The 6 best Android app changes I made this year

Megan Ellis transitioned from Chrome to Brave and Firefox due to dissatisfaction with Google's restrictions on browser extensions. She adopted Proton Pass as a standalone password manager for enhanced security and began self-hosting services, discovering niche applications like Donetick and Jotty Page. Ellis uninstalled apps that no longer served her, such as CapCut and Duolingo, prioritizing enjoyment over obligation. She also let go of app streaks, reclaiming her time and mental space after a 720-day streak on Duolingo. Additionally, she shifted to simpler, focused apps for productivity instead of comprehensive task management tools like TickTick.

Android set to lead Google’s charge into the PC market

Google is considering a new initiative called Aluminium, which aims to adapt Android's features for laptops and desktops, focusing on ARM architecture and improving multitasking, keyboard-and-mouse input, and file management. Android has over 3 billion active devices globally, while ChromeOS has a low market share in the PC sector. Android has evolved with updates like Android 12L, enhancing usability on large screens, and real-world implementations like Samsung DeX show its potential as a desktop OS. However, challenges remain regarding app usability on larger displays, and improvements in performance, security, and enterprise readiness are needed. Google plans to develop a refined Desktop Mode, implement UX guidelines, establish a native Linux workspace, enhance file access, integrate audio features, and collaborate with OEMs for compatible hardware.

I’m tired of ‘free’ apps that are just trying to bully me into paying

In 2025, there is a notable decline in the availability of truly free smartphone applications, as many users are shifting towards privacy-focused, open-source, or self-hosted options. The monetization strategies of developers have led to free apps becoming nearly unusable without paid subscriptions, creating a situation where users feel misled by the marketing of these apps. Historically, free apps primarily relied on advertisements, but now many have stripped their free tiers to the point where users must pay to regain access to functionalities that were once available for free. This trend has caused frustration among users, particularly in regions with weaker currencies, where subscription costs can be prohibitive. Popular applications like Duolingo, CapCut, and Evernote have progressively restricted their free offerings, pushing users towards premium tiers. While there is an understanding of the need for monetization, misleading advertising and a decline in user experience are major concerns. Some apps have successfully balanced monetization with user satisfaction by offering functional free versions alongside premium features, and regional pricing can make subscriptions more accessible. Developers are encouraged to maintain transparency in their marketing practices to avoid user confusion.

Microsoft celebrates Windows 11 on Arm progress as users now spend the majority of their time in natively compiled apps — compatibility is no longer a concern

Microsoft has reported that 90% of user engagement on Arm-based PCs is now with natively compiled applications for Windows 11 on Arm. The Arm app ecosystem is expanding, with native Arm versions available for apps representing 90% of total user minutes. Collaboration with Qualcomm, particularly through the Snapdragon X series of PC chips, has been crucial in this development. Major OEMs have adopted this technology, leading to new Arm-based PCs that compete with Apple Silicon. Adobe has released flagship applications like Photoshop and Premiere Pro in native formats. Notable applications now natively compiled for Windows on Arm include 7 Zip, Google Drive, Dropbox, Trello, Todoist, Libre Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Camtasia, Paint.NET, Djay Pro, CapCut, Figma, Apple TV, Apple Music, Google Chrome, Telegram, WhatsApp, Spotify, Davinci Resolve, Blender, and Luminar Neo. The current generation of Snapdragon X processors supports applications still reliant on emulation, with robust performance. Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon PC chips, likely named Snapdragon X2, are expected to enhance performance and efficiency further.

Google Photos could soon get a surprising third-party integration (APK teardown)

Google is experimenting with a new feature in its Google Photos app that allows users to edit their Memories using CapCut, a video editing tool owned by ByteDance. An "Edit in CapCut" button has been found in version 7.38 of the Google Photos app, enabling users to edit auto-generated highlight reels of past photos and videos. If CapCut is not installed, tapping the button prompts a download from the Play Store; if it is installed, the memory is sent to the CapCut editor. However, CapCut is not available in certain regions, such as India, where this feature was first discovered. The integration raises questions about Google's promotion of a non-Google app, especially one owned by a company facing scrutiny. The feature has not yet been broadly rolled out or included in the app's beta version.
