Earlier this month, YouTube began testing a new layout for the website plataform. But with the backlash over the new intefarce, YouTube is now going back.

However, some Reddit users stated that they still have this on the website, so perhaps this new intefarce only being shown to a limited users. We don't know if Google will show permanently this new layout in the future.

A necessary feature we saw in "Samsung's AI", where we can search from an image or video, just by circling some object in the image.

I've already used it and I find it very useful, for those who don't know the name of something.

And now, Google has brought this feature to Android and iOS too, aiming to improve search using AI.

What future awaits us?

Greetings, Android 15! Or...Android 14+?

It's been 3 years since the launch of Android 12, the last system significant update. In the past we expected Google to do a good job but you alredy know as the last two versions were. Anyway, Android 15 is here, look some interesting (meh) features!

• Theft Protection
Uses AI to detect when your phone has been snatched by a thief and block your phone.

• Private Space
Allows you to create a new secret space to keep your apps private.

• App Archiving
Saves some user data when you uninstall a app. So, when you reinstall, you can pick up right where you left off.

• Partial Screen Recording
Now, you'll able to share or record just an app window instead of the entire device screen.

• Satellite Connectivity Support
It's was alredy available on A14, but with Android 15 it's becoming a system level-feature. Now, apps can use API's to detect when the phone is connected to a satellite.

What if Google sells Chrome? Is it necessary to break the monopoly?

They also suggest that Google might need to give up Android if it continues requiring manufacturers to pre-install its services. A court decision is expected by the summer of 2025.

Google begins phasing out "legacy" mode in the Play Integrity API today, May 21, 2025, as previously announced

From now on, devices running Android 13 or higher must use hardware-backed integrity checks, such as Android Platform Key Attestation to meet the "strong integrity" standard. This change is aimed at strengthening the Android ecosystem’s security, making it harder to bypass app protections, especially in sensitive areas like payments and online gaming.

However, older devices and those running custom ROMs may face limitations due to the stricter requirements.
Full deprecation of legacy mode is set for August 31, 2027, giving developers time to update their apps to comply with the new standards.
