Google could be building a new nook for your Gemini creations (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-05 20:00:34

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a new “My Stuff” section for the Gemini interface on Android. While its purpose isn’t clear, it could be used to store media generated using Gemini, separate from your chats. A similar section for storing AI-generated media is also present in ChatGPT, and it is known as “Library.” Gemini is already quite powerful as a virtual assistant, and is raking up new features as Google prepares to replace Google Assistant with it entirely.

It’s time for Google to address this major Play Store issue

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-05 21:00:20

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority Google’s Play Store has a serious problem, and it’s something that’s a big source of frustration for me. While many apps on the Play Store offer subscriptions, I find it nearly impossible to figure out the exact price before I download them. Google makes it clear that an app offers “in-app purchases” right on the main page, but it never gives me the crucial pricing information I need. This might seem like a small issue, but for me, it matters a lot. Price is

It’s unclear if Google Photos on Android will get this easy sticker creation feature.
