    TikTok has a new tune-hyping tool.

    The platform is globally releasing a self-service “Pre-Release” feature for Artist accounts that allows musicians to easily promote forthcoming album releases. Fans can automatically save unreleased albums to their Spotify or Apple Music libraries so that they don’t miss the album drop and can listen to them instantly upon release.

    Adobe brings Photoshop to Android.

    After launching Photoshop for iPhone in February, a beta Android app is now available to download via Google Play. Much like its iOS counterpart, Photoshop for Android includes many features from the desktop version, including layers, masks, brushes, and Firefly generative AI tools, but with a UI optimized for mobile devices.

    Adobe says all features are free to use while the app is in beta, and that more are “coming soon.”

    Thomson Reuters is building AI agents with OpenAI.

    The first is CoCounsel for tax, audit, and accounting professionals, which can perform tasks like client file reviews, memo drafting, and compliance checks. An agentic tax prep application that can draft tax returns is also in the works, called Ready to Review.

    Thomson Reuters’ embrace of generative AI was noted by Reuters president Paul Bascobert on Decoder last month. The CoCounsel launch is “just the start” according to Thomson Reuters’ announcement, with agentic workflows for legal, risk, and compliance “coming soon.”

    Tango Gameworks relaunches with a new look.

    After the former Microsoft game studio behind Hi-Fi Rush was spared from closure last year, Tango Gameworks now has a new website and updated branding. The studio is hiring for multiple positions and says its redesigned look and logo represent its vision as a “creative workshop” for creating games that feel “handmade with soul.”

    iPhone users can finally copy chunks of WhatsApp messages.

    The WhatsApp for iOS 25.16.81 update that’s rolling out over the coming weeks allows users to hold down on a message to select and copy specific sections, instead of being forced to copy the entire message text. Android users are still stuck with this limitation for now, but WABetaInfo reports that a similar update is in the works.
