Google Translate readies new "Saved Translations" and "Quick Actions" widgets with Material You design

Looks like Google Translate is about to add two widgets.

Saved Translations: Revisit saved and recent translations
Translate Quick Actions: Quickly translate and transcribe phrases

These widgets are not enabled by default in the version of the app that I installed (2022.01.27.0.04), but I manually enabled them. Here's what they look like....

Google is working on a public API for apps to use ultra-wideband (UWB) on supported devices

According to a code change, Google is preparing to add a new support library described as a "public API surface for apps to use UWB (ultra-wideband) on supported devices."

UWB is a short-range wireless communication technology commonly used for applications that need precise precisioning. Several Samsung flagships and Google's Pixel 6 Pro have UWB hardware already.

How would you like to improve Digital wellbeing on Android?

So if you have used digital wellbeing on Android you know it's kinda useless as it allows you to delete the timers whenever you want. So if Google one fine day decides to ask the community for its overhaul. How would you do it?

Here's my take:
1. So if anyone has used a OnePlus' OxygenOS you probably know that they have this Zen mode which totally block you from all the apps apart from those which are important to you

Why don't any Android phones have hardware-based face unlock comparable to the iPhone's?

Some Android phones have face unlock, like the Samsung Galaxy S21, but it relies on the front-facing camera rather than face unlock specific hardware like the iPhone has.

As someone who moves between iPhones and Android phones frequently, it's always baffled me why more Android phones don't have decent face unlock.

Why don't any Android phones have face unlock comparable to the iPhone's?...
