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

Welcome to the 510th edition of Android Apps Weekly. Once again we bring you the latest news and apps from the previous week. Let’s start with some of the biggest headlines from last week, which are very much dominated by Google in this week’s update:

  • Fitbit’s latest software update brings back step streaks to iOS, while also introducing the feature to Android users for the very first time. What is Step Streaks? In short, it motivates you to keep your running streak going for as long as possible. Be sure to follow the link to learn more about the latest Fitbit changes. 
  • A new code dive has shed light on an upcoming Google Message feature: Noise cancellation for voice recordings. This could be a very handy feature in situations where ambient noise is very loud, such as a coffee shop. 
  • YouTube recently started embracing AI in a big way and has begun by rolling out a variety of AI test features to select Premium Subscribers. This includes a new conversational AI chatbot, AI summaries of the comment sections, and more. 
  • A few days later Google also revealed another new YouTube AI experiment called Dream Track. This feature lets you type out an idea and then pick from a carousel of artists to create a 30-second Short soundtrack using the artist’s voice. Some of the participating artists include Demi Lovato, John Legend, T-Pain, and Charlie Puth. 
  • Yet another Google-related code dive! Reportedly, Google Play contains code indicating a new feature called Cubes. This is a WIP feature that would help with content discovery across various categories including what to read, what to play, what to listen to, and more. 
  • Google first announced plans for Photo Stack earlier this year, but now its new Google Stack photo feed has begun rolling out to some users. The new interface is much cleaner and easier to use, making it a welcome change. 
  • Google has also begun rolling out Profile Discovery to Google Messages. In short, the feature allows you to create a profile with your name and photo to help those with your phone number or email recognize you in Google products.

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
