Google app FCs when you search for 'What is iMessage'

Don't know whether it's a bug or an easter egg, but when you open the Google app (not Assistant) and search for 'What is iMessage', it stops unexpectedly. Tried with multiple devices and android versions.
Try it yourself!


Edit: Someone also reported this in the Google sub reedit yesterday ([here](https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/ecf9tt/searched_what_is_imeassage_on_google_app_and_it/)). Just went through it and did some testing.

From my little 30-min testing, this is what I made out...

Best apps for Reddit on Android?

The old archived thread on this topic is outdated.

I have tried the top recommended apps: Reddit, Boost, Joey, Sync, RIF, and Relay.

I used Joey and Sync the most in the past.

Reddit, Boost, RIF, and Relay are my least favorite for various reasons. I know some folks like the web 1.0 aspects of some of these, but although I like simplicity and function over form, I am not into the web 1.0 thing. Nor am I into the suffer for fashion thing.

Currently I am using Infinity.

Despite the terrible n...

How worthwhile is a 4GB RAM mobile in 2020?

I'm purchasing a phone around Christmas. How worthwhile is it getting a 4GB RAM phone? Will it last for the next 3-4 years?

My primary use is for gaming, like PUBG, and doing other university related works (PDF,Drive,Docs and so on)

Will 4 GB suffice, or I should opt for 6 GB of ram or even 8GB? The processor of the phone is Snapdragon 730G.

Thank you!...

Samsung Extended Update Support

With the incoming launch of samsung s10 lite and note 10 lite equiped with exynos 9810, the one which s9 and note 9 also have, should we expect that devices with that SOC will also be supported longer for the upcoming 2 versions of android? If the support for these devices will not be officialy extended should we expect that the modding community will have a much easier job porting the updates from s10 lite and note 10 lite ?...

What do you think about flutter?

This question asked 1 year ago in this sub but in 1 year flutter improved, so I want to ask again.

I'm a native mobile developer, working with Java/Kotlin last 4 years but I noticed I'm working on UI-Heavy apps, so I want to give a chance to flutter for publishing apps for iOS too. I see all good packages such as RxDart and injector, so I started to do simple apps, first thing I noticed is apk is really big around 11 mb for just empty app (for release apk, not debug, debug is around 100mb fo...
