After Facer, Pujie and WatchMaker announce Wear OS 6 support

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-26 06:11:07

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR After Facer, watch face distribution apps Pujie and WatchMaker are extending support for Wear OS 6. The updated versions comply with Google’s mandate to switch to the new Watch Face Format. While Pujie is separating development into two apps (for new and old watches), WatchMaker is likely to continue using just one. With Wear OS 5, Google introduced a new standard to make watch faces more power-efficient. And, to ensure watch face designers and develo

Internet age verification begins rollout, and Apple is set to be dragged into it

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-26 09:52:04

The UK has become the first major country to introduce a legal requirement for internet age verification, but it affects all websites and apps worldwide. Additionally, the US has recently revived a bill very similar to the British legislation. While the law was presented as a way to prevent children accessing adult websites, the reality is very different, and we’re already seeing the privacy risks of good intentions being turned into bad legislation – with iMessage and FaceTime in the firing li

Google makes great apps, but these aren’t it if you ask me

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-25 21:00:23

Andy Walker / Android Authority Google is a software company and knows how to make great apps. I mean, I use apps like Gmail, Maps, YouTube, and Drive on a regular basis. Then there are its AI-focused apps like NotebookLM, which is by far the most underrated app in Google’s arsenal. However, there are a few apps I think are way underdeveloped and need some serious work. They’re simply too basic for me, or lack many of the features you get with the competition. I know Google is all about simpli

Do not download the app, use the website

news.ycombinator.com Ibrahim Diallo 2025-12-26 08:07:09

The 2010s was the Wild West of the mobile world. "Mobile-first" was the buzzword, much like "AI-first" is today. Every company, from the biggest social media giants to your local pizza parlor, seemed to be pestering you to download their app. There was a genuine hype train, and everyone was on board. The apps, frankly, were always mediocre, and a far cry from the full functionality of their website counterparts. But the message was clear. If you weren't on mobile, you were falling behind. Fast

The role of the cybersecurity PM in incident-driven development

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-27 04:01:11

Article written by cybersecurity expert Yuriy Tsibere. Gone are the days when cybersecurity meant stopping annoying viruses like the Love Bug. Today, it’s about battling a massive, financially motivated cybercrime industry. Attacks are smarter, faster, and more damaging—and that changes everything for product teams. For product managers (PMs), this means understanding that attackers are constantly exploiting the same weak spots: stolen admin credentials, missing multi-factor authentication (MF

zdnet.com Elyse Betters Picaro 2025-12-27 08:26:00

Why is my Fire TV running so slow? That's a complex question to answer. It could be the age of your device. Older hardware might struggle to load the latest apps and services.

Android’s new ‘Expanded’ dark mode darkens apps without a dark theme — but there’s a catch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 08:11:48

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR For accessibility, Android will soon let you enable a dark theme in apps that don’t have one. A new “Expanded” dark mode option forces apps to go dark, but it may cause visual issues. This feature is live in the second Android Canary build, but its stable release date is unknown. If you tell people that you use light mode on your phone, some people will look at you like you’re crazy. That’s because many people prefer dark mode UIs because they’re general

iPadOS 26 preview: A long-awaited multi-tasking update pays off (so far)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-30 03:25:22

I’m not going to beat around the bush: iPadOS 26 and its new multitasking features are a game-changer for Apple’s tablets. Pretty much ever since Steve Jobs introduced the iPad 15 years ago (!), Apple has tried to straddle two worlds. In one, the iPad is a super-simple, easy-to-use tablet with a gorgeous display and tons of good apps from the App Store for gaming, entertainment and light work. The other world is one where the iPad replaces your traditional computer, letting people do the serious

You can actually multitask on an iPad now and it’s the best new feature in 15 years

theverge.com Todd Haselton 2025-12-30 03:14:21

I’ve gone back and forth over the years on whether or not I can actually work from an iPad. The answer has always been: sort of. I can write on an iPad. I can edit on an iPad. So, I guess I’ve always been able to “work” from an iPad. But with a Magic Keyboard and an iPad running the iPadOS 26 beta, I can work like I would right on my MacBook or Surface Pro, using a bunch of windows plastered all over the place.

Here’s what Apple Intelligence summarized news notifications look like on iOS 26

After launching notification summaries as one of the flagship features of Apple Intelligence, Apple disabled the feature for apps in the News and Entertainment categories in the iOS 18.3 update, following backlash from publications like the BBC about Apple Intelligence portraying its news headlines inaccurately. Having been disabled entirely for these apps since mid-January, Apple announced this week the feature will return as part of iOS 26. Users running the developer have noticed that these
