Google & iHeartMedia havae been sued over “deceptive” Pixel 4 ads These ads were aired between 2019 and 2020, and featured influencers who presented the features phones allegedly didn’t own. It is reported that Google didn’t even supply Pixels before most of these ads were recorded. It is mentioned that iHeartMedia and 11 other radio networks ran Pixel 4 ads in ten large markets. They were aired about 29,000 times. It is unclear how many people listened to the commercials, of course....

Google has a plan to prevent Pixel 7 supply issues, and it includes India Why is that? Well, one of the major reasons is the whole COVID-19 situation and lockdowns in China. The situation between the US and China may be another reason why, Google may want to ensure that everything remains intact. As many of you know, an increase in COVID cases earlier this year, led to a lockdown in Shanghai....

This comes after Google had decided to break out Hangouts into many different apps. Video calling and messaging apps were separate, for consumers and workspace users. So we went from Hangouts to Duo, Allo, Chat, and Meet. Now they’ll all be in one app. Google is hoping that by bringing Duo and Meet together, it can solve a big modern communication issue. “What’s been really important is understanding how people make the choice as to what tool they’re going to use, for what purpose, in what circumstance,” says Javier Soltero, the head of Google Workspace....

The Privacy Sandbox Initiative will help make advertising more private This happens all the time: You search up fishing poles on the web, then five minutes later, all of your social media accounts and web searches are filled with ads promoting fishing poles. This means that when you searched for the fishing poles, that search was logged and given to an advertising agency that then funneled those ads right to you....

Sharing revenues with news publishers has become a controversial issue for Google. The company previously had similar cases in France and Australia. However, it could reach an agreement with the publishers. Now, the Canadian government has proposed Bill C-18 to make Google share its revenue with news publishers. Google asks the Liberal government to change some sections of the bill. According to the new rules, Google should pay publishers for linking to their content....

EcoFactor claims that Nest thermostats infringed some of their patent rights. A court in Texas has convicted Google, and it has to pay $20 million in fines. The case was ventilated in 2020, and EcoFactor initially claimed that Google’s Nest Thermostat infringed the rights of two of their patents. Finally, the court ruled that only one patent had been infringed. The controversial patent deals with the method that Google’s thermostats turn off HVAC systems to save energy....

Now, the Best of Spring Memories Collection is on Google Photos When you open up Google Photos, you should see some rounded rectangular tiles at the top of the home screen....

The Pixel 5a 5G does not offer the best display protection The Gorilla Glass 3 is mentioned on the company’s website, and that information is correct. That is something Michael Josh, a YouTuber, confirmed. He says that he double-checked with Google, just to be sure. That is quite unfortunate. The Gorilla Glass 3 is quite old at this point, and it’s not on the level of Gorilla Glass 5, 6, and Victus....

Another tidbit that Young mentioned in his tweet is that display shipments are starting in May. That’s a month earlier than last year. That could mean one (or both) of two things. The Pixel 7 might be launching earlier than the usual mid-to-late October time-frame. Or that Google is planning to make more units this year, so shipments need to start earlier. It’s more likely that it’ll be launching sooner, maybe end of September or early October....

The Google Pixel Fold surfaced in a listing under ‘Google Felix’ codename The Pixel Fold appeared under the ‘Google Felix’ codename. That is not surprising, as the ‘Felix’ codename has been reported to be its codename, a codename of Google’s upcoming foldable smartphone. Now, do note that the Pixel Fold name hasn’t been confirmed just yet. That is the name we’re using, as a tipster said it’s also used internally. That may be its final name....

The Google Pixel Watch retail box has appeared with ‘Fitbit’ branding You’ll immediately notice that this is a square box, so Google opted to do things a bit differently. Both Apple and Samsung ship their newest watches in narrow packaging, but that’s not the case with Google. This particular model seems to be the ‘Silver’ one with a ‘Charcoal’ watch band. All colors of the watch already surfaced, several times, while Google also showed us its watch faces in a recent video....

Google Play Games for PC was first announced in December last year. The initial release came in January this year but was a closed beta for a small group of users in Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. Interested users in these regions could sign up for the beta through a dedicated website and join the waitlist. Google had put in place some strict Windows system requirements, so it wasn’t available for all....

The new download button in Chrome will change shapes when the download is finished Not too long ago, we got word that Google was revamping the download button in Chrome. It will mirror that of Microsoft Edge’s download button. The button itself will be up top of the browser rather than on the bottom. When a file is actively being downloaded, you’ll see a small downward-facing arrow. A circle will slowly fill around it representing how far along the download is....

The new information will be especially important to those who already utilize the included services.
