Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 currently lacks native access to Google’s new Daily Hub feature, requiring sideloading and a manually-created shortcut. We’ve managed to activate the Daily Hub card in the Google Discover feed to give you an early look. We’ve also spotted a yet-unreleased Gold Price card in Discover. The Pixel 10 series has started reaching the hands of users, and most of them will be surprised to find that Daily Hub, one of the highlight features of the

With developer verification, I’m struggling to think of Android as a proper smartphone platform

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-28 15:20:25

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority When I first started using a smartphone, the choice between Android and iOS felt like an easy one. Sure, Apple had an attractive UI, and an early lead on third-party software support, but going the iPhone route meant living in Apple’s walled garden. And while there are absolutely benefits to that kind of approach, it just fundamentally felt wrong to me: I viewed smartphones as the next phase of general-purpose computers, and wasn’t interested in a platform loc

This new screen now clearly indicates the phone is lost or stolen and has been locked with Find Hub. As part of the redesign, we also see bigger buttons to call the owner or contact emergency services.

The change could impact readers who rely on sideloaded apps on their Android-based eReaders. The new requirement will begin rolling out in September 2026.

We sideloaded the app on Samsung and vivo phones, and it generally worked as expected. Daily Hub is effectively Google’s take on Samsung’s Now Brief.
