The Google search widget has removed the microphone button at home screen level, replacing it with Discover and Lens.

This is highly annoying to me. Do you use these new features more than the microphone? Was the microphone not used widely?

Now, to search with your voice but without assistant, you have to open the widget, and only then the microphone will be there....

PSA: TWRP backup does not like Android for Work profiles.

I'm making this to hopefully save someone else an hour of searching to drill down to the cause.

TWRP backup will fail with error 255 createTarFork() process ended. Looking in the recovery.log will show you that /data/misc_ce/ is not able to be added to the backup, along with some linker symlink errors referring to /system/etc/ld.config.txt.

If you use Android for Work for whatever reason, including using an app like Island to create duplicate apps for logging in multiple accounts, this will af...

My 7 year old figured out a way to bypass the Family Link Bedtime setting....

So I gave my kids an old phone of mine so they could watch YouTube and play games but before that I downloaded the Family Link app and put a time for it to lock. One night I caught one of my kids on the phone and asked her how she unlocked it and showed me. So Google, for some reason, leaves Google Assistant accessible on the Home Screen so she just opened it and asked google to open whatever app is installed and it does. My mind was blown that Google, a multi-billion dollar company, was bested ...

I gotta confess, I don't really notice big differences between pictures taken by flagships in those "camera comparison" posts and reviews. Anyone else?

Sure, night shots can show an obvious difference, but shots taken in daylight? Nope

How many of you have the updated Google Messages UI? Do you like the changes?

I noticed the other day that on my wife's Pixel 3 that she has an updated photo share button. My Pixel 3 still has the Android P version. Neither of us are in the Q beta testing or anything, just normal users.

The changes I'm talking about can be seen in [this](https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/07/20/new-android-q-style-icons-and-other-ui-tweaks-spotted-in-googles-messages-app/) article.

I've tried forcing mine to update, but it won't yet, unfortunately....
