Google’s working on making it easier to find calls you’ve recorded (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-26 22:30:12

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Phone app supports call recording in select areas. Earlier this year we saw the Phone app picking up new filters to sort through your call log. Now the app appears to be working on a filter to quickly display calls that have been recorded. Being able to easily record a voice call is exactly the sort of thing a smartphone should be useful for, but messy legal concerns keep the feature from being nearly as ubiquitous as it should be. Google’s got

Joe Maring / Android Authority While Google has had an incredibly hectic week with the recent launch of the Pixel 10 series, that’s not all the company has been up to. Google has also been busy overhauling its Google Phone app with a load of Material 3 Expressive changes. Between the new home screen layouts, incoming call UI, and contact Calling Cards, the Phone app looks and feels dramatically different from what it did a few short weeks ago.

This button, on individual app pages, will make it easier to remotely uninstall apps from other devices. The Google Play Store forms an integral part of the Android flagship experience.

Google adds iPhone-like ‘Calling Cards’ to its Phone app

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-10-26 22:39:25

Google’s Phone app is adding “Calling Cards” that let you customize the appearance of contact screens for incoming calls. They’re similar to the Contact Poster feature that iPhone users have had since 2023, allowing Google Phone app users to replace the teeny contact photos that appear when someone is calling you with full-screen images and stylized names. The update is part of Android’s Material 3 Expressive design language overhaul, which Google used to test a revamped Phone app interface in

Google Photos adds image background removal for custom stickers, only on iOS

If you open up certain photos in your Google Photos library on iOS, you might notice the ability to turn those photos into a sticker by removing the background. A ring around the photo subject will appear after a second or two, indicating that you can use the photo to make a sticker. After that, you can either copy it to your clipboard or sha
