Google is making Android’s touchpad controls more like a desktop OS

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-16 16:29:58

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR To improve Android’s capabilities on laptops and tablets, Google is adding more advanced touchpad settings. An upcoming update introduces a customizable three-finger tap gesture for actions like launching Gemini, going home, or middle-clicking. Later versions will expand on this by letting you map the gesture to open any app and will also add a toggle for touchpad acceleration. Last month, Google revealed it plans to combine Chrome OS and Android into a s

In Brief Google has removed the names of more than 50 DEI groups from a list of companies to which it substantially contributes, according to a new watchdog report and as reported by CNBC. The list, Google’s 2024 selection of groups and organizations backed by Google’s U.S. Government Affairs and Public Policy team, no longer features the names of 58 DEI groups, including the Latino Leadership Alliance and the ACLU of Illinois.

Tired of Google Home not working? This new change will make you furious

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is updating names for certain voice options for Gemini-powered Assistant on Google Nest and Home smart devices. Some of these names are now simpler and easier to recall. These changes do not reflect Google’s plans to fix the ongoing reliability issues with Google Assistant on Home-affiliated smart devices.

This is the Google Maps feature I really want to see

Andy Walker / Android Authority Thanks to my extremely poor sense of direction, Google Maps is an essential travel app for me — for both short trips to different parts of the city, as well as longer routes that I have no chance of memorizing. I’ve come to love the traffic estimates, alternate route options, and the ability to avoid tolls. But there’s a feature that I think Google Maps sorely needs: warning users of dangerous routes with high crime, with alternative routes suggested. Do you tr

Building a DIY TV box made me realize how awful Google TV really is

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Like many affordable smart TVs, mine runs on a frankly garbage processor that makes trawling through my TV’s updated Google TV interface a real chore. Quad‑core Cortex‑A55 CPUs are pretty standard but also as cheap as they come, and paired with a tight-fisted 1.5GB RAM, it’s easy to see why the UI experience is just so bad on my TV and many others.

Google has for years been harnessing the power of its Android smartphones to detect and measure tens of thousands of earthquakes. In a new paper published in the journal Science, researchers from the search giant described how they used motion sensors from its two billion-strong network of phones running Android between the years 2021 and 2024 to detect and alert quakes to users in almost 100 countries around the world.

7 ways Google could make a Pixel Flip the best flip phone foldable out there

What if you want a pocket-friendly Pixel foldable, though? Unfortunately, Google hasn’t launched a Pixel Flip, and we don’t expect one any time soon.
