    Slide missing from the Play Store?

    Hey all,

    Whew. Google bots have struck again, and Slide is temporarily unavailable on the Play Store. I'm working with Google on the issue and hope to have Slide back up soon!

    Cheers,

    Carlos

    The more I think about Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5, the more strongly I feel this is Google caving to carriers. Carriers don't want an iPhone alternative, they have plenty from Samsung. Carriers want lower cost 5G entry points, and Google is eagerly filling this void.

    Pixel 4a, 4a 5G, and Pixel 5 explained: Making sense of Google’s 2020 smartphone lineup

    If all of Google's Chat services could pull data from each other, could there be a unified Android app for all messages?

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 03:14 PM PDT

    As it stands, any two Android users have many methods of conveniently and easily sending each other an instant message (or.. DM) using Google services.

    In just a few taps or less Android users can send texts, often with with enriched features, using Google developed apps including:

    Hangouts: two Google accounts can carry and ongoing conversation with photos, videos, gifs, and typing indicator / read receipt. [G accounts]

    Photos app: Under the Sharing tab, the "Say something" feature allows for a continuous thread of conversation also with photo and video sharing. Users can also send a quick Heart emoji in a single tap, similar to a "Like" gesture. [G accounts]

    Gmail app: Currently, only Gsuite users have access to the Chat feature, however, recent APK insights (cred: 9to5google) have indicated that this could be a feature of the free Gmail for Android app in a coming release. If true, this would add another thread of conversation between two Google accounts. [G accounts]

    Messages app: RCS - a thread of enriched conversation including Google Assistant integration, suggested replies, location sharing, typing indicator, full quality photo sharing etc.. (*Tip: with beta version you can now react to messages) [phone numbers]

    Duo app: Simple text messages can be sent in the form of "Notes," which show up in horizontally scrolling tiles interwoven chronologically alongside Duo calls and "Hearts" which can be sent in one tap. [both G accounts and phone numbers]

    I'd like to preface this discussion by saying I am not necessarily in favor of removing or replacing any of these apps.

    I think these are all well placed areas to implement a Direct Message feature.

    But my question for you all, is how can these conversations be continuous all throughout?

    Would it be far too complicated be in one of these several apps and upon tapping the "Chat" button (or "Note" or "Say something" etc), what you see in turn is the full thread including all the other messages from all of those other respective conversations?

    Because it seems like for example, if I have a G account, and my wife has a G account, then we should be able to continue a conversation from Duo, to Hangouts, to RCS, to Photos app, and so on.

    This raises the other question of how to logistically achieve this?

    Does the tap of the Message button automatically launch a single, standalone, universal messaging app?

    Or

    Do all of these instant messaging avenues stay separate, but the conversations from every app linked to those two or more Google Accounts are imported in from elsewhere?

    What do you think? What do you prefer? And how can we get Google to prioritize this venture?

    Thank you for participating in this discussion!

    PSA - Gmail for Android and how to make text hyperlinks [Discussion]

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 08:25 AM PDT

    Apologies in advance if this is already well known, but I couldn't see anything in a search. Also, apologies if unsuitable for the sub.

    So, if you use the Android Gmail app, you may share my intense frustration that you can't simply select text and add an unseen hyperlink to it. Instead it seems that you can only paste the full (and often ugly) link.

    But there actually is a way to do it, albeit a needlessly complex method which should not be required to do something so straightforward. To wit:

    1. Copy your link (or links) and paste into your new email message. You can also write most of your email now if preferred, or you can do it later.
    2. Hit the back arrow to save as a draft.
    3. Reopen the draft and the hyperlink will now have turned blue and be clickable.
    4. Now place your cursor somewhere in the link and inside it, type the text you want to be your link. It should remain blue and underlined.
    5. Delete all the parts of the URL that you don't want to be visible, leaving only your preferred text, which will still be linked to the original URL.
    6. Send your email, while cursing the Gmail dev team for not implementing a better way using the existing formatting menu (which, incidentally, should be available automatically IMO, and not require users to enable it in each new email).

    So... is it utterly ridiculous that we have to do it this way? Yes. Does it work? Also yes.

    Hope it's useful to someone, and have a great weekend folks :-)

    PS, I discovered this on a blog post, which I'll link in the comments.
