One of the most interesting features in Android 15 is support for what’s called “Private Space”. It’s a way that you can give certain applications extra security so that even if someone can access your phone, they can’t launch the app. Neat. Here’s how to set it up and how it works…
I have heard that with the upgrade to Android 14, I can now generate AI wallpapers directly on my Pixel phone. Excellent! How do I get started, though, and can I create any image I can imagine?
Hi Dave! I wake up early and would like to be able to send text messages to friends and colleagues, but defer the sending so they don’t tease me about the fact that I get up at 4:30am every morning. Is there any way to do that on my phone? Thanks!
I woke up earlier than usual and when I checked for messages and email on my Android phone, I was disturbed to find that all the color had been removed from my screen. Is this just a nighttime thing with Android now? What was I seeing? I’ll note that now it’s daytime everything’s back to normal…
Hi Dave. I saw that a few weeks ago you wrote about how to use an iPhone as a wifi hotspot but I’m an Android person. Can I use my Pixel phone as an Internet hotspot too?
Dave! I just got a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and I just love this thing. So cool! But… I’m used to being able to shut down my phone by pressing the side button. Can I change it to do that rather than launch Bixby?
Odds are good that the camera on your Android phone – particularly if you have a Google Pixel device – is better than the webcam on your computer. Now you can use your Pixel as a remote webcam for your Mac or PC! Here’s how to get it all working…
I changed the default behavior of the power button to allow easy access to shutdown and restart, which means I don’t have a shortcut for Google Pay. Can I utilize the tap-on-back feature on my Pixel to launch Wallet instead?
I have two friends who call me all the time. I would like to have one set to always have a silent ring so I can easily ignore them, while the other I’d like to assign a custom ringtone. I’m on a Google Pixel phone. Is this possible?
I want to have my Android phone data automatically backed up so if I lose it I won’t also lose all my photos, videos, documents, etc. My company pays for us to all have Google One accounts, does that offer a backup option, and if so, how do I get it set up?
