I love Spotify, but its Android app still gets one thing wrong

Spotify's interface relies heavily on gesture controls for playback and queue management, which some users find frustrating due to their mandatory implementation. Users can swipe to add or remove songs, toggle the Now Playing screen, and navigate tracks, but these gestures can lead to errors, especially for those unfamiliar with them. There is a desire among users for more control over gesture settings, as the current setup does not allow disabling specific gestures. Proposed enhancements include a menu to toggle gestures on or off and the ability to rearrange or hide buttons on the Now Playing screen. This customization could improve usability and cater to diverse user needs.

Android users warned about new bug that steals private data – which apps to delete

The Arsink malware is an Android Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that exfiltrates sensitive information while granting remote control to its operators. It has impacted over 45,000 devices in 143 countries, including the UK. Arsink lures users to download deceptive "pro" versions of popular applications, often promoted on social media instead of the Google Play Store. Once installed, it can access text messages, emails, call logs, contacts, microphone recordings, photos, location data, and more. The malware also allows hackers to control device features such as using the torch, playing audio, making calls, and changing settings. It hides its icon, runs a persistent foreground service, and generates notifications to avoid detection. Users are advised to remove any "pro" versions of well-known apps like Google, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok that are not from the official Google Play Store.

Microsoft is supercharging Windows 11’s voice commands on Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon CPUs, and fine-tuning a few Recall features

Windows 11 is enhancing its voice command capabilities for Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon (Arm-based) processors through the latest preview build, 26120.3576. Users can now issue commands in natural language, such as “Please open the Chrome browser,” instead of using rigid phrasing. This feature is being rolled out to testers, and Microsoft is also expanding Voice Access support to include simplified and traditional Chinese. Adjustments have been made to the Recall feature to fix bugs and process ‘intelligent text actions’ locally for improved security and efficiency. The natural language processing in voice commands aims to enhance user experience and accessibility. Currently, these advancements are limited to Snapdragon (Arm-based) Copilot+ PCs, with no specific details on future expansions to Intel or AMD processors. The testing phase does not guarantee all features will be included in the final release.

Google releases Android 16 Developer Preview 1

Google has launched the first Developer Preview of Android 16 for developers to begin early-stage development and testing. This release may have performance issues and applications may not function flawlessly. Android 16 includes system changes that could lead to minor glitches or significant limitations until applications are updated for compatibility. Google plans to implement more frequent API releases, with a major launch expected in Q2 2025, and a minor update projected for Q4 2025. Developers will need to conduct annual compatibility testing earlier due to this new timeline. The SDKINTFULL constant has been introduced for version checks, and developers are encouraged to provide feedback on the APIs. Notable features in the preview include an embedded photo picker and Health Connect APIs for managing medical records. The Developer Preview can be installed on various Google Pixel devices, but stability and performance issues may arise, making it unsuitable for daily use. Known issues include app launch failures and camera problems during video recording. The preview lacks Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) approval, which may affect the performance of some applications, including Google’s native apps.
