These 8 features on my Pixel secretly boost my daily productivity

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-03 18:00:13

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Android is a treasure trove of features — Pixels even more so. The deeper you dig, the more you find. Our own Mishaal Rahman can probably vouch for that, considering he manages to unearth more features than Google even advertises. And that says a lot about a platform most of us rely on daily, on our primary devices, our phones. After spending years immersed in the bright and colorful world of Android, I’ve naturally developed a few personal favorites; features t

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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-03 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 tried one of the first Material 3 Expressive apps so I could see the future of Android

Joe Maring / Android Authority Ever since Google announced Material 3 Expressive in May, I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on Android’s new design language. However, with Android 16 QPR1 not rolling out until later this year, and Google still in the testing phases of Material 3 Expressive redesigns for its apps, it’s going to be a while before we really feel the impact of Android’s big redesign. Thankfully, it’s now possible to get a little taste of what it’ll be like. Last week, t

Last week, Shrinking landed seven Emmy nominations, including Harrison Ford’s first, for his role as the curmudgeonly Paul Rhodes. This week, the show wrapped filming for its third season, and Apple TV+’s Instagram account shared the video of a very emotional Harrison Ford thanking the crew, and hoping for another round. ‘The very, very best’ In the past, Ford has spoken about how, since Shrinking first aired, people have stopped hunting him down the street for pictures, and instead tend to as

DJI couldn't confirm or deny it disguised this drone to evade a US ban

is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets, games, and toys. He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget. DJI barely sells drones in the United States anymore. The shelves are bare; resellers are jacking up prices. It appears an unofficial ban at US customs is to blame. But on Amazon, you can now buy a drone that’s a a dead ringer for the DJI Mini 4 Pro — the SkyRover X1 — for a reasonable $758. And that’s probably because DJI made it happen.

Apple dodges new Dutch ruling on dating app fees (for now)

In June, a Dutch court upheld a prior antitrust ruling against Apple, in a case involving dating apps and the App Store commission. Today, the case was put on pause, as the country’s watchdog awaits the outcome of Apple’s DMA negotiations with the European Commission.

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

Vince Gilligan’s New Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Show Is Coming Real Soon

Amid all the hubbub of San Diego Comic-Con weekend, Apple TV finally unveiled its new sci-fi drama series, Pluribus, created by Breaking Bad creator and Better Call Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan. Although Pluribus is Gilligan’s first venture into sci-fi, it will feature a familiar face: Rhea Seehorn from Better Call Saul.

India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch

Dating App That Lets Women ‘Rate’ Men Hits Number 1 on the App Store, Immediately Suffers Data Breach

Tea, an app that lets women “rate” and “review” the men in their lives, has been on a hot streak lately, having shot to the top of the App Store and enjoyed several recent write-ups in major media outlets. Unfortunately, the app has now disclosed a data breach involving self-submitted user images.
