/r/Android Community Feedback Poll (February 2021 edition)

Posted: 23 Feb 2021 04:08 AM PST

Hey /r/android, we had conducted a feedback poll last year. We have decided to make a few revisions (mainly a preferential voting system) since some of the results were rather open-ended and did not present a clear solution. Participation on the last poll was also lower than anticipated since we only got about 930 responses.

NOTES

The poll was created via Google Forms and requires sign-in to prevent duplication of votes.
Most questions require a response although a few yes/no type questions are optional.
Email addresses aren't collected by the /r/android mod team.
Responses can be edited after they have been submitted.
The order of yes/no responses have been randomized.

The results will be publicly shared after a few weeks. We'll also post a follow-up thread and discuss the steps we're going to take.

Your Android is now even safer — and 5 other new features

Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:03 AM PST

Hi everyone,

It wasn't all that long ago that we introduced Android users to features like Emoji Kitchen and auto-narrated audiobooks. But we like to stay busy, so today we're highlighting six of the latest Google updates that will make Android phones more secure and convenient — for everyone.

When you enter a password into an app on your Android using Autofill with Google, we will check it against a list of known compromised passwords. If there's a match, we'll alert you. That way, your data stays safe and your accounts secure.
With schedule send on Messages, you can compose a text message when it's convenient for you, and schedule it to send at your chosen date and time.
For those who are blind or have trouble seeing the display, TalkBack makes Android even more accessible and opens up a full phone experience.
If you are busy multitasking like cooking, or doing chores - now you can more easily control music, send texts, set alarms using just your voice, even when your phone is locked.
With dark theme in Google Maps soon expanding to all Android users globally, you can give your eyes a much-needed break and save on battery life.
From custom wallpapers to new voice-activated games, Android Auto's new features help you stay focused on the road and get more enjoyment out of your drive.

For more information on these new features, check out our new spotlight page.
