Windows Update: Now Microsoft Word can automatically save new documents to the cloud

Microsoft is testing updates to Word for Windows that enable autosave and cloud saving by default. Those who have upgraded to Word for Windows Version 2509 or later will be eligible to test this functionality with Microsoft 365 Insiders in the Beta Channel. Later this year, Microsoft intends to provide this feature to PowerPoint and Excel. Microsoft 365 Insiders are testing a version of Word for Windows that will ensure that work is never lost and that documents can be viewed in a web browser or on Android and iOS devices. With the new Word functionality, users may select a folder on their own computer and set their OneDrive account as the default file destination. By choosing or not choosing the option, they can also change how new files are created, either traditionally or automatically in the cloud. Also Read: Google’s Gmail data breach has exposed over 2 billion users to potential phishing risks: Report Raul Munoz, a Product Manager on the Office Shared Services and Experiences team revealed the Windows latest update to Microsoft Word for Windows that automatically saves new documents to the cloud. He said, “We are modernizing the way files are created and stored in Word for Windows! Now you don’t have to worry about saving your documents: Anything new you create will be saved automatically to OneDrive or your preferred cloud destination.” The AutoSave feature in Word’s prior version was disabled until the first save was made. The “Create new files in the cloud automatically” option has been added to Word’s Options menu’s Save tab. If chosen, the file will be saved with a date in the filename and at the user-specified location. Also Read: CMF by Nothing appoints Himanshu Tandon as VP of Business Word lets users change a document’s name and location when it is saved, and it notifies the user whether any changes have been made before closing a new document. As soon as you create a file, Copilot and Agent support are accessible, offering AI-powered assistance as required. But you need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license or a Copilot Chat license. Word has known bugs, such as failing to save newly created files in a new session, taking longer to refresh recent file listings after renaming a document, and failing to save the first file created after launching Word if the Show the Start screen setting is turned off.

Google’s Gmail data breach has exposed over 2 billion users to potential phishing risks: Report

Following a large breach attributed to the hacking group ShinyHunters, Google has warned 2.5 billion Gmail users to reset their passwords and tighten their account security. The incident, which exposed a Google database administered via Salesforce’s cloud platform, is regarded as one of Google’s most serious breaches. Google recommends users to be on high alert for unusual activities and to implement additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication, if they do not already have them.

Google Gmail data breach

In June 2025, cybercriminals used social engineering methods to impersonate IT officials over the phone and persuade a Google employee to accept a deceptive Salesforce application. The attackers were able to extract contact information, business names, and associated notes. Google verified that no user credentials were taken, but the stolen information is already being used. Users have reported an increase in phishing emails, fake phone calls, and malicious text messages that deceive victims into revealing login information or resetting passwords. Google has already seen comparable large-scale attacks, such as the 2018 Google+ API breaches, 2017-2018 Gmail phishing schemes, and the 2016 Gooligan malware campaign, indicating that attackers do not necessarily require passwords to cause serious damage. Also Read: CMF by Nothing appoints Himanshu Tandon as VP of Business The stolen Google login information is crucial to hackers, who may impersonate representatives and persuade victims to provide login passwords or sensitive data. Some attackers also use brute force logins, which test weak or commonly used passwords. Victims may face terrible consequences, such as being locked out of their Gmail accounts, losing access to private documents and images, and possibly exposing associated banking and corporate systems.

Google Emergency Warning Gmail

Google notified impacted consumers on August 8, 2025, after investigating the issue at hand. The data was mostly available company information, but experts warned that even simple details might be used in targeted scams. Here is what the tech firm said, “In June, one of Google’s corporate Salesforce instances was impacted by similar UNC6040 activity described in this post. Google responded to the activity, performed an impact analysis and began mitigations. The instance was used to store contact information and related notes for small and medium businesses. Analysis revealed that data was retrieved by the threat actor during a small window of time before the access was cut off. The data retrieved by the threat actor was confined to basic and largely publicly available business information, such as business names and contact details” ShinyHunters, also known as UNC6040, is a hacker group that has a history of breaking into company networks for extortion. They imitate IT assistance to deceive staff into authorising malicious Salesforce apps, then use technologies similar to Salesforce’s “Data Loader” to steal large databases. ShinyHunters, founded in 2020, has been connected to high-profile breaches at firms like AT&T, Microsoft, Santander, and Ticketmaster. Also Read: Moto Buds Loop and Bass earbuds launched in India

What steps can you take to protect yourself?

Users may safeguard themselves by utilising ID Protection’s Data Leak Checker and Dark Web Monitoring to see whether their Gmail account is exposed on the dark web. Improve account security by resetting your Gmail password and using MFA for phishing-resistant logins. Use Trend Micro ScamCheck’s call blocking, SMS filtering, and scam checking capabilities to prevent scammers from reaching you. Verify suspicious emails purporting to be from Google by sending them to ScamCheck to see whether they are authentic. Google encourages users to convert to passkeys, which employ fingerprint or facial identification and are resistant to phishing. Run a Google Security Checkup to check your account protections and enable additional security measures.

India’s tablet market shrinks 32.2 percent in 1H25: Samsung still leads by quite a margin

India’s tablet story just hit the brakes. In the Indian tablet market 1H25, shipments fell to 2.15 million units, a 32.2 per cent year-over-year slide. The drop worsened in Q2 with a 42.1 per cent decline after an 18.4 per cent fall in Q1, pointing to a rough first half for vendors and channels.

