Waze adds easy access to YouTube Music while you drive

[ad_1] The integration is rolling out now, and should “soon” reach all 50 markets where both Waze and YouTube Music are available. This probably won’t persuade you to switch to YouTube Music if you’re happy with another streaming service (especially if it’s already supported in Waze). It could, however, make life decidedly easier if you […]

Tidal shares songs as Stories in Facebook and Instagram

[ad_1] The feature is available now in Tidal’s Android and iOS apps. As with similar social efforts, it’s not likely that your friends are going to switch services after you share a catchy track in your Stories. However, that’s not really the expectation here. This is more about raising awareness of Tidal and catching those […]

‘Gears Pop’ brings cute combat to your phone on August 22nd

[ad_1] You won’t have to wait until the September release of Gears 5 to get your Gears of War fix — provided you’re willing to pull out your phone. Microsoft has revealed that Gears Pop will reach Android and iOS on August 22nd following a limited “soft launch.” As the name implies, this isn’t the […]

Google stops sending Android cell signal data over privacy concerns

[ad_1] Mobile Network Insights had only launched in March 2017, but was apparently valuable to providers. Although they do have other ways of gauging network quality, Google’s feature was helpful precisely because of the sheer number of Android phones in the field. A telecom could get real-world usage stats from the phone’s software. A Google […]

Runkeeper drops its Wear OS app due to a ‘buggy experience’

[ad_1] The representative added that only a “very small” chunk of the community used the app, though the message suggested this wasn’t the main reason. Other developers who’ve scrapped smartwatch apps have frequently cited either demand or a lack of necessity. Slack scrapped its Apple Watch app in part because it just wasn’t needed — […]

Google pulls 85 Android apps with particularly obnoxious adware

[ad_1] Given the prevalence of adware on the Google Play store, it’s important to check the reviews of unfamiliar apps; these apps in particular racked up several one-star scores, with users pointing out the problems they’ve encountered. That said, we’ve even seen cases of adware being pre-installed on Android phones, though that’s generally on phones […]

iHeartRadio shares tunes as Stories in Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat

[ad_1] Do you really, really want to be sure everyone knows what you’re listening to? iHeartRadio thinks it can help spread your musical message.

Sony’s Xperia 1 is available with hands-free Alexa

[ad_1] It’s otherwise the same distinctive (if polarizing) phone from before, including that extra-tall, 6.5-inch 4K OLED screen, triple rear cameras, Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. We found it great for watching ultra-wide videos and split-screen multitasking, but it might not be to your tastes if you’re more interested […]

Twitter’s latest test lets you follow topics

[ad_1] You’ll also have the option to mute topics, so you won’t have to risk spoiling a show or enduring a done-to-death conversation. The test is currently limited to Android users and includes a companion test that lets you create separate lists to follow individual interests, including keywords and individual users. If you know someone […]
