Google Photos will soon backup your Locked Folder to the cloud
GappsModFlags

Developer @AssembleDebug has figured out a way to enable a soon-to-be released feature that will allow you to backup your Locked Folder to the cloud.

When backed up, you'll be able to access the photos even if you uninstall or clear data of Google Photos.

If you'd like to enable this feature, the GappsModFlags channel has a tutorial for that, which requires a rooted device.

Locked Folder backup is now out on Android, iOS and desktop web
Google Blog

With the Locked Folder, you can hide items from seeing them in the photo grid, memories, albums or the search.

The images will be accessible when you sign in to Google Photos and open Locked Folder with your passcode.

With this update, the Settings interface has been simplified to make it easier to adjust your privacy settings with sections for privacy, backup, sharing, notifications and more.

Locked Folder backup is rolling out to users today, and the redesigned settings interface is now available in Google Photos on Android and iOS.

The silence disappearance of Pixel Pass happened today
Google Support

Back in 2021 with the release of Pixel 6, Google offered the Pixel Pass subnoscription which had extra cloud storage and YouTube Premium for just $45.

Nearly two years later, Google has ended the plan with existing users receiving $100 worth of Google Store credits as the compensation.

Once the time is up, you can keep those subnoscriptions and purchase a new Pixel device. And if you would like to opt out of the Pixel Pass earlier, you will have to pay the remaining cost of the phone.

The Pixel Pass was supposed to be a program where users would get a phone upgrade every two years, which won't happen. With this whole thing going around, I wonder if it's grounds for a lawsuit.

The September 2023 Android Feature Drop is here! The Android Feature Drop is a roundup of new features in Google apps. The latest drop brings an updated At a Glance widget, new Android Auto apps, and improvements to Lookout, Wallet, and Routines. Here's a 🧵 about what's new:

Because this ALWAYS causes confusion, no, this is NOT the same thing as the Pixel Feature Drop. The Pixel Feature Drop is for new Pixel-exclusive features, while the Android Feature Drop is for new features in Google apps that are available to all Android devices.

1) The Google App's At a Glance widget is getting a visual revamp and new features. The widget will surface helpful information like weather alerts, travel updates, and event reminders. (Note: this is not the same At a Glance widget found on Pixel devices.)

2) With image Q&A, now out of closed beta, the Lookout app can automatically generate denoscriptions from images that have low quality captions or that don't have alt text at all. Users can then use their voice or type to ask questions about the image.

Lookout also now supports 11 new languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, bringing the total number of supported languages to 34.

3) Google Wallet now supports Pass photo import, letting you digitize any pass that has a barcode or QR code. You can, for example, upload an image of your gym or library card to store a digital version of it in Google Wallet.

4) Apps for Zoom and Webex by Cisco are coming to Android Auto, letting you join conference calls by audio and browse your meeting schedules right from your car display.

5) You can now get Assistant to automatically read out your activity and sleep data (from Fitbit or Google Fit) through a new action in personal Routines. For example, you can add the "get wellness info" action to the "Hey Google, good morning" routine.

Google is overhauling Android's logo and iconic robot mascot! The new visuals "draw inspiration from Material design to complement the Google brand palette, as well as be adaptable." The updated visuals will "appear on Android devices and in more places starting this year."

What do you think of the new logo and robot design?
