I have an internal version of Google News apparently?

Opened up the app and was greeted to [this notification](https://i.imgur.com/De6vmTr.png). Has anyone else gotten this?

EDIT:

I've noticed the Google News icon has a [paw print on the bottom](https://i.imgur.com/85cNO2o.png) (maybe it's a "dogfood" version?)

Only notable difference I see is in the settings, there's a "Labs" setting with a bunch of features. Will post screenshot in a little bit. [Labs setting at bottom of Settings](https://i.imgur.com/EaHZMD2.png)

EDIT 2:

Which android apps are the smoothest and have the best animations?

Folding phones and their future in the market

I do not believe folding phones will replace phones, but, it will replace a part of the market.

The Samsung Z Fold 2 is a good example of what I mean, not the Samsung Z Flip.

I think foldable phones will bridge the gap between phone and mini tablet and possibly replace devices like 9" tablets and smaller.

The iPad Mini would most likely be harmed by foldable devices, especially if Apple creates their own fold.

The fold is going to be a 2 in 1 situation, however, what happens with software no...
