Russian officials are being directed to adopt a messaging application overseen by the Russian Federation's secret services, as mandated by Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. The deadline for this transition is September 1st. The government is particularly targeting foreign messaging applications like WhatsApp for potential bans due to national security concerns. A new messaging application named Max, developed by VK, has been introduced, designed for centralized digital tracking and raising privacy concerns. Max has extensive access to device features and sends data to servers linked to VK, which is connected to the Russian secret services. The government aims to impose further restrictions on software from countries classified as "unfriendly."

Android users will soon see enhancements to Gemini, Google's AI assistant, starting July 7th. Gemini will be able to manage device features and applications, allowing users to make phone calls, send WhatsApp messages, and manage utilities without enabling the Gemini Apps Activity setting. Users can disable this setting to prevent their interactions from being used for product development and AI model personalization. Google clarified that users maintain control over app connections and can disable them at any time. Gemini is set to replace Google Assistant on Android devices later this year. While turning off Apps Activity will prevent interactions from appearing in the activity log, Google will retain conversations for up to 72 hours for security purposes.
