Google is not a social media channel per se, but one of its features, Google Web Stories, is similar to the stories format that you’d see on popular sites like Instagram.

It poses a unique opportunity for creators, so read on to learn all about Google Web Stories, what they can do for your business, and how to create them and make an impact.

What are Google Web Stories?

Google Web Stories are interactive, video-first pieces of content that creators can use to share information with audiences through tappable pages featuring audio, images, and text. The Web Story format was formerly known as AMP Stories.

Google says that styles that work the best with the format are first-person narratives, evergreen or updating stories, live stories, educational and experiential stories, and quizzes and polls.

Web Stories appear in standard Google Search results and as carousels in Google Discover, and you can also add them to a newsletter and link to them from your social media accounts. The image below shows a Web Story in Google Discover on the left and Google Search on the right.

Web Stories are also individual pages on your website, so they can be indexed and surfaced in relevant results. You can feature them as individual pieces of content within your website or embed them like podcast episodes or YouTube videos. The video below from Google for Creators goes into more detail.

Google Web Stories Format

Web Stories have three parts: a poster, a cover page, and story pages.

The poster is the first thing someone sees in your Story, and Google describes it as the packaging. Your cover page is the first page of the content of your story, and story pages are where you begin to tell your story and narrative with video, text, and your preferred assets.

There is only one poster and cover page per story, but you can have multiple story pages.

Can you monetize Google Web Stories?

You can monetize Google Web Stories with AdSense, Ad Manager, and display ads. You can also include affiliate links as attachments or CTAs.

Google Web Stories Examples

1. INPUT – Ford’s Mustang Mach-E 1400 Prototype

The Burger Sisters of Kenya is a Web Story about two sisters who own a famous burger food truck in Kenya. This Story is a great inspiration as it features a first-person narrative that feels like a conversation, high-quality video and visuals, and it minds accessibility with captions and audio transcriptions.

How to Make Google Web Stories

This Google format can bring various benefits to your business, like sharing a unique and engaging brand story with your audience, inspiring engagement with interactive elements, driving traffic to your different channels, and the ability to monetize and generate revenue.

Let’s go over how to make them.

1. Storyboard your narrative.

The first step is to storyboard and draft a narrative. Google created a storyboard script template to use to draft your Web Story narrative.

2. Choose an editor.

After you’ve created a final draft, pick the editor you’ll use to create your Story. If you have developer skills, you can follow a tutorial from AMP that will guide you through the process of creating a Story with custom functionality.

If you don’t have developer skills, you can use one of the recommended no-coding necessary editors.

If you’re a WordPress user, you can use the Web Stories Plugin.

Google Web Stories Plugin

The Web Stories for WordPress plugin, built by Google, will help you easily create and publish your Web Stories on your WordPress site. The editor includes templates, a drag and drop builder, space for custom branded elements, and you can grab existing assets from your WordPress Media Library.

3. Create your Web Story

Once you’ve chosen your editor, begin building your Web Story.

4. Test your web story before publishing.

The final step is to enable your Web Story on Google, and this requires testing it with various tools.

• Test if it is AMP valid using the AMP test tool or AMP Test Validator.
• Check if your Story can be indexed by Google using the Sitemaps Report and URL Inspection Tool.
• Check if your story renders appropriately for different devices with Chrome Developer Tools.

To embed a Web Story on your WordPress site, you’d use the Web Stories block. If you’ve created your Web Story with any AMP tools, you’ll receive an embed link that you can paste within your site code.

Best Practices for Creating Google Web Stories

Let’s go over some best practices for creating your Web Stories.

1. Champion video-first storytelling.

Google meant for Web Stories to be video-first. It favors video over all else but welcomes audio, images, and animations that help you create a narrative. You can include text, but when you use it, aim for less than 280 characters, or approximately 40 to 70 words per page.

2. Use engaging elements.

Stories are meant to be interactive and engaging for users, so aim to use interactive elements.

The best way to do so is to have multiple story pages so you capture viewer attention and get them excited to tap and learn more. You can also include interactive quizzes and polls, CTAs, and links to different pages to increase viewer interaction with your content sources.

3. Use your brand identity.

Stories show up in SERPs and Google Discover, so you want to include your unique brand elements, so audiences know it’s you.

