The Google Play Store has introduced a new feature that allows users to search through app reviews using a search bar at the top of the reviews section. This feature is currently being rolled out after extensive testing that began last November. Users can access it by tapping on the ratings section of an app listing and selecting “See all reviews” or by using the magnifying glass icon in the Reviews and Ratings section. The search function requires at least two words to generate results and does not support real-time suggestions. It is available to users with version 50.7.24-31 of the Play Store, and updating the app can be done through the settings menu.

Apple has removed the decentralized peer-to-peer messaging application Bitchat from its China App Store due to violations of regulations set by the Cyberspace Administration of China, which requires security assessments for apps that can influence public opinion or facilitate social mobilization. Bitchat operates over Bluetooth and mesh networks, making it resistant to traditional government internet shutdowns. The app has over three million downloads across various platforms, with more than 92,000 downloads in the past week and over one million registered downloads on the Google Play Store.

A new iteration of Copilot is being released for Windows 11, transitioning from native code (WinUI) to web components and including a full version of Microsoft Edge. The update replaces the previous native app and is available for download through the Microsoft Store, which now requires an installer similar to the Microsoft Edge installer. The new Copilot resembles the web version and has higher RAM usage, consuming up to 500MB in the background and nearly 1GB during use, compared to less than 100MB for the previous version. The new Copilot is a hybrid web application that operates with a rebranded instance of Edge within a WebView2 container, including a complete Microsoft Edge installation that occupies approximately 850 MB. It contains the msedge.dll file, confirming the presence of a full Chromium browser engine, and includes Edge subsystems like Browser Helper Objects and Trust Protection Lists. The Copilot app functions as a web app rendered via WebView2, raising questions about the necessity of such applications on Windows 11 given the existing alternatives.
