One UI 8 will let any app show a Live Notification in Samsung’s Now Bar

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-07 20:31:09

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s One UI 8 will enhance its Live Notifications feature by adopting Android 16’s new “Live Updates” API for broader third-party app support. This new API allows any app to create live, ongoing notifications, a major improvement from the previous version limited to mostly first-party Samsung apps. The feature is currently available in the One UI 8 beta behind a developer flag but is expected to be enabled for everyone in the final stable release.

Android 16’s Live Updates won’t work with your favorite music player, and that’s a bummer

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-08 10:00:04

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new feature that elevates ongoing notifications to the status bar, but it excludes media playback notifications. This is because media apps use a dedicated “Media style” template, which is not one of the specific styles that can be promoted to a Live Update. Switching styles would cause media apps to lose key playback controls and features, a trade-off developers are unlikely to make for this new functionality. Li

This app tells me I’m going to die 5 times a day, and I love it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-22 09:30:23

Matt Horne / Android Authority Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been showing friends a notification on my phone. It simply reads, “Don’t forget, you’re going to die.” Most of them immediately responded by looking at me with a mixture of confusion and concern. I like to let that look sit for a moment before explaining what’s going on. Far from suggesting that I’m unraveling mentally, these notifications are from an app that wants me to cherish life. It’s called WeCroak, and it sends me five

7 Ways to Limit Your Endless Doomscrolling

wired.com David Nield 2026-03-08 02:00:00

If you actually measure the amount of time you spend scrolling through algorithm-led social media feeds each day, it will probably add up to more hours and minutes than you’d guess. Time can quickly slip away while you're checking up on friends, celebrities, the news, and the viral memes of the day. The term doomscrolling has sprung up to describe this behavior, which, let's face it, isn't usually the most edifying or the best for our mood. It's no surprise that the word began to gain traction

Inside a Dark Adtech Empire Fed by Fake CAPTCHAs

krebsonsecurity.com Unknown 2026-03-17 09:14:00

Late last year, security researchers made a startling discovery: Kremlin-backed disinformation campaigns were bypassing moderation on social media platforms by leveraging the same malicious advertising technology that powers a sprawling ecosystem of online hucksters and website hackers. A new report on the fallout from that investigation finds this dark ad tech industry is far more resilient and incestuous than previously known. In November 2024, researchers at the security firm Qurium publishe

Android 16 reduces notification clutter with this simple but needed change

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-18 08:00:03

TL;DR Android 16 will automatically group all notifications from the same app to create a more organized notification panel. While Android has supported notification grouping for years, it was largely up to app developers to implement. This behavior is now enforced by the OS, preventing any single app from cluttering the notification panel and making alerts more manageable for users. With the new Android 16 update, Google is introducing several major changes to how notifications look and beha

TL;DR Last September, Google disabled automatic Assistant notification reading on the Pixel Buds Pro. Now Google is doing the same for Assistant with all headphones. You can still hear your notifications by manually asking Assistant to read them. Headphones paired with smartphones offer a whole lot more than just a private way to listen to music, and especially when headphones are integrated with Google Assistant, they instantly become powerful tools for interacting with our phones.
