Apart from Google apps, there’s a heavy crowd of Samsung apps, which significantly reduces storage availability due to cache and app data. The company brings a cloned version of almost every Google app such as Galaxy Store, Smart Switch, Samsung Wallet, and Samsung Internet.
After setting up your newly purchased Samsung smartphone, you can uninstall the unused or cloned versions of apps. Some apps can not be uninstalled, but you can still disable them so they can’t consume battery or occupy app data or app cache.

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
