I built a focused, productive One UI 7 home screen using its most chaotic feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-23 11:00:01

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’ve had a blast using One UI 7 on my Galaxy phone. Now Bar has changed the way I juggle through playlists and monitor dishes in the oven, while its expanded Routines actions offers even more inventive ways of using its built-in automation feature. But one thing I’ve largely avoided until now was One UI Home. I’ve never been partial to stock launchers, but since I gave Pixel Launcher a fair chance and built a fairly productivity-minded home screen with it, it’s o

Android 16 QPR1 lets you close all your apps super quick, but should you?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-23 13:57:06

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 includes a quality-of-life improvement that allows immediate swiping away of recent apps to close them. The update removes the delay caused by waiting for the app-closing animations to finish, so users can quickly swipe-close all their apps one after the other. Despite the performance improvement, habitual app-clearing offers little benefit and may drain your battery. Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 is here, and eager enthusiasts are digging

Android Find Hub can now precisely locate your Moto Tag trackers thanks to UWB

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-23 16:20:37

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Android’s newly renamed Find Hub announced support for UWB tracking last month, starting with Moto Tag trackers. This week a new Moto Tag firmware update has been spotted that implements UWB support. In order to take advantage of the precise tracking, you’ll need a UWB-compatible smartphone. Summer’s heating up, and for a whole lot of us, that means travel plans. But when you’re scrambling to pack, it can be all too easy to misplace something critical, l

Google experiments with ditching the Favorites tab in the Phone app for a simpler layout

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-23 18:16:53

TL;DR Google is testing the removal of the Favorites tab in the Phone app. Favorite contacts appear as a horizontal row at the top of the Recents tab in the new layout. The frequent contacts section no longer has a place in this redesign. Google is testing a significant change to its dialer app, and it could mark the end of a familiar tab. On at least some Pixel 8 Pro devices running version 178.0.765584175-publicbeta of the Google Phone app, the standalone Favorites tab has been removed. Ins
