Android 14 Beta 4 got a new easter egg!
Mishaal Rahman
Google's latest Android 14 beta has a new surprise for everyone found in the settings, it is the new easter egg!
The easter egg is located in Settings > About Phone > Android version. After tapping “Android version” multiple times, you'll see the Android 14 logo floating in space. Next up, hold the Android logo to notice the “stars” speed by to open a space simulator inspired video game.
The game interface is made of the text about star, class, radius, mass and bodies of the spaceship on the top left corner. On the bottom left you can notice the threshold, position and velocity. To move the spaceship, hold down your finger on the display and drag it in the direction where you want to fly the ship.

FINALLY! Chrome for Android is once again adding support for moving the address bar to the bottom.
This feature is working in the latest Canary build if you toggle the #android-bottom-toolbar flag. You can then change the address bar location in settings.

Get Android source (for Pixel)
Starting from Android 16, Google stopped making Pixel device trees public. Instead, there is a portal made available for developers (at least that's what they have left as an option).
You will be required to fill in a form and they will decide whether to distribute the code or not, plus there might be a processing fee. Additionally, they mentioned you can only apply for devices that you received within three years or devices that still receive customer support for code licensed under the GPL-3.

Android and Chrome will still be part of Google
- in August 2024, a US district judge deemed Google a monopoly, possibly threatening the company to sell some of its products
- Fast forward a year later, the short answer is: Google will not need to sell Android and Chrome
- Google can also continue to pay to maintain its default position in other products
- However, Google will be barred from exclusive contracts that required companies to preload certain Google services to license Play Store
- Additionally, Google has to share certain search data with qualified competitors to promote competition

Communities Are Now Being Tested in Telegram
In Telegram beta for Android, version 12.9, users can now organize communities that bring theme-related chats closer together.
The details:
• Chats Only: At the moment, only chats can be added to communities.
• How to Join: Telegram treats you as a member of a community if you join any chat linked to that community.
• What This Offers: If a chat is linked to a community, this is highlighted on the chat's profile page. From there, members can navigate to other chats in the community. Members can view the list of all “visible” chats in the community and join them.
• Chats Stay Independent: Telegram won’t add you to other chats in the community automatically. Different owners can offer to add their chats to a community.
• Can Merge Visually: Community chats can display separately or merge into a single item. This behavior is controlled by community admins using the “Show as One Chat” toggle. When it’s active, the community looks similar to forums, but each topic is instead an independent chat you can join.
• Hidden Chats: A chat can be added to a community with “hidden” visibility. A hidden chat can be seen only by those invited to it separately. This is similar to general and hidden channels in Discord servers. Members of the hidden chat can navigate into the community, while other community members can’t see the hidden chat.
• If We Should Expect Channels: The app code mentions adding channels, but the feature is unavailable, so it’s not clear whether it will be added in the future.
Creating communities is available only on the test server at the moment. You can add your group chat to a community in chat settings—just tap the “Add Group to a Community” option.

Fullscreen Rich Text Editor, Communities, New GIF Search, and Ephemeral Messages
Telegram for Android and iOS updated to version 12.9, while Telegram Desktop updated to version 7.0. In its July update, Telegram brings a much more extensive variety of text formatting options, communities, and much more:
• Advanced Text Editor: Users can now send Rich Formatting messages from the new full-screen text editor. It includes many styling options: headings, tables, lists, quotes, LaTeX math formulas, code blocks, and expandable spoilers. It also allows users to mix photos and videos right in the middle of messages by creating collages or carousel slideshows.
The editor is available under📎 Attach › Article. Alternatively, in mobile apps you can tap the ↖ icon above the “Send” button. The full-screen editor allows users to send messages that are up to 32,768 characters long.
Most of the key features of the full-screen editor are only available to Premium users, although the full-screen UI itself can be used for free.
• Communities: Organize communities that bring theme-related chats, channels, or even bots closer together. You can't add big entities, though: Telegram limits chats and channels by their member count. The @tginfo editors are still researching the limitations of this feature.
Make sure not to confuse communities with forums: each chat and channel remains independent, while users can view the list and join each separately.
Community chats can be visible to all members or be hidden, in which case only community admins and the members of the hidden chat can see it. Community chats and channels can merge into a single item in the chat list — this is controlled by the community admins.
• Ephemeral messages for bots: Bots and users can now message and reply to each other privately even in the middle of a group chat — such messages are visible only to the specific recipient and the bot that sent them. Ephemeral commands and replies to them are marked with a special👁 crossed-out eye icon.
When a command is ephemeral, the user's initial message remains fully invisible to all members and bots, which allows confidential interactions to take place even in public spaces. Besides, such messages will be invisible if you log into your account from a new device.
• Updated GIF Search: The GIF panel now searches across 350 million GIF animations in 36 languages. The search engine works thanks to Telegram's indexing of widely shared, publicly available GIFs using the in-house Cocoon AI project. Alas, Telegram doesn't clarify what “publicly available” entails.
The change was caused by Google shutting down access to its Tenor GIF library. Telegram claims the new GIF search is private and doesn't depend on third-party services, and adds that it works much faster than before.

Interactive HTML Messages Are Now Working in the Android App
A working prototype of the experimental HTMLBubbles technology is confirmed in the Beta version of Telegram for Android 13.2.
It makes it possible to create interactive messages built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that are displayed right in the chat without opening a separate Mini App. To test the feature, @tginfo editors created their own HTML widget. Using it, they confirmed the execution of JavaScript and basic functions of regular websites.
Similar components were also found in the Beta version of Telegram for iOS 13.2, which now includes built-in tools for testing widgets as well.
Security concerns
So far, no dedicated toggle to disable HTMLBubbles has been found in the settings of the tested Beta versions.
Previously, @tginfo editors expressed concerns about executing JavaScript right in the chat.
As a reminder, a vulnerability (CVE-2026-107181) was recently discovered in Telegram Desktop that allowed files to be stolen through specially crafted links.
Although that flaw is unrelated to HTMLBubbles, introducing a new mechanism for executing code inside messages could lead to much more severe vulnerabilities that require no user interaction to trigger (zero-click).
When will the feature be available to everyone?
For now, HTMLBubbles remains an experimental technology. The ability to send such messages is restricted, and a public API for developers has not yet been introduced.
