requests.
Improvements extend to passkey features. Android 14 offers enhanced support for fingerprint authentication in external apps. Additionally, there’s a revamped 6-digit PIN lockscreen option.
Accessibility has also been a focus for this update. Users can now magnify content more effectively using the pinch-to-zoom feature and select from various magnification sizes. The quick settings menu offers faster font size adjustments using nonlinear scaling, which makes text easier to read. Hearing aid users will find the dedicated setup in the Accessibility settings beneficial, along with expanded options to direct audio to different outputs.
