Google warns Wear OS users to install their favorite legacy watch faces before 2026

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-18 13:25:41

After Google introduced Watch Face Format (WFF) in 2023, WFF and non-WFF watch faces coexisted. This only lasted for a short time, however, as Google eventually made WFF mandatory. Since then, the company has been gradually phasing out support for non-WFF watch faces on Wear OS . Google has now announced the next step it will take to get to full adoption of WFF. If you’re a Wear OS user who cares about custom watch faces, then you may know that support for AndroidX and Wearable Support Library

Google surprisingly brings back Snapseed with major 3.0 update on iPhone

9to5mac.com Abner Li 2025-09-18 13:40:00

Google today surprisingly released a major 3.0 update for Snapseed that entirely redesigns the photo editing app on iPhone and iPad. Given the lack of major updates in several years, it seemed that Google abandoned Snapseed. Since the app worked locally and has no server-side component, it seemed like the company was happy to let the beloved editor linger. The last notable update to Snapseed for iOS was in 2021, with very minor updates in 2023 and 2024. Google today released version 3.0.0 of S

Mixtape turned me back into a Millennial teenage dirtbag

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-18 13:03:37

Mixtape is the answer to the question, “What if the movie High Fidelity was a video game?” It’s not a perfect analogy, but it’s pretty damn close, and either way it’s a sign that Mixtape is going to be a fabulous slice of late-1990s, early-2000s nostalgia, complete with a banging soundtrack. You can hear it in the trailers — Mixtape absolutely nails the classic Moviefone tone, and it seems that this vibe extends to the full game.