The big picture

IDC’s tracker highlights a tale of two form factors. Detachable tablet growth clocked 18.9 per cent year over year, but slate tablets plunged 44.4 per cent, dragging the market into negative territory. The sharp contraction is linked primarily to weaker commercial buying after government-funded manifesto programs cooled, which historically prop up large deployments.

Consumer vs commercial: a widening split

Shoppers kept tapping “add to cart.” The consumer tablet market rose 20.5 per cent in 1H25, helped by aggressive sell-ins, Amazon Prime Day, back-to-school offers, cashback deals and EMI options. Brand-owned stores and regional retail chains added momentum, as bigger screens, stylus support and affordable entry models swayed buyers.

On the flip side, commercial shipments tumbled 61.7 per cent. Education fell 66.7 per cent and enterprise was down 26.2 per cent, hit by paused tenders, SMB cost controls and limited refresh at large firms. Do not expect a quick bounce, given typical public sector refresh cycles.

Market leaders in 1H25

Who held shares while the market slid?

  • Samsung: 41.3 per cent overall. Led both commercial and consumer segments, supported by education projects and strong online inventory execution.

  • Lenovo: 12.3 per cent overall. Picked up in SMB and enterprise, plus gains via e-tailers.

  • Apple: 11.8 per cent overall. Solid 14.4 per cent in consumer; enterprise presence expanded.

  • Xiaomi: 11.4 per cent overall. Consumer growth of 28.5 per cent on a value-centric lineup.

  • Acer: 9.1 per cent overall. Down 73.1 per cent year over year due to cancelled education deals and softer enterprise demand.

This slump arrives right after a blockbuster 2024, when tablet shipments in India surged 42.8 per cent to 5.73 million units. That rebound was fueled by promotions, improved Android features and government education deployments. The pendulum has now swung, especially on the public side, exposing how dependent volumes can be on large institutional orders.

Why it matters for buyers and brands

  • Detachable tablet growth suggests users want flexible, laptop-adjacent devices without laptop prices.

  • Commercial tablet decline signals caution from schools, ministries and enterprises, which could pressure vendors to pivot toward consumer-friendly bundles.

  • Samsung tablet share leadership keeps pressure on rivals to differentiate on design, ecosystem and after-sales.

  • Consumer tablet demand remains resilient, so expect more stylus-ready, large-screen models at aggressive prices.

  • Expect more targeted marketing and timing around major e-commerce events.

Read Also: Vivo T4 Pro with a massive 6500mAh battery launched in India

IDC notes the consumer market doubled between 2019 and 2021 and could triple by end-2025, but public sector demand has eased with a three to four-year refresh cycle. That sets the stage for continued double-digit declines in commercial shipments even if households keep buying.

The tablet is not done. If detachables keep climbing and vendors keep pricing smart, the category may quietly reinvent itself as India’s go-to budget PC.

realme P4 Pro gets a 12-hour special sale in India on August 29

If you have been waiting for a value flagship in spirit, the realme P4 Pro sale starts on August 29 from 12 PM to midnight. The pitch is simple. A dual-chip setup promises higher sustained performance, a 144Hz AMOLED aims for ultra-smooth visuals, and a 7000mAh battery claims all-day gaming without the bulk. On paper, this is one of the boldest spec sheets under Rs 20,000 right now.

Price and availability in India

  • 8GB + 128GB effective price Rs 19,999

  • 8GB + 256GB Rs 21,999

  • 12GB + 256GB Rs 23,999
    The 12-hour special sale runs August 29, 12 PM to 12 AM IST across Flipkart, realme.com, and mainline retail. Realme also lists a bank discount, exchange benefits, and no-cost EMI options on select variants.

Why the dual-chip matters

Inside is Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 for CPU and GPU duties paired with a Hyper Vision AI coprocessor co-developed with Pixelworks. The idea is the division of labour. The Snapdragon handles heavy compute while the companion chip focuses on frame generation, AI upscaling, tone mapping, and visual enhancements. In theory, that should mean steadier frame rates in long gaming sessions and cleaner video playback without the typical mid-range throttling. It also unlocks display algorithms that can lift SDR content and reduce artefacts in low-bitrate streams.

Display and design

The P4 Pro uses a 144Hz HyperGlow AMOLED 4D Curve+ panel with a stated 6500 nits peak brightness, HDR10+, and 1.07 billion colours. Eye comfort features include 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, hardware low-blue-light filtering, and TÜV Rheinland certification. Realme’s Living Nature Design swaps glossy glass for tech-wood on the back. Colourways include Birch Wood, Dark Oak Wood, and Midnight Ivy, each with a tactile, grained finish that resists smudges better than mirror backs.

Battery and performance

A 7000mAh Titan Battery sits in a 7.68 mm chassis, which is unusually slim for this capacity. Realme’s internal tests cite over 8 hours of BGMI at 90FPS, helped by the dual-chip pipeline and thermal tuning. The benefit is simple to grasp. High refresh gameplay stays stable longer, and you are less likely to hunt for a charger in the evening.

Cameras for creators

You get 50MP sensors on both sides. The rear uses a 50MP Sony IMX896 with OIS for steadier night shots and portraits with better micro-contrast. The front is a 50MP OV50D for sharp selfies and 4K vlogs. Notably, 4K 60FPS recording is supported on both front and rear, which is rare at this price and handy for creators who want consistent footage quality regardless of perspective.
