    PSA: If you use Android and communicate with a lot of iphone users who use iMessage, make sure you enable group text. For a very long time I suffered through receiving group chats split into individual chats but only just discovered that group text was disabled by default.

    Google is working on a public API for apps to use ultra-wideband (UWB) on supported devices

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 02:39 PM PST

    According to a code change, Google is preparing to add a new support library described as a "public API surface for apps to use UWB (ultra-wideband) on supported devices."

    UWB is a short-range wireless communication technology commonly used for applications that need precise positioning. Several Samsung flagships and Google's Pixel 6 Pro have UWB hardware already.

    Tile announced back in October that its ultra-wideband tracking tag, the Tile Ultra, will come with UWB support on both iOS and Android. Thus, this news isn't that surprising, but it's good to confirm there will be a public API available to other third-party apps.

    Thanks to /u/luca020400 for the tip!

    Google Translate readies new "Saved Translations" and "Quick Actions" widgets with Material You design

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 09:30 AM PST

    Looks like Google Translate is about to add two widgets.

    • Saved Translations: Revisit saved and recent translations
    • Translate Quick Actions: Quickly translate and transcribe phrases

    These widgets are not enabled by default in the version of the app that I installed (2022.01.27.0.04), but I manually enabled them. Here's what they look like.
