Twitter app finally let's you sync dark mode to match your device settings

This has been one of the most annoying things about the Twitter app, it was the only app I regularly used that didn't change themes with the system. So glad it's finally fixed (the setting is already live on my device)...

Pixel 4A at the end of 2021

# Reasons leading to the Pixel Purchase

To lay some context, I've owned a variety of smartphones ranging across brands like Samsung, Apple, OnePlus, Moto and HTC.
I started out with budget phones but the last few years have seen me indulge in flagships because the experience matters to me so much.

I usually switch phones often because rarely am I satisfied with what I buy. But I do keep a phone for a longer time when I really like it. The last phone I did that with was the OnePlus 5T. The fi...

We had a great chat with Chet Haase about the book of the moment: Androids, the team that built the Android Operating System

Hi, I'm one of the hosts of Code With The Italians.

Yesterday we had a fantastic chat with Chet Haase. The original stream was on Twitch, and now the recording is available on YouTube.

We talked about Android, life at Google, the people, the journey to write the book, the reasons for writing the book.

We had a great couple of hours chatting, but you can 2x us and speed it up 😂

Enjoy the video and let us know what you think:

Can we just talk for a minute about how much the "back" gesture sucks? Why is Google obsessed with removing features?

With how many apps have other functions involving swiping, the implementation of "swipe from edge" for a function as commonly used as "back" is really an amateur level bone head mistake.
I don't even know how many times I've accidentally archived conversations or swiped away something that I didn't want to because of this foolish design.

Also why on earth did they get rid of the pill gesture feature? I understand not everyone liked it but there's no way in hell I'm going back to the old 3 butt...

Open Notification adds a button to your phone's navigation bar which will pull down the notifications for you

Are you tired of having to reach all the way up to the top of the screen each time a new message arrives? My new app Open Notification adds a new button to your phone's navigation bar - pressing it will pull down the notifications for you. Just tap the button, and the notifications will be opened. Because it's located in the navigation bar, the button is accessible from any app.

Important: In order to use this app, you need to have the regular Android navigation bar with Back, Home ...
