Samsung Clock Style 8.1.32 update

Samsung just served the October 2022 software update to the Galaxy S21 series smartphones in Germany. In addition to the October 2022 security update, the changelog mentions that the Galaxy S21 users won’t be able to rollback to an earlier version after installing the OTA.

The Galaxy S21 series users might be assuming it as a normal change, but, Samsung may have included some important code changes to prevent rollback on the devices before delivering the Android 13-based One UI 5.0. The company has already released the October patch for the S21 lineup in India and the United States.

The South Korean tech giant is expected to share the details of its October 2022 security patch anytime, while the update rollout is already happening from September 26 – starting with Galaxy A52. As the new OTA is adding rollback restrictions, we can assume it as a notable move towards One UI 5.0 distribution.

Google App bringing back Material 3 design for bottom bar

Google App Material 3 design

Google App is updating its bottom navigation bar by bringing back a more modern design called Material 3. This change introduces a new pill-shaped indicator that shows which tab you’re using.

The revamped bottom navigation bar arrives with the latest beta version 15.40 of the Google App, thanks to 9to5Google. With the fresh design, Google aims to make it easier for users to navigate.

Instead of just highlighting the tab icon you’re on, the new design surrounds the icon with a pill shape to make it clearer and more appealing. Google app initially introduced this design in 2023 but later decided to revert to its previous look. Now, after some changes, the app has once again been back with the updated look.

Aside from the testing new design, the company is also looking into a new verification feature for its Search function. This feature would give verified businesses a blue checkmark, similar to what you see in Gmail to help users easily identify trustworthy sources online.

Not everyone has access to Google App’s latest beta update yet, but users can force-stop the app through their device settings if they don’t see the new look right away. With the return of Material 3 design and new features on the way, users can look forward to a more enhanced experience in the Google App.
