Found a hidden Samsung app that records audio. Signed by Samsung. No way to remove it. Found during system log inspection.

While analyzing a system audio recording on my Samsung device, I uncovered a hidden app (com.samsung.android.audiomirroring) that appears to record or route live audio, even when no visible app is open.

It’s signed by Samsung, impossible to uninstall, not shown in the launcher, and behaves like a background listener.

I wrote up a full report with screenshots, links, and findings. Check out the link.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist — I’m just asking for transparency.

Has anyone else seen this o...

* **Swipe left/right** on the status bar to scrub through your media
* **Tap, double-tap, or long-press** three invisible regi...

The only way to get around this is to develop your own magnetic wireless charger to work with your device, but because the magnets in your device are not the exact same configuration as Apple's Magsafe, there's a good chance the...

Chrome for Android will support automatic Picture-in-Picture. This feature allows tabs playing media to automatically minimize into a small, floating window when you switch tabs or open the tab switcher, and there will be a setting to allow or block it, similar to how it works in Chrome for desktop.
