2) How important do you reckon Android security pa...

Found a way to use Apple Watch cellular with Android with all features except text message *IF you have family with an iPhone

I think I may have found found a partial workaround to use Apple Watch and an android phone, but it may not work for everyone.
I am looking to upgrade to a Pixel 5 from an iPhone 6s, but want to keep the ability to listen to Spotify on a run via Apple Watch. I have an iPhone 6s and am looking to upgrade.

I have found how to get most all Apple Watch features, except text messages.

I just talked to my carrier (T-Mobile) and since my family members have iPhones I could use the new Apple Watch ...

Found a way to bring back the Facebook Messenger chat heads on Android 11

I want to keep this short so here is what I did to have both Android 11 and the old chat heads:

1. Download and install the APK for Messenger version 266 or below.
2. Disable automatic updates for Messenger from the Play Store.
3. Update Messenger from the Play Store (this enables sending pictures while still keeping the chat heads).
4. Disable the automatic updates from the in-app settings (press on your avatar > App updates > Disable "Auto update Messenger").

This last step is very important...
