Google has started rolling out its Loss of Pulse Detection for the Pixel Watch 3 users in the US.

The rollout started on Tuesday as part of the latest Personal Safety Wear OS app update, version 2025.03.19.x (via 9To5Google). It's a gradual rollout that will become fully available over the next few weeks, so if you're not seeing it yet, keep checking back.

The feature works by using heart-rate sensors on the part of the Pixel Watch that touches your skin. If it detects the absence of a pulse, it will vibrate and send you a message asking if you're okay. If you don't respond within 15 seconds, the Pixel Watch will "play a loud sound and start a countdown," according to the Pixel Watch support page. After this it will call emergency services, sharing an automated message and your location. Loss of pulse can occur from several issues, including "cardiac arrest, respiratory or circulatory failure, overdose, or poisoning," the page read.

Loss of Pulse Detection for the Pixel Watch 3 received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February and was initially slated for release in late March. It has been available in the EU since September of last year.

To enable Loss of Pulse Detection, go to the Google Pixel Watch app on your phone then tap Safety & Emergency. From there, tap Loss of Pulse Detection to set up the feature. Your Pixel Watch 3 must be updated to the latest version for this to work.

This is one of several health and safety features Google has developed for the Pixel and Pixel Watch. Previously, it launched fall detection and irregular heartbeat monitoring.

SAVE $60: Amazon and B&H Photo have the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M4) on sale for just $1,139 as of April 9. That's 5% off its $1,199 sticker price and its best price yet.

Quick links: Amazon Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $1,139 (save $60) Get Deal B&H Photo Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $1,139 (save $60) Get Deal

Coming in $100 cheaper than its predecessor, Apple's new M4 MacBook has garnered high praise for its competitive pricing. (To quote Senior Editor Stan Schroeder: It's "the best-buy Apple laptop, period.") But President Donald Trump's new tariffs have thrown that into limbo.

Experts are torn on whether the tariffs will make MacBook prices skyrocket, according to several who spoke with our sister site, CNET. In the worst-case scenario for shoppers, Apple could raise its prices directly in line with the latest 104% total tariff rate on goods imported from China, where most of its tech is made. In a better-case scenario, Apple could eat some of the tariff costs and bump its prices by about 10% to stay competitive. There's also a slim chance that MacBook prices could eventually drop if consumer demand is low enough amid price hikes.

All of that being said, now is an especially good time to buy a new M4 MacBook (if you were already thinking about upgrading, that is — don't panic-buy). You're not just getting ahead of possible tariff-related price changes: You can also lock in one of the M4 MacBook's best prices since launch.

As of April 9, the 15-inch midnight model with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is on sale for just $1,139 at Amazon and B&H Photo — a new all-time low that saves you $60. That beats its price during last month's Amazon Big Spring Sale by $10, for what it's worth.

SEE ALSO: Apple M4 MacBook Air review: A really good deal

The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is our newest Mashable Choice Award-winner, earning a 4.5/5 rating from Mashable's Schroeder, who tested a configuration with 1TB of storage. It "put my 16-inch MacBook Pro to shame in so many ways that I'm wondering if I should just switch to the Air the next time around," he said, calling out its upgraded 12MP Center Stage camera and its quiet yet "impressively powerful" performance. Its M4 chip notched a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 14,992, which makes it the fourth-fastest laptop we've ever tested after the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro ($1,599), the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro ($1,799), and the Lenovo Legion 9i ($4,485).

Open-lid support for two external displays is another notable M4 Air upgrade. Its M3 counterpart also worked with two monitors plugged in, but you couldn't use the laptop itself at the same time.

Amazon doesn't specify an end time to its discount, but note that B&H Photo's deal is only live through 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 10.

Market analysts braced for a potential repeat of "Black Monday" over the weekend — a crash of such magnitude it was being compared to the infamous 1987 global financial meltdown. While President Trump’s tariffs continued to weigh on the stock market, a full-blown crash never materialized.

Interestingly, one key factor in averting disaster may have been misinformation from an obscure account on Elon Musk’s X.

Walter Bloomberg

When the stock market opened on Monday, it was heading straight for a decline — but then, a sudden 10 percent surge defied expectations. Analysts were left wondering: What caused this turnaround?

The answer seemed to lie in reports that the White House was considering a 90-day pause on President Trump’s tariffs. The initial claim was attributed to Trump’s economic advisor, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, but no one could verify where he had said it. Instead, the report appeared to have gained traction through a post on X by an account named Walter Bloomberg, which has over 850,000 followers.

