This Google App Helps You Verify If You’re Chatting with the Right Person

Google has introduced the Android System Key Verifier app as part of its latest Google Play System update to enhance user security in digital communication. The app allows users to confirm the identity of messaging recipients by scanning a QR code, generating a unique key, and requesting a security code for verification. If there is a discrepancy, the device will issue an alert. The app utilizes the Contact Keys feature for securely storing end-to-end encryption keys and is currently available on devices like the Pixel 6, although testing has been limited due to a lack of compatible applications. The Contact Keys feature was initially unveiled with Android 15, and its integration into Google Play Services allows all devices running Android 10 and above to benefit from this security measure.

Here’s how Health Connect will back up your health and fitness data

Google has introduced a backup and restore feature in the Health Connect app, allowing users to export their health and fitness data to Google Drive or other cloud storage providers. This feature addresses the previous lack of backup options, enabling users to safeguard their data when losing devices or transitioning to new ones. The backup and restore menu is located within the Health Connect settings, allowing for scheduled exports on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, stored in a ZIP file at a user-chosen location. However, early testing has revealed that some exported files may be empty. The feature is available on devices running Android 14 and later, as well as the latest version of the Health Connect app compatible with Android 9 or later. Feedback from users is encouraged to improve the experience.