4. Ensure your stories are AMP valid.

Web Stories run on the AMP framework, so they need to be AMP valid. We recommended various testing tools above, so make sure to use them throughout your process to ensure your Stories can appear on the web.

5. Make your Web Stories accessible.

Although you want to champion visual storytelling, your Web Stories also need to be accessible. Add alt text to your images, transcribe audio, use subtitles and captions, and add metadata to your Stories to ensure everyone can benefit from them.

6. Be mindful of Google’s SEO standards.

As mentioned above, Web Stories are pages on your website. As a result, you want to be mindful of SEO best practices when creating your Web Stories so they can be indexed and ready to appear in SERPs.

Google Web Stories SEO Checklist

The same standard SEO best practices apply to Web Stories. If you already have an SEO strategy for your business, reference it throughout your process. However, there are key Web Story SEO factors to be aware of.

• You want to add metadata to all elements of your Web Story, as it will speak directly to search engines and discover features that want to learn what’s in them. You can optimize for this by following along with AMP metadata guidelines.
• Your Web Stories are pages on your website, so you want them to be self-canonical. Each of your Stories should have a link rel=“canonical” to itself.
• Story titles should be shorter than 90 characters.
• Add Web Stories to your site map and don’t include noindex attributes. You can check if you’ve been indexed using the Index Coverage Report.
• All Web Stories need AMP structured data.
• All Images need alt text to improve discoverability, and video needs subtitles.

Over To You

The story format provides similar benefits on Google as it would on your other channels, so it’s worth considering. If you’re ready to use the feature, leverage the instructions on this list to begin creating a unique, interactive piece of content that is sure to delight your audience.

Windows themes offer a unique mix of wallpapers, sounds, and colors to switch between. Many of them come by default, and there are more themes to download from the Windows Store. But you don’t need to look elsewhere to find more themes for your PC. Some of the best Windows themes are just hidden.

The reason these themes are hidden is because they aren’t actually meant for you—Microsoft added these new themes to Windows 11 22H2 for education users. Anyone using a fully-updated Windows device for school is able to take advantage of these new themes to make their machine feel more personal, but you don’t actually need an education machine to access the features. They’re baked into the 22H2 update. They do require a specific set of steps to download first, though.

Twitter user PhantomOcean3 first shared the steps to unlocking these hidden education themes on your PC. To start, you’ll need to be running the latest Windows 11 22H2 update on your machine. Your computer might have already updated automatically, but if not, you can install it from Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. If the update isn’t available on your PC yet, you can download it manually from Microsoft via the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Make sure your system is backed up before installing any OS manually.

With 22H2 or newer on your system, open Registry Editor (or regedit). You can open regedit from the search box by typing regedit, then choosing Registry Editor. You can also open it by right-clicking Start, choosing “Run,” then typing regedit in Open and choosing “OK.”

Allow Register Editor to make changes to your computer. Once you have regedit open, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > PolicyManager > current > device. Right-click on device, then choose New > Key. Call this Education. In this key, right-click and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, then create a DWORD called “EnableEduThemes.” Right-click on this item, choose “Modify,” then set the value to 1. Click “OK.”

Now, restart your computer. When it boots back up, Windows will begin installing the themes, so wait a bit before heading back to Settings > Personalization. If everything went smoothly, you should see new themes available to you, usually only an option on machines set up for education.

Your iPhone has some excellent anti-theft features that make it difficult for thieves to use the device. Even if someone wipes your phone, they’ll still need your Apple ID and password to get into it and turn off “Find My”—which they’ll need to do if they ever want to sell it.

However, the information on your phone isn’t necessarily totally safe. Since Apple’s safeguards are good enough to keep your data away from prying eyes, scammers have moved on to target the most vulnerable point in the system: you.

How this scam works

Several people whose iPhones were stolen have shared their experiences on Reddit. User u/navalsquat described how the scam works: After losing possession of your phone, you are contacted by someone pretending to be a good samaritan. These scammer claims to be concerned about your privacy, saying they have purchased what now appears to be a stolen phone on Facebook Marketplace or a similar secondary market, and turned it on to discover it’s jammed full of your personal data. They’re writing to let you know, and to ask you to remove the device from your Apple ID, lest all that juicy data remain in a stranger’s hands. Isn’t that nice of them—saving you some worry about your data. Everyone’s a winner! Or would be, if they weren’t actually just trying to get you to essentially give them the phone free and clear.