"Trump is considering a 90-day pause in tariffs for all countries except China," Walter Bloomberg posted in all-caps alongside an alarm emoji.

It turns out that this wasn't true. The White House quickly dispelled these reports, calling them "fake news."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Despite the correction, the damage was done: the market had reacted to the false report, sparking the unexpected rally.

Walter Bloomberg, who is unaffiliated with the financial media company Bloomberg, is known for posting Bloomberg Terminal-style headlines throughout the day on his X account @DeItaone (note: the third letter in his handle is a capital "I," not a lowercase "l"). With a paid blue checkmark and a rapidly growing following, many users appear to have mistaken Walter Bloomberg for a legitimate news source.

It remains unclear where Walter Bloomberg got his information. In a reply to another user on X, he claimed to have seen the news on Reuters, but as Guardian journalist Robert Mackey pointed out, the timing didn’t add up — Reuters’ story was published after Walter Bloomberg’s post.

Hammer Capital

While the Walter Bloomberg post was likely the biggest misinformation spreader, numerous reports, like one from CNN, found that the first mention of this false news came from the X account @yourfavorito, which goes by the name Hammer Capital. The account has less than 1,000 followers. However, it does have the paid blue checkmark, which likely led some users to believe it was a credible source. In response to inquiries, Hammer Capital claimed to have gotten the story from CNBC, but again, the timing of CNBC’s headline did not match the original X posts.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

So how did this all start? The most plausible explanation is that the misinformation stemmed from a misinterpretation of an interview with Hassett, who appeared on Fox News earlier that day. Reporter Aaron Rupar had clipped a portion of the interview, and in the rush to report it as news, X users may have misunderstood the quotes. Notably, the full clip didn’t leave room for the same misinterpretation.

It’s also possible that these X accounts fabricated the misinformation entirely. Since Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (now X) and the subsequent changes to the platform's verification system — allowing anyone to purchase a blue checkmark for $8 per month — the platform has become a hotbed for misinformation.

Regardless of the origin, the impact of this fake news was undeniable. The false tariff report played a significant role in reversing the market’s trajectory on Monday.

Snap and other social media platforms have joined a diverse group backing the controversial Take It Down Act, intended to tackle the ongoing spread of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) and deepfakes online.

"This law is a critical step not only in helping to protect people from having their private images shared without permission, but also in limiting the distribution of AI-generated intimate images that can be just as damaging," wrote the social media company. "The TAKE IT DOWN Act aligns with and complements our ongoing efforts to stop bad actors from distributing NCII and child sexual exploitation and abuse imagery (CSEAI) online."

Roblox co-founder David Baszucki, also announced the platform's support of the bill. "The ability to rapidly share images and videos is one of the reasons the internet can be a complex and dangerous place for children," he wrote. "This content is incredibly sensitive, and we need greater government oversight for apps that allow image and video sharing. Currently, Roblox does not support this functionality."

The bipartisan act was introduced by Senator Ted Cruz last June and passed a vote in the Senate in February. The legislation makes publishing or threatening to publish nonconsensual explicit imagery a federal crime, including images generated by AI. Social media companies are implicated in the bill, as well, required to remove the original content and any duplicates within 48 hours. And the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would gain new powers to sure non-compliant platforms.

In March, First Lady Melania Trump came out in support of the bill, as well.

Take It Down Act spurs concerns about privacy and censorship

Despite its bipartisan and celebrity support, free speech and privacy advocates have vocally opposed the bill, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change, and the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, which sent a letter to the Senate in opposition. According to the organizations, the bill's current notice and takedown (NTD) mechanism would have rippling consequences on content that isn't NCII, including creating a potential censorship pathway for legal pornography, journalism, and political speech.

Such actions would be unconstitutional, advocates argue, and could additionally threaten user privacy — including the efficacy of end-to-end encryption — if platforms invest further in automatic detection technology and other tools to monitor users' messages.

The Take It Down Act isn't the only piece of legislation attempting to forge legal and civil pathways for victims of NCII, either, including the 2024 Defiance ("Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits") Act spearheaded by Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, Republican senator Lindsay Graham, and Democratic representative and co-leader Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In addition, companies like Roblox have signed on to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) 2.0, an update to an existing bill that, among other expansions, would extend online data privacy protections to children under 17 years old.

UNLIMITED TRAVEL FOR FIVE MONTHS FOR $399: Snag the Frontier Go Wild! Summer Pass for just $399 and take off on unlimited trips between May 1 and Sept. 30. The deal comes with some blackout dates and booking requirements.

