Yelp is using DoorDash to expand restaurant delivery options.

Starting on October 1st, the partnership will give Yelp users access to more than half a million US restaurants via DoorDash’s delivery network. Tapping the “order” button will automatically take users to the restaurant page on DoorDash where available, instead of manually having to switch platforms.

Two screenshots showing the DoorDash integration on Yelp.
The partnership aims to combine the best features from both platforms: Yelp’s reviews and DoorDash’s delivery system.

I feel for the Google employee who torpedoed its Windows desktop app growth.

If you installed the new Google app for Windows, Google’s now telling you to remove it! To “keep receiving Google app updates,” you have to uninstall and reinstall from scratch. I wonder how many will skip the second step... particularly since it won’t uninstall until you dismiss this message and close the app.

Snapchat will start charging to store more Memories.

If you have more than 5GB of Memories, you’ll have to pay $1.99 / month to store up to 100GB of your past snaps. Snapchat will also include up to 250GB of storage in its Snapchat Plus plan and 5TB with its Snapchat Platinum subscription.

Snap notes that the “vast majority” of users have less than 5GB of Memories.

Google Vids can now do more with your slides.

In June, Google launched the ability to turn your Slides presentation into a video, but now, you can have it automatically generate an AI script, voiceover, and background music to go along with each of your slides. The feature is rolling out now to Workspace and AI plan subscribers.

You just have to enable the AI toggle when importing your slides to Vids.
