5 Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week – Android Apps Weekly

Welcome to the 474th edition of Android Apps Weekly. Here are the big headlines from the last week:

• A YouTube video seems to be causing crashes on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The video, which is in 4K and HDR, seems to cause a processing error on the phones and causing the phones to at least partially reboot. Some Pixel 6 owners have reported it as well. It doesn’t seem to affect every phone, though, and some running the Android 13 developer preview haven’t experienced the issue.
• Google Assistant had a bug this week where it forgot how to control smart home devices. Basically, it would respond to such requests by saying it doesn’t understand the users. Google rolled out a fix, so everything is okay now. However, if you noticed any issues with your Assistant and smart home stuff this week, this is probably why.
• We asked our readers if they used two-factor authentication after Twitter removed SMS two-factor authentication for non-paying users. As it turns out, a whopping 82% of our readership does, which makes us happy because 2FA is very important for security. We hope the other 18% reconsiders, and if they do, we have a list of great 2FA apps they can try out.
• Google announced some new Android features at Mobile World Congress. Some of them include app stuff. Some fo the features include noise cancellation for Google Meet, improved PDF annotation in Google Drive, Fast Pair for Chromebooks, new Google Keep features, and more. Hit the link to learn more.
• We had some more news in AI this week. Snapchat now includes a ChatGPT bot that will automatically not answer if you ask questions that break Snapchat’s terms of service. Microsoft brought ChatGPT-powered Bing and iMessage support to Windows, and our own Rita El Khoury got to try out offline AI image generation courtesy of Qualcomm. Hit the links to learn more.