People who lose their phones are usually stressed and would want to do whatever it takes to easily recover the iPhone. When someone is bombarding you with texts and claiming their actions could help, you can slip up and make a mistake. This reaction is what the scammer is aiming for. Removing your Apple ID from the iPhone allows the scammer to unlock the iPhone for their own needs, or sell it to someone else.

If you ignore the message or avoid removing the device from your Apple account, there isn’t much the thief can do other than try to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer who doesn’t realize they’re buying a glorified paperweight.

In another version the scam, you may receive a text that looks like it is from Apple, including a link that looks suspiciously like an Apple URL: Lcloud.com (when spelled with a lowercase L, it looks like iCloud.com). When you click this link, the page will look almost exactly like Apple’s official website. The moment you enter your credentials, however, the scammer gains access to your Apple ID.

How scammers find your contact details

If you’re wondering how someone finds your contact info after stealing your iPhone, the answer is easy. You can use Siri on any iPhone and ask: “Whose iPhone is this?” This shows your contact information to anyone who has access to your device.

You can block this feature by disabling Siri when the iPhone is locked, but it’s not worth the risk. Remember, this is also the option that allows strangers to contact people in your address book if you’re having a medical emergency.

In addition, scammers can also remove your SIM card and use it with another phone to find your phone number.

What you to do when your iPhone is stolen or lost

Instead of paying attention to strangers’ texts, the first thing you should do if your phone goes missing is mark your it as lost. The simplest way to do so is by going to the Find My app on any connected Apple device. In case you don’t have access to another Apple device, go to iCloud.com/find, sign in to your Apple ID, and mark the device lost.

The on-screen steps will guide you through the process, and you can even leave a contact name and number for people to reach out to if they wish to return your device. Once that’s done, do not remove the device from your Apple ID, or from lost mode, until your iPhone is returned to you—and watch out for any suspicious or unexpected requests to sign in to any site using your Apple ID or to remove devices from your Apple account.

The U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in a historic vote agreed unanimously Monday to refer former President Donald Trump and others to the Justice Department for potential criminal charges, including inciting or aiding an insurrection.

The committee also refers three Trump associates to the Justice Department for their roles in the attack while referring four House Republicans to the ethics committee for refusing to testify

In a post to his own social media network on Monday, Truth Social, Trump promoted another Dec. 9 post that linked to his video on Jan. 6 telling supporters to leave the Capitol. Committee members said that video came after more than three hours of inaction as Trump watched the attack.

Four counts

The committee’s seven Democrats and two Republicans all voted to refer Trump for criminal charges on four counts:

• Obstructing an official proceeding;
• Conspiring to defraud the United States;
• Conspiring to make a false statement;
• Inciting, assisting or aiding an insurrection.

Ethics Committee referral

The panel also referred Biggs, Jordan, Perry and McCarthy to their chamber’s ethics panel.

Those members “had materially relevant communications” with Trump on Jan. 6 and the days leading up to the attack, and withheld that information from the panel, the committee said.

In an email, a spokesman for Jordan dismissed the accusation.

“This is just another partisan and political stunt made by” the committee, Jordan spokesman Russell Dye wrote Monday.

‘Masterminds and ringleaders’

Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said Trump violated the basis of U.S. democracy and that criminal referrals were important to seek accountability and ensure that a similar insurrection on the U.S. government is never attempted again.

“Evidence we’ve gathered points to further action beyond the power of this committee or the Congress to help ensure accountability under law, accountability that can only be found in the criminal justice system,” Thompson said.

Fake electors

The committee’s recommendation for two of the criminal charges, conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to make a false statement, centered on the scheme to use slates of false electors from states that Trump lost in 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Some 84 Republicans, including dozens of party leaders, signed on to the bogus documents.

“These intentionally false documents were transmitted to multiple officers of the federal government,” said U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat. “And were intended to interfere with the proper conduct of the joint session, where the existence of so-called competing slates of electors would serve as a pretext for legitimate electoral votes to be rejected.”

“The Committee has reached important conclusions about the evidence it has developed, and I respect those findings.

“Our Founders made clear that, in the United States of America, no one is above the law. This bedrock principle remains unequivocally true, and justice must be done.”

We spoke with the Delivery Director and Data Science & Engineering Lead for Encora Central & South America, Rodrigo Vargas, about Applied AI. The acceleration of Applied AI is 1 of 10 trends that Encora’s Innovation Leaders expect will help organizations respond to disruption in the new year and beyond.

