New Trash feature in Google Contacts Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:57 AM PDT Quick launch summary  We're adding Trash to Google Contacts. Now, when you delete a contact, it will go into Trash, where it will stay for 30 days before being permanently deleted. In that time, you can view, restore, or permanently delete the contact. Trash will contain contacts deleted on any device—web, Android, iOS, and more—but you can only view and manage Trash on the web. Trash makes it much easier for users to recover contacts they've accidentally deleted.  Getting started  Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.  End users: This feature will be ON by default. Find it in the left-hand menu when you go to Google Contacts on the web (contacts.google.com). The Trash view is not available yet in the Google Contacts apps for mobile devices. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using Google Contacts.  Rollout pace  Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on July 16, 2020.  Availability  Available to all G Suite customers and users with personal accounts.  Resources  Google Help: Edit or delete contacts

Push device updates and settings to managed Windows 10 devices more quickly Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:18 AM PDT Quick launch summary  In April, we launched enhanced security for Windows. It allows admins to push device configuration updates, device settings, and more to Windows 10 devices remotely, without any specific network requirements.  Now, it will be quicker for applied settings to take effect on managed devices faster. Previously, it could take up to six hours for settings to change on a device. With this update, they will take effect in a few minutes in most cases, as long as the device is connected to the internet. This will help ensure devices are updated and in compliance faster and that critical security updates are applied quickly.  Getting started  Admins: Use our Help Center to learn how to enable Windows device management, and how to apply Windows settings to devices.  End users: No visible change to the end user experience.  Rollout pace  Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on July 16, 2020  Availability  Available to G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise for Education, G Suite Enterprise Essentials, and Cloud Identity Premium customers  Not available to G Suite Basic, G Suite Business, G Suite for Education, G Suite for Nonprofits, and G Suite Essentials customers  Resources  G Suite Admin Help: Apply Windows settings  G Suite Updates Blog: Enhanced security for Windows 10 devices now generally available