Opens in a new window Credit: Frontier Frontier Go Wild! Summer Pass $399 for unlimited travel between May 1 and Sept. 30 Get Deal

You deserve a vacation; imagine sun-drenched beaches, spa days, hikes that take you to the most stunning waterfalls, ordering room service, reuniting with friends, and simply relaxing. We're all less excited about the cost of a vacation, of course, but if you're flexible and desire a travel-filled summer, there's a fantastic deal in store.

The Frontier Go Wild! Summer Pass offers unlimited flights within the Frontier network between May 1 and Sept. 30 for $399. It'll automatically renew at $499 for the same travel period in 2026, but you're free to cancel. Each flight booked will come with a fee of $0.01 and applicable taxes and fees will also be tacked on at the end.

For certain travelers, the Frontier Go Wild! pass offers an incredible deal. Of course, offering unlimited flights for under $400 for five months comes with some fine print. However, those who plan carefully and remain flexible can make this deal well worth the initial price.

Fine print that's worth being in bold

For starters, you'll need to avoid blackout dates that include May 22 and 23, May 26, June 22, June 26 to 29, July 3 to 7, Aug. 28 and 29, and Sept. 1. Aside from those dates, you'll need to book domestic travel *holds breath* no earlier than 24 hours before departure and no earlier than 10 days in advance for international bookings.

That's right: you'll need to book no more than one day in advance for domestic travel — which means the flight pass is great for those who thrive on spontaneity. That regulation also means you won't have a return flight home booked. You'll need to live on the edge and hope Frontier has flight availability to get you back when you desire.

If you're not cool with that type of roulette, Frontier has newly introduced Go Wild! Early Booking, but mentions a fee may apply. There's also extra fine print here that explains the early booking promotion is only valid on flights through June 11 and only for domestic U.S. and Puerto Rico travel.

It's also worth mentioning the Go Wild! Summer Pass does not include any add-ons like a carry-on bag, checked bags, or seats. You'll be able to pay extra for those when booking. Frontier's baggage policy does not favor anyone who wants to travel with, say, a change of clothes. It comes with one free personal item the airline lists as including purses, totes, computer bags, and kids' backpacks. That means you'll need to pay extra for a backpack or carry-on roller bag unless you're a super light traveler.

Is the Go Wild! Summer Pass worth it?

If you love the thrill of spontaneity and don't mind packing light or paying for bags, the summer Go Wild! Pass is an incredible deal at $399. These days, a single round-trip journey could cost the same. Traveling on just four Frontier flights during those five months would bring the cost down to just $100 per flight. If you can sneak in one round-trip journey during each of the five months of validity, that brings the per-flight cost down to just $40, plus the included $0.01 price and applicable fees.

Since Frontier accepts international bookings with the Go Wild! pass up to 10 days in advance, you could technically plan a week-long round-trip adventure three days in advance. That plan would at least ensure you have a return flight booked before you take off.

How to book on the Go Wild! Summer Pass

While the fine print is complex, booking the actual flights is straightforward. Once you have the pass, you'll need to log into your Frontier Miles account on Frontier's website, not the mobile app. From there, search flights and scan for the GoWild! seat availability. You'll see it show up with the $0.01 fee, government taxes, and other fees. Frontier says these charges start at about $15 per person, but some can go higher than $100 for international travel.

The Go Wild! Summer Pass has some complexities, but at $399, certain travelers should scoop up this pass asap. Or you can go all out and snag the Go Wild! Annual pass for just $599 which is the ultimate deal if you're all about last-minute trips or can travel with flexible dates. In either case, we're big time cheerleaders for taking a little vacation for mental health, and the Frontier Go Wild! Pass is an incredible way to do just that at an affordable price.

It doesn't matter what age your kid is: Whether it's their very first phone or their fifth, parents are going to worry about what's behind that scrolling and tapping. Parental control apps have come to be a convenient compromise between kids who really don't want to hand over their phone and parents who really don't want to have to confiscate it.

How do parental control apps work?

At their core, parental control software lets you monitor your child's phone, tablet, or computer remotely. Corresponding apps are downloaded both on the parent's device and on the child's device. From there, parents can do anything from monitor internet searches and browsing history, block inappropriate or distracting apps, or limit screen time all together. It's a less invasive and more respectful method than physically snooping through their phone or computer — and when kids know that their activity is being watched or managed, good habits might stick better.