The continuous increase in speed and capacity of CPUs and chips is driving AI models closer to mimicking reasoning and problem-solving skills. Read more about the applications and advantages of AI for organizations.

owe the rise of Applied AI?…To what do

When it comes to Applied AI, we are talking about how AI concepts and domains are applied to real-world problems to find real and practical solutions.

The rise in computer power and availability of AI in general has allowed us to address a broader range of problems that we could tackle before, thus developing new applications and uses for specific cases, like decision making, automation, and cost savings.

How are organizations benefit from AI?

How an organization benefits from using AI depends on the organization, but some examples include autonomous operations.

We can leverage technology such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and computer vision to identify patterns in the financial industry like default risks and fraud detection.

Computers don’t get tired, they don’t need a vacation, and they work 24/7. We can leverage their capacity for problem-solving to engage more with customers, for example, and to provide customer solutions for problems we haven’t seen before.

What direction will Applied in AI for next few years?

We are talking about narrow AI, and we identify narrow AI as the current state of technology. We can create AI models to resolve very specific problems but we cannot yet create models that can respond to more general problems like the human brain does. The human brain is versatile, capable of doing many complex things. AI, on the other hand, requires specific models for very specific use cases.

What are some common misconceptions about Applied AI?

People generally think of AI only when they see robots or self-driving cars. Again, AI is a broad term. It covers a large range of fields. One of which is called computer vision—the computer being able to identify what it is looking at and engage with those objects.

Another example is translation. People don’t generally think about AI when they see a translation tool but under the hood that’s using AI.

Misconceptions arise when people limit their recognition of AI to robots or chatbots. Their perception is limited to an interaction with another entity, whether it is virtual or whether it is physical. But AI goes beyond that and is being used in a wide variety of fields.

What are the different domains of AI?

AI has many fields, but the most common ones are: Computer vision – This is everything related to capturing what a human eye sees and being able to identify what is being seen by the computer. That’s object detection; Natural Language Processing (NLP) – It’s anything related to how humans communicate. There are more fields, but these are the big four.

What does it mean for AI to be responsible?

AI is a great tool used to accomplish many tasks. But there are concerns around how AI can replace human reasoning. There are a few challenges we need to address and, generally, when creating and training models, we need to make sure that the data that we feed those models removes the biases that would produce unexpected results.

Who is responsible for AI mistakes?

There are ongoing discussions about this because, generally, tech moves faster than legislation. Some would argue that the responsibility falls on people that trained the model but others would say the responsibility falls on the ones who deployed and used the model.

How can organizations protect their AI from malicious actors?

Cybersecurity is also a broad term. The difference here with AI is that the data itself can also impose a liability. So, how can companies protect it? First, the basic stuff, making sure that all aspects of cybersecurity are in place within the organization, like access to data and access to systems. To go a step further, deploy validation steps and verification steps for models that are being created so that they get properly tested, and properly verified without being used.

Please let us know if you would ever like to have a conversation with a client partner and/or one of our Innovation Leaders about accelerating next-generation product engineering within your organization.

Mobile development is one of the most critical aspects of software and hardware development in today’s globalized ecosystem. The highly and quickly evolving technological world will continue to grow in 2020 and beyond, which will mostly include mobile development. With over 4 billion users operating in the digital world of mobile technologies, and since – as noted by Business News Daily, “…mobile app revenues are projected to hit nearly $600 billion in 2020.” Enterprises of all sizes have an unprecedented opportunity to capitalize on a large user base that encompasses over half of the human population. The mobile development market, according to Clarion, is growing at a rate of 14 percent and is expected to reach $100 billion by 2022.

While mobile development – in particular mobile app development – is growing, many advanced technologies are likewise growing, which are integrating with the advancement of mobile technologies, and will thus be tightly linked with mobile development in 2020 and beyond:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Machine Learning/Deep Learning
• Chatbots
• VR Technology
• AR Technology
• 5G Network Technology
• Wearable Technology (Internet of Things)
• Blockchain Technology

Mobile App Development: The design, development, and engineering of mobile applications, typically on two major mobile platforms (though other platforms exist), Android and iOS. Mobile apps exist not only on smartphones and tablets, but on smartwatches, smart bracelets, smart clothes, and a variety of mobile systems associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable technology.

