Headlines this week
- Google Play got a new feature this week that will recommend unused applications for you to uninstall. This will save you space, obviously, but depending on the type of app, it may also help save you a bit of battery life. This is one of the few actually useful cleaner features we've seen and it should be rolling out right now.
- In an effort to make Google Now and "Okay, Google" more friendly, Google has hired Emma Coats. For those who may not know, Coats has worked on movies such as Brave, the Spongebob Squarepants movie, and Monsters University. The goal is to make Google Now feel more human to go along with its efficiency.
- A fun new Xposed Module has rolled out called N-ify. The idea behind this unique little mod is to add a bunch of Android N's features to Lollipop and Marshmallow. A lot of the features are aesthetic, which is fine, but does include a few features like quick recent app switching, which we thought was cool.
- Amazon debuted Alexa in browser format this week. This idea is that you can test out and use the Alexa service without having to drop $200 on a device that carries it. While it's not overly useful for anything other than seeing what it's like for right now, it's still a fun way to see what Alexa is all about.
- In a blog post late last week, Google celebrated the one year anniversary of Google Photos by announcing that Photos has accumulated 13.8 petabytes of photos. That's about 182 years of HD movies worth of space if you watched them back to back. Most of those are selfies, obviously, and it shows how successful the service has been.
- If you subscribe to YouTube Red, you may be eligible for a free Chromecast!
