I love when my FYP serves me up exactly what I want. That's how it felt when Tess Gigone's videos graced my feed. From her home kitchen in Canada, Gigone takes a laid-back approach to home cooking, whether it's a simple lunch for her and her husband or an elaborate pavlova to bring to a family dinner.

And Gigone is my favorite type of influencer. Rather than pedaling products on TikTok Shop or pushing a certain lifestyle, she shares things that are genuinely delicious and joyful. Her easy-going videos have inspired me to try new recipes that have become staples in my weekly meal rotation.

Since first discovering Gigone two years ago, her following has exploded to 575.7K on TikTok, earning 33.2M likes in the process. Through her kitchen, we've seen Gigone make hundreds of delicious meals and watch her family grow. Now, Gigone has a one-year-old daughter and her own series with Food52, It's Fine.

In between her travels, I caught up with Gigone to talk about the essential products for her content creation. With her background in photography, she shared her favorite camera and all the tools she needs for filming.

Rather than an extensive camera set-up, Gigone takes a simpler approach to filming her content. For her, there's no need for an external vlogging camera. All her filming is done on her smartphone.

"I film everything on my phone, which usually surprises people! Until recently, I was using an iPhone 12 Pro, but I just upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I'm feeling very fancy about it," she says.

While some creators use TikTok or Reels' native editing tools, Gigone prefers editing on the computer: "For editing, I'm definitely a computer person. I'm not sure how anyone could edit on their phone — my thumbs are not that precise. Adobe Premiere Pro is my go-to software."

With limited space in her kitchen, there's no room for a tripod. Luckily, an Octobuddy, the suction-cup phone attachment, is the perfect fix: "[My] most essential tool is [the] Octobuddy phone mount, which lets me film almost anywhere. Most of my videos happen in my kitchen, where I attach my phone to the window in front of me."

Speaking of the kitchen, with such limited space, the tools that Gigone keeps nearby while filming are also essential. "Since my kitchen is tiny, I try to keep the counter space clear when filming so I have room to actually cook. My Boos cutting board is always visible in my videos," Gigone says.

Before (and while) her content started blowing up on TikTok, she worked as a photographer. While that path has taken a back seat to motherhood and content creation, in a recent video, Gigone unboxed the Fuji Film X100VI camera, and I wanted to know a little bit more about her purchase.

"I owned the Fuji X100V when it first released in 2020 and really loved it. I sold it when I was building up my professional equipment, but I've missed having it. Now that I've streamlined my gear, it felt like the right time to bring a Fuji back into my collection. It's a great balance of being compact enough to carry anywhere but still capable of professional-quality images," she says.

Gigone graciously squeezed in time to chat with Mashable in between traveling. As she's on the go, she's got to have all her essentials in one spot: "Having a one-year-old means my bag needs to fit practically everything. My current favorite is the Liffner Sprout tote, which balances function and style nicely."

You can find Gigone on Instagram and TikTok under the username @tessmadalyn.

Jools Lebron is "very demure, very mindful" — and it’s the energy she brings to every piece of content she shares with her more than 2.5 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

She doesn’t need a lot to create her distinctive (and very funny) lifestyle and makeup content. But the few tools she does rely on? Very specific, and very her. Loyal to her iPhone’s front camera, she often balances it against whatever’s nearby — even, at times, her American Girl doll. Editing short-form videos on CapCut, you won’t catch her using a ring light. For long-form content, she levels up with Final Cut Pro on her laptop. It's all about low-key tools and high-impact creativity.

"Technology is so good," Lebron told Mashable at the 2025 Webby Awards, where she accepted the Crush the Internet award for coining the singular phrase, "very demure, very mindful."

From a camera she’s obsessed with to the hand fan she can't live without, here’s what’s in Lebron’s creator toolkit.

When Lebron sat down for a fireside chat at the Webby Creator Weekend, she was holding her signature accessory: a battery-powered hand fan. It's not about the heat, she insists, but more about the breeze.

"There are four in my room right now," she laughs.

In the past, she used traditional hand fans, but they made her a little sweaty. Now, she’s upgraded to a sleek, battery-powered model that lasts up to six hours, and it goes everywhere with her. "I always have to have the wind," she says, making it clear that no video shoot — or creator panel — is complete without it.

While her trusty iPhone does the job for short-form content, Lebron turns to the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 when it's time for longer-form projects.

"I use a Sony ZV-E10 for my vlogs and long-form content. I like the higher quality. I love a Sony camera," she explains, highlighting the importance of capturing crisp, clean visuals for her audience.

