5 Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week – Android Apps Weekly

Welcome to the 498th edition of Android Apps Weekly. Here are the big headlines from the last week:

  • Bixby’s voice cloning feature is rolling out to more places. In fact, most folks should be able to try the feature via the Bixby Voice Creator app. The idea is that you can train Bixby using your own voice and then have it answer commands in your own voice. Hit the link to read more.
  • Nvidia GeForce Now is working with Xbox Game Pass starting this week. That means you can access games from both services at the same time from the same place. However, you do need subscriptions for both services individually. It’s not surprising, but it is something to keep in mind. You can read more at the link, but it’s a good move for consumers to get two competing products in the same space.
  • Strava introduced a new route-building feature this week. It lets you browse and view photos uploaded to the service by other Strava users. Strava uses AI to determine the most useful photos from its collection. Users can use those photos to better plan their workouts in more detail by choosing the various trails they want to hit.
  • Google is currently testing a hum-to-search feature for YouTube. The feature works as you would expect by searching YouTube for songs based on the song you hum. The feature is available to select folks as an experimental service. Google is also testing a shelf feature where you can view multiple uploads from a creator without visiting their page. Hit the link to learn more about both.
  • Android 14 may include a feature that includes a URL with your screenshot. It’ll most likely work with Google apps such as YouTube and Chrome first, which is fairly typical for new Android features. The idea is that you can send a screenshot of an article or video along with the link for that article and video. Thus, you can share two things at once.

I ditched Verizon’s TravelPass for a cheap eSIM in Europe, and I’d do it again

These days, it feels like accessible Wi-Fi networks are everywhere. From coffee shops to parks, you can almost always connect to the internet without too much trouble. At least, that’s what I thought while spending most of my days in the US with Verizon’s reliable network and a blanket of Xfinity data hotspots I could connect to while out and about. Then, I went to Amsterdam for a few days and quickly realized that the Wi-Fi access I’d become so used to wasn’t quite as universal as I expected. So, I did what anyone would do — I ditched my reliable US carrier in favor of a much cheaper data-only travel eSIM from Holafly, and it was the best $15 I spent. By the day? Or buy the data? from Android Authority https://ift.tt/24zyGaX

This new Android 15 feature could be bricking some Pixels

Credit: Robert Triggs / Android Authority The new Private Space feature introduced in Android 15 seems to be causing problems with Pixel 6 devices. Some users report that their device was bricked shortly after enabling the feature. It’s unclear how widespread the problem is. Last week, Google rolled out Android 15 to all eligible Pixel devices. The update is packed with several new features, including a privacy tool called Private Space. If you have a Pixel 6 device, you might want to avoid enabling Private Space, for now, as some users claim it has bricked their phone. For context, Private Space is a feature that carves out a space in your phone designed to be a separate and secure environment. Simply put, it’s like a digital safe that you can put your apps into if you want to hide them from prying eyes. from Android Authority https://ift.tt/yt8k0AU
