Google app for iOS gains Notifications tab to show all your followed topics in one place
9to5Google
Recently, the Google for iOS app is getting something new to let you visit all your current following topics in a single page.
Currently, most users are only seeing Home, Collections and Tabs in the bottom bar of the application. Some users are reporting they are seeing a new "Notifications" option and Google hinted to "tap the bell as you search to get updates on the things you care about."
When searching inside the Google app, you will see Knowledge Panels with a bell-icon on the top-right corner. Google also mentioned "notifications are only available for some trending topics, like people, places, or things.” The addition of the "Notifications" tab let users easily return to check all this information, even after forgetting about it.
It isn't widely rolled out as of now. It would be nice if the Android app could get something similar.

Google Phone brings Material You element to the dial pad
9to5Google
The dialer app by Google is picking up more Material You elements and this time it is arriving on the dial pad.
This was actually first spotted back in February, but has only started to roll out recently. The number buttons are pill-shaped when untouched, and will turn rectangular when you tap on it. You could also find something similar over on the Calculator app and the lock screen PIN pad on Android 12.
Minor change but a nice little touch. The redesign dial pad is currently available for most users on v78 and it is also rolling out to non-Pixel devices too.

Android 12 QPR3 Beta 2 includes a fix for the Dirty Pipe exploit
9To5Google
Google has updated the Linux kernel on the latest build for the Pixel 6 series from 5.10.66 to 5.10.81.
As the fix is kernel-based, they seem to be catching up to Samsung which has already fixed the mentioned issue in their April update.
Seems like Google patched it by themselves as the official fix in the 5.10 kernel is from 5.10.108 which the Pixel 6 running QPR3 Beta 3 is not running.
Update: Freak07 (the developer of the Kirisakura kernel for the Pixel 6) has confirmed the fix of this exploit.

#News #Pixel #RightToRepair
Google is collaborating with iFixit to provide easier access to parts for Pixel 2 and newer devices.
Google Blog
Following the Right to Repair bill and a similar announcement from Samsung and Motorola, Google has announced a partnership with iFixit where official parts and fix kits for Pixel phones will be available for purchase from iFixit’s online store.
Parts will be available for every Pixel phone since the Pixel 2, including the latest Pixel 6 phones (sorry, Pixel 1 owners), with plans to provide parts for future phone models as well.
This makes it one of the more comprehensive official OEM repair programs, with more device models being supported than Apple, which only supports the iPhone 12 and 13, and Samsung, which only supports their Galaxy S20, S21, and Galaxy Tab S7+.

🚨 ATTENTION ALL DEVELOPERS 🚨
A community member of ours (@aetrnl) is making a bounty for a 5G workaround module for unsupported countries by Google.
Sebastian is a Senior Member on XDA that made a bounty back in 2012 to find a developer that could unlock the bootloader on the LG 4X which succeeded.
If you're interested in seeing the progress join @Pixel5GBounty and if you would like to donate, the link is here. So far we've collected 65USD.
Rules:
- All collected money goes to the person who will share a working software mod (Magisk/Xposed module, modem patch or whatever works)
After tests, bounty gets finished and the money will be sent.
- If we don't succeed or Google comes with an official solution, I will cancel this campaign and contact the support to force a refund.
- The developer has to release the module on GitHub or provide a stable download source (self-hosted, Google Drive, Telegram etc)
