One UI 8 could let you silence the most annoying system indicator (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-11 09:33:08

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR One UI 8 may add an option to hide the location icon in the status bar when only system apps are accessing it. The icon would still appear when third-party apps access your location, alerting you to unexpected behavior. The change addresses complaints from Galaxy owners about the icon being almost constantly on since One UI 7. For months, Galaxy owners have complained about the location icon constantly lighting up in the status bar, often triggered by Sam

A year after discontinuing the rather disastrous FineWoven iPhone case, Apple will reportedly take a second shot at an alternative premium to leather cases. The latest development is the alleged name, and a potentially new Apple accessory that may be sold separately. TechWoven is the new case material name, says leaker Majin Bu, because a callback to FineWoven invokes such fond memories. The leaker previously shared shots of the new material, which appears to have less velvet-like smoothness a

Today’s big Made by Google event for the Pixel 10 was… something, but if nothing else, it showed a Google that was confident in the product it was bringing to the table.
