Google Play Services could soon make tracking system app updates much easier (APK teardown)

Google is introducing a new "System services" section within Google Play Services to streamline the tracking of updates for essential Android system applications. This feature aims to help users distinguish between regular app updates and important system app updates, addressing confusion about the status of core system components. An APK teardown of Google Play Services v25.11.32 beta has revealed references to this section, which will notify users of available updates and direct them to the Google Play Store. The app listings for core system applications will also be simplified to focus on essential information, reducing user confusion and improving understanding of system app updates. The "System services" page and updated app listings are not yet live but represent a step towards enhancing user trust and clarity regarding system app updates.

Windows 11’s AI Recall, tested: I like it, but I just can’t trust it

Microsoft's Recall feature for Windows 11 captures periodic snapshots of the screen using optical character recognition and artificial intelligence to create a searchable archive. The setup process involves multiple downloads and installations, which can be cumbersome and slow, leading to potential user confusion regarding saving snapshots. Recall operates only on Windows PCs and requires authentication via Windows Hello. Users can search for specific terms, but the application may fail to recognize or save certain web pages, resulting in gaps in recorded history. Privacy concerns arise from the lack of transparency about what data is captured, despite Microsoft’s claims that sensitive information is not saved. Users can blacklist certain applications and websites and can toggle off the snapshot feature in Windows Settings, but uninstalling Recall requires navigating to a specific control panel.
