YouTube today is launching a new sharing feature in its mobile app, previously in testing with users in select markets.  The feature allows YouTube users to send their friends videos and chat from within a new tab in the mobile app – effectively turning YouTube into a mobile messenger of sorts. The feature has been in testing since the middle of last year, and, at the beginning of 2017, rolled out to users in Canada as something of a “soft launch.” It later expanded to parts of Latin America, the company tells us. Following the feedback gained from these long-term initial tests, YouTube felt it was ready to debut the sharing feature to a global audience. That roll out begins today, but won’t reach all YouTube users worldwide for a few days. In other words, if you don’t see the sharing option yet – just wait, you will soon.

Google brings reCAPTCHA API to Android

Ten years after beginning to offer protection to Web users, Google has now taken a step towards protecting mobile devices and brought its renowned reCAPTCHA API to Android.


The move is to protect Android users from spam and abuse, as well as countermoves by its competitors in the smartphone space, which include Apple and Microsoft.

“With this API, reCAPTCHA can better tell human and bots apart to provide a streamlined user experience on the mobile,” said Wei Liu, product manager for reCAPTCHA, Google, in a blog post.

Available as a part of Google Play Services, the reCAPTCHA Android API comes along with Google SafetyNet that provides services such as device
attestation and safe
browsing to protect mobile apps.




The combination enables developers to perform both the device and user attestations using the same API. Carnegie Mellon alumni Luis
von Ahn, Ben Maurer, Colin McMillen, David Abraham and Manuel Blum built reCAPTCH as a CAPTCHA-like system back in 2007. 

The development was acquired by Google two years after its inception, in September 2009. The solution has benefited more than a billion users so far.


Google is not just limiting the access of reCAPTCHA to Android but also plans to bring it to Apple’s iOS as well. It would be interesting to see how it is adopted by iOS developers. Meanwhile, you can use the reCAPTCHA Android Library under SafetyNet APIS to integrate the secured solution into your Android apps.