• Mobile System Development: As IoT and wearable technology increase, and as portable (“mobile”) devices increase and become more ubiquitous, mobile operating systems and mobile systems will require engineers that develop, maintain, patch, and design such systems for the technologies to work effectively.
• Hybrid Mobile App Development: The development of an app that feels and looks like a native app but operates with web app technologies distinguishes hybrid mobile app development.
• Web/Mobile App Development: The development of a mobile app that is opened from a mobile platform but executes in a web browser and requires an internet connection that defines web mobile application development.
• Web app development: Web apps, developed via HTML5, in 2020 and beyond, usually require developers to integrate the web app with mobile platforms.

Internet of Things (IoT) For App Integration

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel technology that can change how the physical world and the digital world integrate and interact with each other. A myriad of trends in 2020 associated with developing mobile systems and apps that interconnect with IoT technology will require businesses to rethink both the MSDLC and how they utilize mobile development systems for mobile development, such as development frameworks and platforms.

The IoT allows three primary (novel) functions:

1. Remote viewing: IoT tech allows one’s device – such as a mobile phone or tablet computer – to operate as a viewing console, giving a user the ability to see remote areas through the camera of a remote device that has sensors and IoT modules attached to it.
2. Remote control: While IoT tech allows a user to view remote areas via the camera of an interconnected device (typically connected via Wi-Fi), IoT also allows a mobile device to send control commands via the Internet to the device, creating a “smart” network of Internet-connected devices.
3. Data and IT connections & integrations: IoT devices typically create a network of data sharing, connections, and integrations by having sensors linked to the device to collect and stream (in real-time) data to central hubs or centralized systems, including a user’s workstation or mobile device.

As noted by Hackr.io, there are several real-world, advanced applications of IoT Technology, from 2020 and beyond:

Smart Cities: Smart Cities are city infrastructures with a myriad of cameras and sensors linked with everyday city objects (i.e., traffic lights, buildings, street lights, etc.)

Smart Homes: Smart Homes, like smart cities, are IoT-linked homes with a variety of Wi-Fi-connected modules, sensors, and actuators that allow users to control home appliances remotely along with controlling certain functions (e.g., opening the garage, turning up the AC, etc.)

Smart Cars: Smart cars are linked to the Internet via Wi-Fi-enabled modules and allow users – via mobile apps on their mobile phone, tablet, or smart device

Farming IoT: IoT technology in the farming industry is a novel concept that allows farmers to track their herds via smart sensors and microchips (that hold critical information on the animal),

Health IoT: IoT devices that track one’s health, blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, fitness regime, and even disease progression are capable of revolutionizing the health industry via a system of remote diagnostic systems linked with sensor-enabled

Manufacturing, Tracking, and Monitoring IoT: The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) allows inventory tracking, GPS asset tracking, supply monitoring, logistics management, and even the automated tracking of issues with railways, airplane systems, and manufacturing pipelines all via interconnected, sensor and Wi-Fi-enabled smart systems.

Smart Retail: Smart retail has the potential to transform how retail companies operate.

Smart Grids: Smart Grids allow the building of smart infrastructures that allow electric, gas, and energy companies (among others) to manage their assets and network of systems via a network of IoT devices.

Internet of Nano Things (IoNT): As nanotechnology evolves within every industry and market, connecting nanobots with Wi-Fi modules and a network of sensors allows businesses and users to take advantage of a myriad of functions.

Google/Apple Home

Smart Home technology, such as Google Home, Apple Home, and other systems associated with IoT technology, are a group of evolving technologies that have the capabilities of allowing mobile development firms to leverage their experience to develop powerful smart home apps for managing, securing, and viewing their smart home peripherals.

Household Appliances & Mobile Apps

• Smart Refrigerator: Utilize a mobile app to control the temperature or even view inner contents via a camera.
• Smart garage: Use a mobile app to open and close the garage.
• Smart thermostat: Use a mobile app to remotely change the temperature of the house.
• Smart cameras: Use a mobile app to connect with house cameras to view the premises while away.

