Modern Samsung smartphones include a feature called "Separate App Sound," which allows users to direct audio from specific applications to different audio sources. This means users can play music from apps like YouTube Music through a Bluetooth speaker while keeping notification alerts routed through the phone’s built-in speaker. To enable this feature, users need to open the Settings app, tap on Sounds and vibrations, scroll to the bottom, select Separate app sound, toggle it on, choose the apps to configure, and decide the audio output for those apps. This feature was introduced with the Galaxy S8 series in 2017 and is often overlooked. It can enhance user experience by preventing interruptions from notifications during activities like hosting friends or driving. Other Android brands do not offer a similar functionality.

Google has issued a warning to Android users about a dangerous malware called Arsink Malware, which is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) capable of stealing personal information and taking control of infected devices. It spreads through apps that appear legitimate, often masquerading as "Mod" or "Premium" versions of popular applications. Arsink malware typically infiltrates devices via Telegram channels, Discord posts, third-party websites, and suspicious download links. Google has confirmed that no versions of Arsink are available on the Play Store and that devices with Google Play Protect enabled are automatically safeguarded against such threats. Google is also working with researchers to dismantle the infrastructure associated with this malware. To stay safe, users are advised to download apps only from the official Google Play Store, avoid 'Mod' or 'Premium' versions of apps, refrain from clicking on suspicious links, carefully check app permissions, keep Google Play Protect enabled, and regularly update their devices for security patches.
