Latest Google Messages bug gives you two (or three) app icons

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-20 21:37:09

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A bug in the new Google Messages beta, version v20250811, is causing users to see two or even three app icons in their app drawer. The bug affects only beta users. All icons launch the same app, so their functionality is the same. Google Messages is the default messaging app on Android flagships, and most users will stick to the stable version since that is what ships on their phone.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be headed the wrong way on price, but it's going in the right direction for everything else. It's both slimmer and more powerful than any Fold before it, fitting the same battery and a new chipset into a body that's barely over four millimeters when open.

Elon Musk's DOGE Was Far More of a Dismal Failure Than We Thought

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-21 04:50:33

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency originally promised to save the government $2 trillion in waste. That target quickly dropped to $1 trillion. Then in April, Musk started intimating that the savings would only be in the region of $150 billion, making it clear to all but his most diehard supporters that DOGE was failing on its own terms — even going by its own dubious estimates of its progress. Now, it's looking like those purported "savings" are somehow even more pitiful than onc
