Play Protect brings Google's app scanning to the foreground in the Play Store

Image
Earlier this month, we covered the inclusion of "Play Protect" Today, Google formally announced this feature as part of their efforts to double-down on security.  Boasting the fact that their machine learning algorithms scan over 50 billion apps each day, Google emphasized the importance of security on the Android platform. Before appearing in the Google Play store, every app undergoes Google's security screening process which includes identifying malware and ensuring that apps conform to Google's policies. Play Protect continues that process by scanning billions of apps daily to make sure they remain safe and in compliance. Play Protect's appearance in the Google Play app is Google's way of bringing their existing screening process to the foreground of your experience. Using the new Play Store, you will see when your apps were last scanned. Google says it works around the clock, constantly updating to keep up with the latest threats. Play...

Google adds 'Free App of the Week' section to the Play Store

Image
Ever since Google started allowing paid apps and games to temporarily go on sale,  we've seen dozens of great deals. Perhaps in an effort to better highlight these sales, Google has added a 'Free App of the Week' section to the Google Play Store. The section can be found by scrolling down on the 'Apps' page of the Play Store, on either desktop or mobile, or simply by clicking the source link at the bottom of the post. Currently the featured app is 'Card Wars - Adventure Time,' with the sale ending in five days.

Gmail users can now receive attachments up to 50 megabytes, sent files still limited to 25

Image
Email really isn't designed to handle massive files being sent along with messages...  but then, since the standard has been in use for decades, it's been modified in a lot of ways that weren't originally intended. Today Google is expanding email's capabilities some more, at least in terms of the Gmail system. According to the latest Gsuite blog post, Gmail users can now open attachments in incoming mail of up to 50 megabytes in size. Keep in mind that this is only for Gmail (though other email systems may have similar or greater tolerances), and only for incoming mail, at least for the time being. Gmail still has a hard limit of 25MB for anything attached to an outgoing message or reply. (Note: the limit also applies to the combined total size of all attachments: you can't send two 25MB files in the same email, or receive two 50MB files.) The blog post makes it clear that Google would very much prefer you to use Drive for your larger files (which allows...

Google search on Android can now search through Google Drive files

Image
Hidden all the way at the right end of the Google search app's tabs is 'In Apps' search.  As you might guess from the name, it allows you to search within the apps installed on your phone. Now Google has added Firebase App Indexing to the Drive Android app, allowing you to find your documents straight from the Google search app. Once you have the latest Drive update installed, you should see your files appear along with results from other apps. Tapping the 'More' button will launch you into the Drive app for a more detailed view of the results. While Google says that only the latest Drive update is required, there might be a server-side component that is still rolling out. If you don't have it right now, just wait a day or two

Netflix Has added support for downloading content to SD card

Image
Netflix adds support for downloading content to SD card After years of waiting, Netflix finally added support for saving content for offline viewing last year.

To check where Netflix is saving offline content, go to 'App Settings' at the bottom of the hamburger menu, then tap 'Download Location.' At least on my tablet, SD card was set as the new default location. The Netflix update does not appear to be a staged rollout, so it should be live for everyone on the Play Store already.

This trick would be popular to old android gurus for those who don't know about limiting your background application to conserve data.

One normally starts thinking about security only when it gets compromised. But the services you normally use put in a lot of effort to keep you and your data secure. Here’s a quick rundown of the steps you need to follow to secure your online presence. 1. Whatsapp WhatsApp already uses end-to-end encryption to secure your chats — no one, not even WhatsApp staff members can read your chats if encryption is on (which it is by default). But a common scenario is losing your phone. Before you realise the loss, a thief will have full access to your WhatsApp account which may include photosvideos, personal information and messages. The thief may also impersonate you to extract money from your contacts. To prevent this, lock WhatsApp with a PIN — you will need third-party apps to do this. In case of theft of phone with an unlocked WhatsApp account, get a n...
