androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-13 06:02:44

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new, in-app community forum for gamers within the Play Store. The feature will allow users to create posts, share tips, ask questions, and start discussions around games. We’ve been tracking a new forum-like feature within the Google Play Store for many months. Initially, the clues weren’t sufficient to reach a conclusion, so we refrained from sharing them. But now we’ve seen enough of them to preliminarily conclude that Google

As a Pixel Watch fan, here are the 3 reasons I’m excited about the Pixel Watch 4

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I’ve been a Google Pixel Watch user and fan since the original launched in 2022. I wore it every day — except when I was charging it — and then upgraded to the Pixel Watch 2 and later to the 45mm Pixel Watch 3. In the last three years, you could hardly see me without Google’s smartwatch strapped to my wrist, and for good reason. I love the Fitbit integration and the fact that I can keep my existing fitness data rolling without wearing a standalone tracker. The

Fortnite returned to the App Store in the US back in May after a federal court ruling, and is now set to return in Australia too after a similar judgment there. While Epic Games celebrated the ruling, the fate of the app in other countries still remains far from certain – and its availability in the US may be temporary … A quick recap Epic Games was thrown out of Apple’s App Store rules by introducing its own in-app payment system, bypassing Apple’s 30% commission – a blatant breach of Apple’
