Cut ~20% APK size & boost warm startup by 11% just by auditing R8 rules.

AGP 9.3+ added the R8 Configuration Analyzer (:app:analyze<Variant>R8Config). It grades shrinking coverage in an HTML report—running much faster than a full release build.

Who TF even uses voicemail in 2025? For that we have WhatsApp. I would rather send you a text or voice note on WhatsApp instead of recording a voice mail

With the new AI Mode Google can easily beat ChatGPT in terms of daily usage. However, where is the ad revenue gonna come from, for Google? 🤔

I don't know if LLMs will replace engineers or not. But for sure, LLMs are great at generating test cases if we give them some examples. 😅

This is a good security measure. However Android still struggles with fast and secure ways of verifying these certificates unlike iOS.

iOS has Certificate Transparency built into the OS. It's high time Android does the same too.

With all these advancements in AI/ML what I want to do is order food by entering "Order me a pizza with olives, mushrooms and green pepper" and the AI should probe me for missing information to place the order.

Essentially a chatbot, but within all the apps and products

#Patriotism is a different thing to different people, mine today seems to be to dream of young Indian products and entrepreneurs killing it inside and outside India. Enough of the foreign franchise is better, clothes, jewellery, food, auto, content, shoes, and just about everything else.

Will pick great products with terrible marketing every time, sales I hope can be solved for easier than product. The reason we made this investment is also this, every ancillary player in this space said #Ather, the product is the best, but they don't know how to sell, conservative, measured, etc...

When I search for a word, I have to switch between Thesaurus and Dictionary to understand its meaning and find its synonyms. This is one of the worst UX I have ever seen. When I search for a word I expect the meaning of the word and the synonyms to be shown together.

I want all the OS creatures to have a feature in which, when we described the desired outcome, it will recommend the settings to be changed, and will change them all with 1 tap

These days the phone settings have become so complex that to change something simple we need to dig in within the settings which is very confusing and time consuming. This becomes a lot more difficult when we have to change multiple settings to achieve the desired result.

[Saran @SankaranDev]

When will @GooglePlay add a feature which tells from when an app update is under review and also some ETA on when the review is expected to be completed?
