Google is fixing Meet’s messy invitations on Android (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 14:00:26

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a simpler method to add new people to an ongoing call in Meet for Android. It could replace the current method, which involves sharing the call link with people. With the new functionality, you would be able to invite contacts by using their email addresses or phone numbers. It’s been a few years since Google Meet was merged with Duo for a more integrated video calling experience on mobile. While the new app has many exciting fea

Why I love (and hate) the Pixel Watch 4’s utterly bizarre new charger

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 22:30:30

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority A leaked render surfaced yesterday showing the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 4’s new charging mechanism, and it’s safe to say that it received a lot of gut reactions from us here at Android Authority. From “… interesting,” to “I strongly dislike that,” to a clear “I hate this,” my colleagues’ thoughts weren’t all that positive, but I took one look at it and… liked it?! I guess. There’s no denying that the contraption looks bizarre and unlike most smartwatch cha

Why I am a Pixel guy

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-02 00:00:09

I’ve been an Android guy for 15 years. Fun fact: I have never owned an iPhone. I’ve been on Team Android since day one, and over that decade and a half, I’ve used phones from nearly every major brand you can think of — Samsung, LG, OnePlus, and more. But for the past few years, I’ve been all-in on one brand: Google Pixel. My current daily driver is the Google Pixel 9 Pro, and whenever I need to use another phone for work, I immediately find myself missing it. But what is it about this phone, an

Google is testing a vibe-coding app called Opal

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2026-01-02 00:22:51

AI-powered coding tools have become so popular over the past few months that almost every major tech company is either using one or making its own. Makers of these so-called “vibe-coding” tools are a hot commodity at the moment, with startups like Lovable and Cursor fending off buyers and investors keen to tap a hot trend. Google’s now become the latest to hop on this bandwagon: the company is testing a vibe-coding tool called Opal, available to users in the U.S. through Google Labs, which the

Google spoofed via DKIM replay attack: A technical breakdown

news.ycombinator.com Gerasim Hovhannisyan 2026-01-01 23:28:40

This morning started with a call from a friend – clearly shaken. He had just received an alarming email that looked strikingly legitimate. Unsure whether it was safe or a scam, he reached out to me for help verifying its authenticity. What followed was a deep dive into the message to determine whether it was a genuine communication or a cleverly crafted phishing attempt. The email was convincing enough to create real concern, and that’s what makes this story worth sharing. This was the email:

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A new Google Web Guide feature uses AI to sort search results into categories. It’s part of Search Labs and is now available under the Web tab for opted-in users. The feature could expand to other parts of Search as testing progresses. Ever feel like your search results are just a wall of blue links in a random order?

Testers get access to cutting-edge features that still may not be stable enough for regular use. Today Google shares that its second Android Canary release is now available.

Google's latest AI adventure is a new option for search. Web Guide is a new way that Google will organize search results based on analysis by a dedicated version of its Gemini artificial intelligence tool. The claim in the announcement is that AI can help surface the most relevant content, but it could also be a new way for Google to control what websites get prime billing in results.

The Pixel Watch 4 could use an entirely different charging system when its officially announced in a few weeks, according to leaked renders from Android Headlines. Rather than charging through fiddly pogo pins like past Pixel Watches, the renders suggest Google might finally adopt a simpler form of wireless charging.

Search is changing at a breakneck pace, with Google rolling out new AI features so quickly it can be hard to keep up. So far, these AI implementations are being offered in addition to the traditional search experience. However, Google is now offering a sneak peek at how it may use AI to change the good old-fashioned list of blue links.

Google on Thursday is launching a new AI-powered feature called Web Guide for organizing Google Search results. Web Guide is a Search Labs experiment that leverages AI technology to organize the search results page by grouping pages related to specific aspects of the search query.

Yes, it’s that special time of summer when we find out almost everything there is to know about Google’s upcoming crop of flagships, from camera sensors to chipsets to, most importantly, colors.

Google Neutralizes Its Rivals… For Now

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-03 08:00:37

For over two decades, “Google it” has been the default way to find answers online. Now that dominance is being tested by a new wave of AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and upstarts such as Perplexity, which deliver conversational answers instead of a list of links. These disruptors are being cast as a mortal threat to Google Search, long the undisputed king of the internet. But on Wednesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai delivered a powerful counter-narrative, armed with staggering new data that sugge
