5 apps you should use instead of Messenger

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-09 00:30:59

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Messenger is one of the most popular messaging services around, especially in the US, but it has its faults. Group chats, for example, are not end-to-end encrypted by default, meaning the company that runs it — Meta — can technically read your messages. And since Meta owns it, we can assume it collects a lot of user information that’s then used for targeted ads, just like most big tech companies do. Users also criticize the app for being bloated, as it has e

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Google is implementing a big redesign of Android with Material 3 Expressive. This updated design language will spread across apps and Android itself with the upcoming Android 16 QPR1 update. And despite updating most of its apps, Google is overlooking widgets again with this release, keeping the same old Material You design for several of them, while Apple and other Android OEMs like Samsung have taken widget design more seriously.

Sean Gunn Wants You to Think Maxwell Lord Is Part of the (Justice) Gang

In a conversation with the Reel Rejects, actor Sean Gunn discussed his role as Maxwell Lord as a connective thread between Superman and Peacemaker. Portraying the megabucks metahuman investor as someone who wants to work alongside metahumans is key to Gunn, and his take is to make sure he’s in the know of the choices being made, from outfits to the mural in the Hall of Justice. “There’s no way that somebody in charge like that wouldn’t be aware of what’s going on, and we can tell,” he shared.

The jobs most likely to be replaced by artificial intelligence all have one thing in common, a new study has found. The World Economic Forum studied business sectors globally and found that industries with loads of high-quality data could have AI adoption rates around 60-70%, but those with less or fragmented data thus far have seen less than 25% of their jobs taken over by AI.
