Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung developed a feature called location-based navigation that scans your messages for locations and lets you quickly start navigating to those destinations from your car screen. This feature is available in Samsung Auto, which is Samsung’s version of Android Auto available in the Chinese version of One UI. Android Auto currently doesn’t offer an equivalent feature, but we argue it should for safety reasons. Android Auto is one of Android’s best featu

This extends to apps like Spotify, YouTube, and YouTube Music when playing content locally or casting and to apps like Netflix when casting. The One UI 7 hype is real, as Samsung finally gets around to updating its devices to Android 15, months after the platform update was released and others got on board. As people get the

Anyone else feel like half the time their phone rings these days it's spam? Sometimes there's an alert before you even pick up, but other times it takes being in the call to know. Well, Google is now making it easier to do the latter, adding in-call scam detection to the Pixel Watch. The new AI-powered feature gives a loud beep at the start of the call and every couple minutes afterward. It will give a notification, beep and vibration in cases where a scam is very likely.

The Android 15 update blocked Link to Windows from mirroring notifications with two-factor authentication codes as the OS deemed them “sensitive.” Microsoft has found a workaround that allows Phone Link to mirror these notifications, but the workaround isn’t available on all devices.
