Google is testing a new placement for the Magic Compose button in Google Messages

In this test, the button is above the message box instead of within it or to the side of it.

This placement makes a lot more sense and will hopefully reduce accidental presses!

Thanks to Joe Lenington for the tip!...

private space doesn't seem to add a lot of security for banking apps

Banking apps on mobile often rely on fingerprint biometrics for reasonably-easy mobile login. Before private space, if someone gets my phone, they still need at least fingerprint to get into the banking app (and maybe fingerprint twice if my phone itself was locked when they got it).