SEE ALSO: What to know about new research on screen time and kids' mental health

Worries of kids turning into technology zombies certainly aren't new, but feel especially relevant in an online landscape ruled by social media. According to the American Academy and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, children ages 8-12 spend on average four to six hours a day using screens, with that number sitting higher at nine hours for teens. The time in front of those screens can pose risks: in the past few years alone, both Tiktok and Meta have faced lawsuits alleging that social companies make their platforms intentionally addictive, and can negatively impact users' mental health.

In other words, it's not easy being a kid online — parental control apps can help you and your child foster a safer relationship to online spaces.

Apple's Screen Time vs. third-party parental control apps

If you and your child both have iPhones, generally the easiest option is to use the native iOS solution: Screen Time. Additionally, TikTok, Roblox, and Meta all offer built-in parental control specific to their apps.

Back in 2019, a sweep of third-party parental control apps on the App Store severely curbed functionality on some of the most popular downloads. It was around that same time, in response to accusations that its devices were too addictive, Apple unveiled Screen Time: An iOS-specific screen time tracker that parents could utilize to mitigate their child's usage. Not only is this app relatively comprehensive in what it offers, but it's also completely free. And unlike the parental control landscape of about five years ago, you can get a comprehensive suite of features without paying a cent — that's why two out of three of our picks are free to use.

More recently, Apple also introduced plans to make sure app developers are including child safety settings within apps themselves, including an age range verification that can limit what features of an app are available based on a user's age range.

SEE ALSO: Too much TV screen time for kids: 5 things to know about the risks

The controls baked into iOS will suffice for a lot of people. They can set screen time limits, block certain apps and websites, or restrict new downloads or things with an explicit content rating altogether. But Screen Time becomes useless pretty quickly if the parent or child has an Android or if the parent and child share a device, which is why we included other options on this list.

Use parental controls as a safety tool, not a spying tool

Some parents suggest downloading one of these apps on your kid's phone without telling them. Here's our take: Don't do that. We'd be remiss to omit the possibility of loopholes for kids to look for if they know the app is there, but monitoring their activity behind their back feels like rebellion or resentment waiting to happen. Depending on how much of the content on your child's device that an app can see, it could quickly become a breach of privacy.

Instead, try to agree on a screen time routine and a list of apps and websites that are appropriate. Letting them in on the process can build trust rather than diminish it, and having reinforced but reasonable guidelines for screen time can help curb any device dependencies. Plus, their understanding of why TikTok and Instagram are blocked during homework hours or at bedtime can help them learn a solid set of cyber safety habits.

Here are the best parental control apps for Apple devices in 2025:

If you're looking for a fitness tracker that has a full range of lifestyle and fitness tracking features, you'll love the Garmin vívoactive 5. It's currently down to its cheapest price so far this year, with a savings of $89.

As of April 9, you can buy it for $210.52, down from $299.99.

The vívoactive is a popular model, with this edition being released in late 2023, bringing a stark upgrade from the vívoactive 4. Unlike its predecessor, the 5 benefits from a bright AMOLED display, making colors incredibly vibrant and much more noticeable. It also has a much-improved battery life, boasting 11 days when in smartwatch mode.

Stats-wise, it's packed with advanced health-tracking features, including heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, stress tracking, and in-depth sleep insights. The sleep insights have also had an upgrade, now featuring sleep coaching. Sports tracking includes running, cycling, swimming, and more.

However, if you're looking for in-depth training stats such as training status and readiness, these are not available on the vívoactive 5. For these, take a look at the higher spec watches, such as those in the Forerunner range.

If a new iPad stylus has been on your wishlist for some time, you're in luck. Amazon's Daily Deals has treated us to another bargain, this time on the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen). As of April 9, it's down to $109, saving you $20.

This Apple stylus is a noticeably more improved design than the 1st gen, especially for those who love to sketch, take notes, or use their iPad for lots of intense editing. The stylus benefits from a magnetic attachment, so it's nice and easy to both store and charge. Double-tap gestures let you switch tools effortlessly, and it’s incredibly responsive, so whether you’re drawing fine details or jotting down quick notes, it feels just like using a real pen or pencil.

It works with various iPads, including: iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation), iPad mini (6th generation), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation), iPad Air (4th generation), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation), iPad Air (5th generation).

Compared to its predecessor, The Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) features a much sleeker design. The 1st Gen also doesn't have the magnetic attachment for charging and storage, nor the customizable double-tap gestures, so if these are important for you, the 2nd Gen is the stylus for you.