Like with IoT tech, smart house gadgets will benefit from a robust Mobile SDLC and a powerful development framework or platform.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Chatbots

1. A.I. in Marketing: Mobile A.I. systems are becoming critical in helping to drive marketing pipelines within mobile apps, where customers can have smart bot-powered e-commerce mobile apps quickly learn their preferences and suggest applicable products without the customer even having to attempt a search.
2. A.I. in Banking: Mobile banking apps are becoming the norm. The use of A.I. systems within banking apps to help customers manage their money will help multitudes to feasibly carry out their financial tasks on a daily basis.
3. A.I. in Finance: The mobile apps of financial institutions will not only help banks to manage their financing operations but will help investors to better invest with the help of bots that have analyzed large chunks of financial data.
4. A.I. in Agriculture: Like with IoT in agriculture and farming, using A.I. in farming systems helps farmers to use mobile devices to better analyze weather patterns and even soil conditions, helping such specialists to know when and how to cultivate their crops.
5. A.I. in HealthCare: A.I. coupled with tablets and mobile apps have a wide array of applications in allowing doctors to better analyze diagnostic data and carry out bioinformatic analyses to meet the ever-changing needs of Precision Medicine, among other things.
6. A.I. in Gaming: A.I. has existed in gaming for decades, and is one of the more fundamental uses of A.I. up until 2020. As mobile games become more and more common, the development and deployment of complex A.I. systems within mobile gaming platforms and apps will be paramount to the evolution of games on mobile consoles, giving users an extra challenge.
7. A.I. in Autonomous Vehicles: A.I. in self-driving cars will be one of the most necessary components so cars can “learn” and drive themselves in the same way that a human would drive them. As mobile devices become more commonplace in integrating with advanced technology, mobile developers will be needed to develop apps and mobile OS features that will allow the deployment of A.I. within autonomous vehicles.
8. A.I. in Chatbots: A.I. systems are the foundation of chatbots, which give users a new way to interact and communicate with mobile devices.

Powerful Apps with 5G Technology

2020 begins the age of 5G, which is an enhanced, much faster, and more robust mobile network that increases the speed of streaming data to, and from mobile devices, including smartphones, smartwatches, wearable tech (IoT), self-driving cars, etc. Since 5G will allow the direct streaming of data to and from many mobile devices –  not just mobile phones – this gives mobile developers a myriad of opportunities to engineer mobile apps for the new, super-fast mobile systems that will drive such new IT systems.

Leverage Mobile Development To Keep Your Business Relevant

Mobile development is the new phase of technology that is here to stay. As of 2020, mobile development is a rapidly growing industry that is tightly integrated with the rapidly expanding advanced technology industries, which include everything from smart, A.I.-powered Chatbots, to the Internet of Things, to wearable, smart tech, to AR technology, etc. Regarding the rapid expansion of IoT markets and devices – where wearable technology becomes ubiquitous – mobile development will become the impetus for how such technologies evolve due to mobile systems/apps underpinning how such technologies operate.

“Black Adam” is now streaming on HBO Max, giving more fans a chance to watch the DC antihero movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

The Rock has unfollowed the Black Adam and Warner Bros. Discovery’s Instagram accounts.

“Black Adam” premiered in theaters on October 21. It centers around Teth-Adam (Johnson), a superhuman from ancient Kahndaq who used his godly powers for vengeance and was then quickly imprisoned. After nearly 5,000 years, present-day archeologists free Adam so he can help save Kahndaq from the crime syndicate Intergang. However, he’s provoked by the Justice Society: Doctor Fate (played by Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo) and Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell).

Zodiac signs who make the most loyal partners

Loyalty is a quality we all look out for in each of our relationships. Whether it is our friends, siblings, partners, etc. loyalty is something that helps us trust them and rely on them. However, there is no doubt about the fact that loyalty is a quality that is very hard to find in people. Thus, we must appreciate the few loyal people we have in our lives, be it family or friends.

Pure loyalty is a trait that only a few people religiously have. It is not just about cheating but also about defending your partner whenever necessary and sticking up for them. One displays such loyalty very rarely and only to those they want to commit to for life. It is possible to identify such people with the help of astrology. And this can be done by analysing the intricacies and prospects of people’s personalities with the twelve astrological zodiac signs. Hence, here listed are some of the zodiac signs who are likely to be the most loyal partners.

Taurus

They are honest, very loyal and comforting to the people around them. They are considered to be very loyal people who stick up to their close ones in the toughest situations. Even though they can be really stubborn but once they commit to someone, they will stay by their side forever.

Gemini
