Academics at the Radboud University in the Netherlands and IMDEA Networks said they discovered Meta and Yandex have been tracking Android users' browser activity without their consent and then using the data in their apps. Meta said it was looking into the issue, while Yandex denied collecting any sensitive data. Gunes Acar, assistant professor at Radboud

A hot potato: For years, the privacy of Android users browsing the web has been quietly compromised by a sophisticated tracking method employed by two of the world's largest tech companies: Meta and Yandex. According to recent research, both companies have exploited legitimate browser-to-app communication protocols to covertly link anonymous web activity with the identities of users logged into native apps like Facebook, Instagram, and various Yandex services on Android devices.

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel phones may soon get a “double tap to turn off screen” gesture in the Android 16 QPR1 update. A new toggle for this gesture is expected to appear in the Settings app under System > Gestures. However, this double tap gesture will reportedly only function on the lock screen, not the home screen. Reaching for the power button to wake your phone can be awkward if it’s on a table or stand. To address this, many Android phones let you double tap the sc

CNET's key takeaways I've been using Google's Pixel 9 Pro for months. I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. Android phones often get a bad rap for being overly convoluted. And to be fair, that's often well justified. Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu systems for messing about with nearly every aspect of the phone, along with features like the Edge Panel sidebar and a variety of Samsung's
