Pixel Launcher's app suggestions change with animation
Android 12L has added a lot of animations in several places, like opening the Internet and QS tiles for example, making the experience of using it feel smooth.
Another added animation in Android 12L is the app suggestions. The suggestions will change with animations going upwards. Yet another nice addition making the OS much more smooth and natural to use. Nice job, Google!

Gmail fixes annoying ‘undo’ button bug on Android 12
9To5Google
I don't think many people know about this bug, but anyway, Gmail is recently rolling out an update to fix the "undo" button bug in the notification.
If you frequently used Gmail quick action to archive (or delete) mail, then you will notice the notification will appear for a few seconds with an "undo" button to revert your action. On Android 12, the feature has been broken for a while actually, users have to minimise the notification in order to get to see the "undo" button.
On Gmail app version 2021.11.14, the bug has been resolved, with the "Undo" button now appearing properly when the notification is expanded.

Microsoft Team app update fixed emergency calling 911 issue on Android phone
Mishaal Rahman | Medium | Previous post
Earlier a Pixel 3 user posted on Reddit that he wasn't able to dial emergency number 911, and later Google responded that it a bug caused by Microsoft Team app for users who didn't sign in. An update for the app has been distributed to fix the issue.
The app version 1416/1.0.0.2021194504 of Microsoft Teams app should fix the issue, and it's rolling out to the Play Store. Meanwhile Mishaal Rahman also has released a post on Medium (link above), explaining how the issue is happening in details.
Here's a preview of what's happening. Microsoft Teams is used as a phone application to register an account (PhoneAccount) with the system. If you are not signed in, it will re-register a new PhoneAccount with every cold launch.
Once the number of PhoneAccounts generated reaches a certain amount, the system might mistakenly hand over the process to Teams. Since Teams itself cannot handle it, so users can't make emergency calls. When you are signed in, it won't register redundant PhoneAccount repeatedly, hence the bug won't occur.
Either way, the issue is solved with app update, it is available to download from Play Store or APKMirror.

To better organise your subnoscription feed, YouTube might roll out a nifty feature for your subnoscription page soon.
For now, YouTube only show all your subnoscriptions in one page, which you might feel there are too annoying if you have subscribed to a lot of channels. YouTube is solving this issue by introducing Collections.
Collections will be similar to folder, which can let you select several channels and gather them into one group, and entering the specific collection will only show up the creators' videos that you have selected for that collection.
It's unclear whether the feature will be available in every platform like TV when it is make available. Anyway your subnoscriptions feed can now be much more organised soon.