If your TV’s audio sounds like it’s coming from inside a tin can buried under your floorboards, you’re not alone. Most built-in TV speakers are fine. But “fine” doesn’t cut it when you’re trying to hear whispered dialogue over booming music and car crashes. Enter the TCL Alto 8 Plus, now on sale for just $99 at Walmart. That’s less than what some people pay for HDMI cables, which is its own problem.

This soundbar actually brings some substance. It supports Dolby Atmos, which means sound doesn’t just hit you from the front, but also floats around you with a bit more spatial flair. There’s a wireless subwoofer included too, so you get that satisfying rumble during explosions or when someone dramatically slams a door. And no, you don’t need a surround sound PhD to set it up.

It works especially well with TCL Roku TVs, letting you adjust settings using your TV remote. But it’s not limited to that setup. There’s HDMI eARC, optical, USB, and Bluetooth support, so you can hook it up however you like. It’s a 39-inch bar that won’t dominate your space but will absolutely dominate your TV’s weak built-in speakers.

• Price: $99.00 $259.00

• Retailer: Walmart

• Channels: 2.1.2 with Dolby Atmos

• Subwoofer: Wireless

• Audio Output: 300W peak

At $99, it’s less of a splurge and more of a mercy upgrade for your ears. Honestly, your TV’s sound could probably use the help.

SAVE $700: As of April 9, Motorola razr+ 2023 (256GB, unlocked) is on sale for $299.99 at Best Buy. That’s a $700 discount off the usual $999.99 price.

Motorola razr+ was one of those phones I wanted to love but couldn’t justify buying. It was cool, sure. It folded in half and had a massive external screen, but at $999.99, it felt like Motorola was charging extra for nostalgia. Now it’s $299.99 at Best Buy, and suddenly I’m seeing my current slab-style phone as a creativity-blocking brick.

There’s something very satisfying about snapping a phone closed after a call, and the razr+ makes that tactile joy feel futuristic instead of dated. The 3.6-inch external display is actually useful, not just decorative, letting you check messages, change songs, or snap selfies without opening the thing. When you do flip it open, you’re met with a 6.9-inch pOLED screen that runs at 144Hz. That’s smoother than it needs to be, but I’m not complaining.

It runs on a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which was Qualcomm’s top chip until recently. That means apps launch quickly, multitasking doesn’t stutter, and the AI features (yes, those are a thing now) feel snappy rather than slapped-on. You also get 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough space for your photos, memes, and unplayed mobile games.

• Price: $299.99 $999.99

• Retailer: Best Buy

• Storage: 256GB

• RAM: 8GB

• Display: 6.9-inch pOLED main display (144Hz), 3.6-inch external screen

• Processor: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

• Front Camera: 32MP

• Rear Camera: 12MP main, ultrawide lens

• Battery: 3800mAh with 30W TurboPower and wireless charging

• Operating System: Android 13

• Network: Unlocked, 5G-compatible

• Durability: IP52 water and dust resistance

• Weight: 6.63 ounces

• Color: Infinite Black

• Warranty: 1 year parts and labor

The battery life is respectable. It’ll get you through a full day, and when it doesn’t, there’s 30W TurboPower charging and wireless charging as backup plans. The cameras are decent, not mind-blowing, but that external screen lets you take proper selfies with the main sensor, which is genuinely useful.

At $299.99, this is the kind of discount that makes me reconsider everything I thought I wanted in a phone. It’s fun, surprisingly practical, and finally priced like Motorola wants people to actually buy it.

One of the weirdest things about owning an iPad, if you're an Instagram user, is realizing that there is no native Instagram app for Apple's tablet.

What makes this especially weird is that the iPad feels like the perfect platform for Instagram and similar, extremely visual apps, as it allows you to see the posts on a far larger display than the one on your phone.

With Instagram's owner Meta being one of the largest companies in the world, it's hard to justify this as a cost-saving measure. And given that both the iPad and Instagram launched in 2010, it's not like Instagram or Meta never had time to build an app. Puzzlingly, Instagram head Adam Mosseri once said that the group of people who want an Instagram app for the iPad isn't large enough, despite admitting that the company gets asked about it "a lot."

This is made even worse by the fact that Instagram's web app still isn't as good as the native version (seriously — what's up with posts being tiny with no possibility of making them larger?). And yes, you can use the iPhone app on iPad, but it's just not the same.

This is finally changing. According to The Information (via MacRumors), Instagram is finally working on a native Instagram app for the iPad.

Unfortunately, that's pretty much all we know at this point. No details about the app itself or when it may launch have been revealed. However, The Information claims that Meta's motivation to cave in and build a native Instagram app has to do with the looming TikTok ban, so maybe it launches sooner rather than later.
