Saw the in-app update for the first time today

I don't know how many years it has been since Google announced this seamless update process called in-app updates which can be used by devs to nudge users to update the app. Finally saw it in action for the first time today. Didn't crash/force close the app, so it works i guess.

Federated Learning Settings in Google App

After updating the Google App on my phone to 10.61.6.21, new federated learning settings show up in settings search tagged [TBD]: [https://i.imgur.com/UP20AXC.png](https://i.imgur.com/UP20AXC.png)

Tapping the search result takes you to the general page of the settings app but there are no settings matching either result. It looks like they're getting ready to have federated learning controls in the Google App....

Favorite Android 10 feature

Ever wonder what apps are accessing your location when you're not using them?

I upgraded to Android 10 a few days ago and every now and then I get an alert that XYZ app is accessing my location while I am not using it. Just two taps later I have changed the permissions for that app to "Allow only while using the app"

I want to go through and set them all but I also like catching the apps that do....

[DISCUSSION] How exactly does Android 10 trump iOS 13?

Okay so this is a genuine question that’s been bothering me for a while and would love some insight. I’ve been an iPhone user since my 5s in 2013 and the whole Android vs iOS debate is something I’ve experienced more than I can count. And back then I remember people making some genuine points that trumped my responses about iOS 7 and my 5s back then:
1. Native swipe keyboard
2. File system to manage documents
3. Expandable storage
4. Ability to install app apks (pirating apps) without rooting

People will complain even if google makes a notchless truly full-screen pixel phone

I saw many comments last year when google launched pixel 3xl, that notch is huge and ugly. This year as google officially revealed glimpse of how pixel 4 looks without notch. Still people find a way to complain that bezels are huge. I see people find a way to complain everytime.

I really hope this year pixels take limelight so that we can see either smaller bezel phones or truly notchless phones going forward, already trend is towards notchless in higher end, so time for midrangers to follow....

New iPhones are actually good? woah

Hey guys, the point of the post isn't to brag about how good the new iPhones are, but rather I hope to unravel the misunderstandings that keeps popping up when it comes to iPhones. I get that's it's fun to make fun of Apple and the memes are really funny, but the new iPhone 11/Pro/Pro Max are actually very great phones. Please allow me to explain:

1. ***Longevity and frequent updates----***5 years of security/performance/feature updates when other Phones are only offering 3 years max. Currently...

It works exactly as we know it on Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube and every other app today...

In GPhotos this is "Memories", photos from random times ago.

Sound is underrated.

Every year, we get specs improvement- better SoC, better camera etc.I think that's boring, because it's expected.
Manufacturers always bring something new that we don't really need.
How about a better dual-stereo speakers that has punchy bass and a Hi-Fi audio DAC like on the LG G8?
The audio that comes out from our phones are really flat sounding, even on the highest quality from Spotify or FLAC lossless files.Having a Hi-Fi audio DAC is a night and day difference. Making my $10 IEM sou...
