Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is removing a new Messages feature that made it easier to unsubscribe from automated business texts for users in the U.S. and Spain. The feature added a prominent unsubscribe button to chats, which sent a “STOP” command for the user after they provided a reason for unsubscribing. It’s unclear why the feature is being removed only in the U.S. and Spain but not other countries. Businesses, charities, and political campaigns send millions of auto

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-09-15 09:21:52

In its continued “Best Phones Forever” series, Google pokes a bit of fun at how many iOS 26 features are “inspired” by Pixel, while also teasing the Pixel 10. The “Best Phones Forever” series has been going for a while at this point, with Google using the series to point out how iPhone and Pixel co-exist, and occasionally throwing little jabs at the iPhone. Most recently, the “Responding to the Rumors” episode poked fun at a handful of iPhone features that Pixel had first. “Total coincidence.”

The best Android phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

The best Android phones in 2025 feature different models from multiple brands. That's the beauty of the current phone market, which spans from the best foldable phones, like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, that challenge the status quo, to cheap phones, like the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Google Pixel 9a, that cater to consumers on a budget. Just last month, Samsung kicked off the thin-phone craze with the Galaxy S25 Edge, and I expect other phone makers to follow suit in 2025.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal has long been home to the Canadian Grand Prix. The artificial island was originally built for Expo 67 but was later remodeled for the 1976 Olympics; a race track was then constructed out of the roads on the island in 1978.
