Last week, Nothing announced Nothing Chats. This is a new messaging app by the company that would solve the green-bubble-blue-bubble issue by allowing iMessage users to send rich text messages to Android users.

Unfortunately, it looks like the app has since been pulled from the Play Store over certain security and privacy concerns.

When the app was launched, while the concept seemed like a good one, many were quick to point out the potential security issues involved. It was later discovered that the app isn't really end-to-end encrypted as they claimed, and that user data is exposed in plain text which would have allowed attackers to read the data pretty easily.

To be fair, the app was launched in beta and bugs are to be expected, but perhaps Nothing should have done a better job at QC-ing the app before publishing it. Many users are now blasting the company for calling these pretty serious security and privacy flaws as mere "bugs".

That being said, it should be noted that shortly after Nothing's app was launched, Apple themselves came forward and announced that in 2024, they will finally introduce support for RCS, so we're not sure how relevant the Nothing Chats app will remain once that starts rolling out with presumably more attention paid towards the overall security and privacy of the service.

While one of Android's biggest strengths is its flexibility when it comes to personalization and customization, it should be said that there are times when it seems that the OS is fully locked down in certain parts. Take for example the "At a Glance" widget, which is found on Google Pixel phones, which for some reason has been an immovable fixture on Pixel home screens for quite some time now.

Unsurprisingly, this has led to complaints from some users regarding the rigid approach that Google has implemented with the At a Glance widget's existence. With that in mind, it looks like Google has been listening, and users might be able to hide the widget soon after all.

The change was listed by tech writer Mishaal Rahman in a social media post, which lists other new features spotted in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1. Based on several screenshots, it looks like Google has added a toggle within the Pixel launcher that will allow users to hide At a Glance, and instead use the space for their own widgets or app shortcuts.

With that being said, the entire thread lists several other changes which are very likely to arrive for Android, such as a new privacy indicator dialog, single app casting (as opposed to your entire display), and "quarantined apps" in developer options, to name a few. It's expected that these new features might officially make their debut in the next Pixel feature drop.

Google has a bunch of different services that users generally need to visit different websites for, but if you're someone who relies heavily on Gmail and Google Calendar, then this latest update is for you.

Google has announced that they are now rolling out a new feature that will allow Gmail users to quickly and conveniently schedule a meeting directly within Gmail itself. This means that instead of having to open a new browser window or tab with Google Calendar, you can now schedule meetings without having to leave Gmail.

"We're adding a feature into Gmail that helps you find convenient 1:1 meeting times with others much quicker. This is especially useful when scheduling time with customers, partners or people in your organization whose Google Calendars are not visible to you. While composing an email, you will see a new Calendar icon with all Calendar-related actions consolidated and easily discoverable."

This feature isn't a new feature per se. Google had actually introduced it back in 2021 but at that time, it was only available to Workspace Individual subscribers. Google then made it available for more Workspace accounts, but now it looks like it will be available for all Gmail users.

The update is being rolled out as we speak, so you should eventually see the changes over the course of the next few weeks.

Before Elon Musk assuming control over Twitter and transforming the blue mark confirmation into a wreck, one of the ways of distinguishing individuals who say they are on Twitter was through the blue mark.

While that has gotten significantly more enthusiastically nowadays, Google is wanting to fix that with messages. The organization has reported that at whatever point clients get an email from a shipper that has been confirmed, they will currently see a blue mark close to their name, as you can find in the screen capture underneath.

This is essential for Google's Image Pointers for Message Distinguishing proof program, which they sent off two or a long time back. For those new, essentially it is to assist users with better recognizing messages that have been sent from a brand/organization and they need to ensure that it is coming from the genuine organization and not a trickster.

Since there are numerous phishing endeavors these days with tricksters and programmers acting like brands and organizations like banks and other monetary foundations, this could go quite far in shielding clients from such assaults.

This blue mark will not be accessible to customary clients, however if you're an organization that needs to participate in this program and safeguard your image, head on over to this Google support page for the subtleties.
