Automate tasks on Android and never forget a birthday text again - here's how

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-09-12 08:44:15

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET One of Android's best qualities is its flexibility. If there's something you want to achieve on your Android phone, chances are pretty good you can accomplish it. As far as task automation, you can use the built-in Rules feature, but that's fairly limited. There's also Modes, but (again) that's fairly limited. That's why I generally turn to an automation app to make the feature even more powerful on Android. One such app is called MacroDroid. You can read about what this ap

A second major academic institution has accused Uber of using opaque computer code to dramatically increase its profits at the expense of the ride-hailing app’s drivers and passengers. Research by academics at New York’s Columbia Business School concluded that the Silicon Valley company had implemented “algorithmic price discrimination” that had raised “rider fares and cut driver pay on billions of … trips, systematically, selectively, and opaquely”.
