Discussion Androids billing cycle is only useful for postpaid users

Androids billing cycle is fixed, one month from a selected date.

But it's of little use in countries where majority of people use prepaid plans. Many of those plans have validity that's not equal to one month. My mobile operator doesn't offer a single plan whose validity is one month.

It is a good thing that android has a option for custom Data limit, it should also add a option for custom Billing cycle...

I feel like this is a common enough case that they should have tested for it....

There and back again (with photos): iOS user tries Pixel 6 Pro - quick and dirty experience report

Hi all!

Mishaal Rahman: "After reading what exactly the Android One program required of device makers, I'm not surprised it flopped. There are so many restrictions. Google even had the say on the industrial design and go-to-market strategy for each device. What was really in it for the OEM?"

Google removed last updated section from Play store

Not sure if I'm late but I have only noticed it yesterday. I was checking a few apps and it seems I can't see when those apps were updated last time.

Here's a screenshot of the About the app section....
