Google is killing Android Instant Apps, but you probably won’t miss them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-20 10:22:15

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Google is discontinuing its Android Instant Apps feature in December 2025. The feature allowed users to try parts of an app without needing to perform a full installation from the Play Store. Low developer adoption is the likely reason for the shutdown, as creating the small, instant-enabled app versions required a lot of work. There are many different ways to interact with a digital service, but the average smartphone user tends to prefer using a mobile a

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-20 10:15:01

We've been covering all the news Apple announced at WWDC 2025, but possibly the most exciting element coming to iOS 26 wasn't discussed on stage. The next update to the operating system will let people set custom snooze times. MacRumors reported that iOS 26 will offer anywhere from one to 15 minute snoozes that users can select when setting the alarm. For years, Apple has kept the snooze timing locked at nine minutes.

Apple Execs Get Seriously Flustered Trying to Explain the Company's Dismal AI Failure

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-20 15:36:54

Apple is facing some intense scrutiny after yet again flubbing its AI tech. During the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on Tuesday, the company showed off its latest vision for "Apple Intelligence," a suite of tools that use machine learning to scan images for objects or smush emojis together to form custom Franken-reacts — cutesy ideas that fall vastly short of the ambition of competitors in the space like OpenAI.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Meta AI users are accidentally sharing personal chats to a public Discover feed. Some users seem to think that the Share button saves chats privately. The publicly shared chats include confessions, medical info, and legal dilemmas. If you’ve ever shared something personal with Meta’s AI assistant, you might want to double-check who saw it.