The Sony Alpha ZV-E10 helps her create content that feels polished, no matter the setting. Whether it's a cozy indoor vlog or an outdoor adventure, this camera is her go-to for high-quality shots.

When Lebron first entered adulthood, she was all about the phone; it was her one-stop shop for everything. But recently, she’s had a change of heart.

"Everyone told me to get a computer," she laughs. "I got the computer, had it for months, OK? Didn’t touch it."

Turns out, the "clickity-clack" of the keyboard wasn’t something she thought she’d enjoy. Fast forward, and now she can't imagine life without it.

"I feel chic now," she says of her MacBook Pro. "I love the clickity-clack." It’s not just a tool — it’s become a part of her creative routine, especially for editing long-form videos and staying connected to her growing fanbase.

Android 16 has just arrived, hot on the heels of the iOS 26 beta. Google is going all in on stealing Apple's thunder as well, introducing some new updates that directly correlate to iOS features.

While Google has historically released new Android versions between August and September, the tech giant confirmed last month that it would have an earlier June debut this year. That day has now come, with Android 16 landing on select Google Pixel models on Wednesday. Other Android devices will need to wait a bit longer, with Google planning to roll out the update more broadly over the next few months.

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

We'd already heard a lot about Android 16 prior to this week. Google launched its public beta in January, allowing Android fans to get an early peek at the new changes. Now that it's out of beta, here are a few of the features arriving in Android 16.

Live Updates and neater notifications Credit: Google

One of Android 16's most notable new features is the introduction of Live Updates, which are essentially Google's version of Apple's Live Activities. This allows app developers to implement notifications which include live progress bars, helping users to keep track of time-sensitive activities such as Uber trips and food deliveries.

However, Live Updates isn't entirely live just yet. While this week's Android 16 release lets developers begin creating and customising these notifications, the OS won't prioritise them or keep them expanded on the always-on display until a later update.

Notifications from a single app will also be automatically grouped together, keeping your phone display more organised. This should mean you're less likely to feel inundated with an avalanche of information and alerts after putting your phone down for a little while.

Adaptive apps that go edge-to-edge Credit: Google

Like Apple, Google's latest operating system also has a strong focus on aesthetics, with Android 16 laying the groundwork for its planned Material 3 Expressive update. This week Google's OS update forces apps to go edge-to-edge to fill users' entire screens, adapting to different screen sizes and aspect ratios. Previously, developers were able to opt out of going edge-to-edge, however with Android 16 that will no longer be an option.

Predictive back on by default

Android 16 further makes predictive back on by default, where previously it was up to developers to opt in. Initially introduced in Android 13, this allows users to long-press the back button in order to see a preview of which screen it will take you to. Such system animations should make navigating your Android phone a little more predictable.

Scam protection features Credit: Google

This week's Android update also comes with a few new features focusing on security, specifically protecting users against scams. Android 16's Activated Protection includes various security features designed to shield users from an array of malicious attacks, whether they're from dangerous websites or scam calls.

For example, Android 16's Scam Detection AI tool warns users if it detects a suspicious conversation, focusing on common deceptions such as toll road, crypto, and technical support scams. It also has in-call protections preventing users from granting accessibility permissions which let others seize control of their device, as tricking people into allowing such access is a common technique among scammers. Activated Protection can be toggled on in your phone's security and privacy settings.

You wouldn’t keep paying for Netflix if you could own your favorite shows, right? So why are you still subscribing to Office apps you use every day? Microsoft 365’s price keeps going up, but there’s finally a way to break free — and it'll cost you way less in the long run.

What's included?

This license comes with: 

• Word

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Wordle.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra might have a strangely mundane design flaw: the adhesive on its camera rings doesn’t always hold.

At least one user reported on X that, after three months of daily use, a camera ring on his S25 Ultra detached. Despite the device’s titanium frame and glass back, the rings aren’t part of the actual camera hardware. They’re purely cosmetic, held in place with adhesive.

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

This isn’t an alarmist take on the durability of the S25 Ultra. The new camera rings are noticeably thicker than those on the S24, and most units appear structurally sound. YouTuber JerryRigEverything warned about this months ago in one of his teardown videos. With deliberate prying, he removed a ring, but clarified that they’re generally secured well under normal conditions.

Still, this incident stands out. A high-end phone featuring premium materials can still fail in oddly avoidable ways. A camera ring detaching after light wear is unusual, even if it’s an isolated case.

Samsung likely won’t see major fallout from this. The Galaxy S25 Edge, launched last month, continues to draw attention for its slim design and impressive performance. For now, the detaching camera ring remains an odd one-off. If not, we'll have another article about it, in say, two-ish more months.
