Guide How to fix horrible handling of links on Android 12

With Android 12 officially released no one is talking about how Material You will fit into 3rd party apps?

One of the things I've been thinking about lately is basically that Material You really only fits into existing ecosystem because most of the apps updated are just basic tools. For the most part, they're pretty much all just apps that don't really need a distinctive brand identity, things like clocks or a gallery or phone app.

Even if they do have something distinctive like Gmail, it doesn't really matter because you're already familiar with them.

Is anybody really thought about how this new...

I and several of my friends noticed that typing indicators have started showing in group chats in Google Chat. Now if we can just get read receipts in group chats as well we'd be approaching parity with Hangouts for most of the functionality that I care about. Progress!...

Google Photos 5.67 update removes Magic Eraser from the Pixel 6

If you have a Pixel 6 and see an update to the Google Photos app today, do NOT update. Google seems to have accidentally pushed the wrong build without the Magic Eraser feature. Version 5.67.0.409192963 was just pushed to my device (a Pixel 6 Pro) and it's gone. I'm not the only person this has...
