Here are all the new features Microsoft added to Excel in June 2025 by Usama Jawad Microsoft Excel is a staple tool across pretty much all organizations as the software is particularly powerful when it comes to data manipulation and is also bundled with Microsoft 365. We recently learned that Copilot in Excel got a major upgrade in the form of context awareness, and now, Microsoft has shared all the features that it added to Excel during the last four weeks, just like it does every month. For starters, Excel for Windows, Mac, and web received the context awareness enhancement for Copilot as mentioned previously and discussed in detail here. In addition, the Windows and Mac variants of Excel netted value tokens. These acts as indicators within cells which show what rich data format or data type is being hosted in that range of cells. Examples include geographies and currencies, which also show up as icons within the cells. Meanwhile, the web version of Excel received Copilot formula generation that you can see as soon as you press the "=" symbol in the cells or the formula bar. You can simply describe the data manipulation that are you trying to achieve in the prompt bar and Copilot will write that formula on your behalf. Lastly, Excel for mobile customers can now view shared Excel files online without signing in with a personal Microsoft account. However, in order to make changes or leave comments, they will need to sign in, which makes sense from a traceability perspective. That said, this feature is currently available for Insiders on Android devices only. Speaking on Insiders, this community on iOS can now search for templates for Excel too. This was apparently requested by many customers so it has been tagged as "Feedback in Action (#FIA)". Microsoft has urged customers to provide further feedback on Excel from within the software or through the dedicated feedback portal available here.

Single launcher = multiple stores. Multiple launchers are only relevant for trying to force me into their ecosystems. There is nothing preventing Steam, Epic, GOG, Ubisoft or whoever from selling me games and installing them from their store through the Xbox launcher. That's just a question of integration. So there is nothing that stops them from selling at different prices and still supporting a single launcher, multiple launchers are a bother to people, and people are mostly willing to pay for convenience (a well-known fact in this day and age). So your argument about prices seem irrelevant.

Smile, you got enrolled.

Leaked Galaxy Z Fold7 images show off all three colors ahead of launch by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar Samsung will hold the second Unpacked Event of the year on July 9 in Brooklyn, New York, where it will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7. The event will be live-streamed on Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and Samsung’s official YouTube channel starting at 10 AM ET, 3 PM BST, and 4 PM CET. The company has already teased the Galaxy Z Fold7 a couple of times, highlighting that it will be the thinnest and lightest foldable from them. Recently, a hands-on video also emerged, where a dummy unit of the Galaxy Z Fold7 was compared with the Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Fold6 Special Edition, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The video suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold7 will weigh 215 grams and measure 9 mm. While this information is yet to be officially confirmed, reliable leaker Evan Blass has shared a bunch of Galaxy Z Fold7 images that showcase the device in three colors from all angles. Gallery: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Blass shared the images through his Substack newsletter, revealing the Galaxy Z Fold7 in its three purported color options: Jet Black, Silver Shadow, and Blue Shadow. Notably, this is likely the first time the Silver Shadow color option has been leaked. From the images, it seems that the Galaxy Z Fold7 is taller and wider compared to last year's foldable, which is also what previous leaks have suggested. The device also appears to be very thin, and also confirms one important thing: Samsung has ditched the under-display camera on the internal screen. Instead, the company has opted for the punch-hole camera, which typically delivers better image quality without relying heavily on post-processing. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 200MP primary camera, and a 4,400 mAh battery with 25W fast charging. Samsung is also rumored to offer Galaxy AI features on the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and Z Flip7 FE, free for life. Under the hood, the phone will run stable Android 16-based One UI 8. If you like what you see, then you can officially pre-reserve the Galaxy Z Fold7 and get $50 credit and up to $1,150 additional savings. Lucky fans will get a chance to win $5,000 worth of Samsung Credit. Images via Evan Blass
