Google added support for delta app updates ages ago to save you from re-downloading an entire app every time there’s an update. That’s all well and good, but the process hasn’t been very transparent. Now, it looks like the Play Store has started showing the size of an update rather than the full app size. […]
WhatsApp has conquered the world of low-cost SMS alternatives, at least in the international market. The company’s practically free system, which uses standard phone numbers and a text message-style interface, gained hundreds of millions of users before being acquired by Facebook for an amazing $19 billion. WhatsApp already offers a web interface for sending and […]
Update 1: 2016/03/23 10:02pm PDT A bunch of LG phones have been upgraded to Android 6.0 over the last few weeks, and today it’s the Verizon V10’s version. According to Verizon’s support page, at least: the company says it’s now sending the over-the-air update to customers, though of course it could be a few days or […]
Google yesterday pushed out updates to the Sheets and Slides apps, bringing compatibility with more file formats and automatic titling for Slides. Together with these changes are the normal bug fixes and performance improvements which accompany any Google app update. What’s New More File Format Support Both apps have had a significant amount of file formats added […]
When Android 6.0 landed, it brought a big new battery-saving feature called Doze mode. While it was great at reining in known troublemakers like social network apps and misbehaving games, Doze had a bad habit of knocking out apps with genuinely important roles to play. One such app was Android Wear. Today, a new update […]
If you saw our post about last month’s update to Maps, you may remember a teardown showed hotels would soon gain listings for amenities. Google didn’t keep us waiting for long; amenities can now be viewed on many hotel listings and in search results. As usual, we’ve got the download links below if you don’t […]
Have you ever been so excited to watch Netflix’s collection of movies, shows, and original content that you simply couldn’t wait to get into the app itself before you start to browse? Apparently someone on the development team thinks so, because the latest version of the Android app (posted to APK Mirror earlier this evening) […]
Chrome 47 is now in the Play Store. This stable build is the end result of all of the development we’ve watched over the past few months. We detailed changes as they popped up, with one nice feature being the addition of a snackbar that appears at the bottom of the screen when you complete […]
Good grief, T-Mobile has been awfully late in providing the Android 6.0 update to Nexus 6 users on its network. That kind of behavior is positively… carrier-like. But as of Friday the rollout for Marshmallow should have finally begun, at least if you’re anywhere near a Wi-Fi network – according to T-Mobile’s support document, a […]
Google Photos is a way of spreading your photos from your device to the cloud. But the latest update isn’t about getting your images on Google’s servers. It’s about deleting them. Early this summer, Google provided the option to free up space when Photos detected that your device was running low. The app would then […]
Update 1: 2015/11/06 10:01am PST The tireless developers at Team Win released their custom Android recovery for the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X last week, but at the time it didn’t support decryption. This makes working with the stock software (which Google encrypts by default, gleefully thumbing their noses at the NSA and FBI in a […]
Google surprised everybody back in 2014 with an unusual project called Cardboard, a low cost and simple viewer that could work with a smartphone to create simple virtual reality environments. Cardboard has quickly grown into a very engaging tool and it has been adopted in many classrooms as a result. The latest update to the […]
