Apple Watch Reportedly Set to Receive 'Significant Redesign' Next Year

iPhone 17 Pro Max Rumored to Have Major Telephoto Camera Upgrade

While digging through the latest Android Canary release, spotted a new string in the Settings app for a page noscriptd “agent control of other apps.”

This page is destined for Android’s privacy dashboard, but it’s currently hidden.

Another unused string I found says the page will let you control which assistants can “perform actions on your device and in other apps.”
