Google and Apple work together to combat unwanted tracking from item trackers
9To5Mac | Google Security Blog
Apple has partnered with Google to create a draft specification that will alert users about unwanted tracking by Bluetooth item trackers, including Apple's AirTags (and the future Nest Locator Tag).
The technology will allow Bluetooth location-tracking devices to be compatible with unauthorized tracking detection and alerts across iOS and Android.
The specification has been submitted as an Internet-Draft via the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), with companies such as Samsung, Tile, Chipolo, Eufy, and Pebblebee having interest in supporting the technology.
A production implementation of the specification for unwanted tracking alerts is planned to be released by the end of 2023, and will be supported in in future versions of iOS and Android.

Signing in Google Account without password is now a reality
Google Blog
While signing in any of your accounts, you are usually required to enter your password to make sure that's really you. This might feel annoying as you do it multiple times, but Google's next attempt to deal with this problem is by removing the process of doing so, that means no more entering password for signing in soon.
Just like how you can unlock your phone these days, you can use your PIN, fingerprint or face to sign in. If your device is lost or any suspicious activity happened with your account, you can revoke the specific passkey from your account settings.
Google Account passkeys feature is supported on major platforms and browsers. Existing sign-in methods still work for old platforms if needed, and you can add the passkey to your account via this link to ease the process if interested.

First impressions of Pixel 7a are out
Munchy
The YouTuber Munchy has managed to acquire a working Pixel 7a before the launch. Because of this, we got to see some camera samples, sound test and specifications of the phone.
Specifications:
• 6.1 inch 90Hz 1080x2400px (20:9) Samsung S6E3FC5 panel (like Pixel 7)
• Tensor G2 SoC
• 8GB LPDDR5 RAM + 128GB UFS 3.1 storage
• 64MP IMX787 main sensor + 13MP ultrawide (upscaled to 16MP?)
• 13MP selfie camera with 4K30FPS recording
• 4300mAh battery
• 193 gram weight (6.8 ounces)
• Plastic frame & back
• Goodix fingerprint sensor
• Stereo speakers
• 18W wired charging and 5W QI wireless charging
The fingerprint sensor is similar in speed to the Pixel 7. Like the Pixel 7 it features Face Unlock, Clear Calling and Long Exposure, but it has no Action Mode and Cinematic Mode. From the factory, it comes with the March 2023 security patch.
You can watch the full video right here.
