How will this new change help users? With the separation being revoked, now users will no longer have to make a choice. They can now make calls through Google Voice and forward it to the Google Fi numbers and vice versa. Not only this, even when you are using different numbers, but you can also attend the calls in one central place. This means users can still use separate numbers for professional and personal purposes....
Google says that 20% of its Hubs are in the bedroom and that figure will surely rise with this new sleep tracking feature. With clever radar technology, it can do this without the need for a camera or to wear anything in bed. The bad news is that you might one day have to pay to use Sleep Sensing. The feature is free as a ‘preview’ until 2022 when Google will review the situation and may ask for some kind of subscription fee for the service....

The image reveals a speaker grill on device’s top, but doesn’t provide a complete lot anywhere else on the device.

Following on from LG making the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, the job has been given to Motorola which Google previously owned before selling it to Lenovo.

In all aspects the new Google logo is one of the finest update to come from the search giant. What really makes it click is its bubbly animation. The logo turns into four colorful dots, which during the voice search turns into equalizer. When you are done talking, the dots spin to search the results. The dots turn into Google again when the search yields result. The little “g” icon of Google has also been replaced by the four colors “G....

In case you can see a business that is yet to see a listing, you simply need to click on “add a missing business” button at the navigation drawer bottom....
It sounds quite impressive, especially given the pace at which Google is working to sustain Google accounts’ privacy and security. But, what no one has thought is how these features are being useful (if they are) and no one has undoubtedly asked the question as to how reliable the new privacy plan actually is. A recently published article on a media website has cited concerns over these new features. Today we discuss those concerns and reflect our opinion over them....
Google announced the new updates to the iOS Google Maps app on Tuesday. Dark mode will be available to iOS users in the coming weeks, almost two years after Apple initially rolled out dark mode in iOS 13.

This would be done to focus on the newly launched “Data Safety” section. Google Play Store introduced this ‘Data Safety” section back in April 2022.

title: “Google Patches Android Security Risk Update Now” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-18” author: “Dustin Helbig” The details: The security flaw that’s getting the most attention is known as MediaTek-su by Android developers and CVE-2020-00069 by Google. The bug itself lets attackers gain root access to your Android device without having to unlock the bootloader, reports Sophos’ Naked Security blog. While MediaTek itself says it patched the vulnerability in May 2019, the Android developer group XDA notes there are millions of Android devices in the wild that haven’t received the fix from the company, and they may never....
The answer apparently is to do the one thing Google said it never needed to do: throw in a second lens. That’s the first of several major hardware changes to the device, which also throws in radar-based motion controls, a whole new face unlock, a 90Hz display, and an upgraded on-device Google Assistant. All of which sounds great, and should be a recipe for a phenomenal flagship. But none of those five big changes is quite as good as it should be – and once you throw in the frankly abysmal battery performance the regular Pixel 4 becomes a very difficult phone to recommend anyone actually buy....
Researchers from Bitdefender have shared details about dozens of apps on the Google Play Store that camouflage themselves behind false pretenses and then hide their presence once installed using several tricks, including changing their names and icons. “Sadly, the findings are not surprising at all,” Dr. Johannes Ullrich, Dean of Research at SANS Technology Institute, told Lifewire in an email interview. “The Google Play store has frequent problems identifying and eliminating malicious apps....

But this week it emerged that iPhone users have in fact been enjoying free unlimited original resolution storage. A Redditor originally posted the information that has since been reported across tech publications. It seems Google has taken note though and has confirmed it is a bug to Android Police, saying “We are aware of this bug and are working to fix it....
It may just be fashionably late, though. Google Wifi was announced and launched in the US in 2016, it arrived here in the UK only a few months later at exactly the same time as the headline-grabbing Google Home. Like its rivals, Google Wifi offers better wireless coverage around your home by using two or more access points placed in different rooms. Basically, each device is an 802.11ac router which doesn’t include a broadband modem, so you’ll need to connect one of the ‘Wifi points’ to your existing modem or router using an Ethernet cable....
And the newcomer really is a complete redesign. It’s larger, has an internal battery, offers three hours’ worth of recordings and lets you set up activity zones without subscribing to Nest Aware Plus. It sounds good, but there are a few things that aren’t so great, such as the lack of continuous recording even if you subscribe to Nest Aware Plus and hook the Doorbell up to power. Being forced to use the Google Home app can be frustrating as well, as can the new, tall aspect ratio for videos....
