Your Phone app Update

Your Phone app on Windows 10 tests controlling music playback on your Android device


If you have a Windows 10-powered computer, the Your Phone app can prove to be pretty useful: it allows for integrating your computer and your phone, allowing you to call people, message people, see notifications, and much more. The app is also constantly updated by Microsoft to further improve this integration and make it more seamless. Microsoft is now going to include a feature for controlling your phone’s music playback right from your computer.

The feature would allow you to control music currently streaming from your phone, whether we’re talking about locally downloaded music or streaming apps like Spotify, YouTube Music, or Apple Music, without needing to take away attention from your workflow or having to pick up your phone. Tracks, titles, and album art will remain synced between your computer and your phone, and you’ll be able to skip tracks, pause and resume music, and more. You can also change the music source right from your computer by using the drop down menu in the audio player. 


In order to use this feature, you’ll need a PC running Windows 10 (October 2018 update or later), an Android Phone running Android 7.0 Nougat or later, and an app that supports music controls (so pretty much any modern music streaming/playback app). Additionally, whatever music player you’re using must have notifications enabled since that’s what the Your Phone app will be using for controlling music.

The feature in its current state still has a couple of bugs and issues, such as the fact that the “back” button can either do the previous track or rewind track depending on the app. Additionally, YouTube video controls and Audible are currently not supported by this feature.

ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1 ANDROID 10 STABLE UPDATE DETAILS OUT

ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1 ANDROID 10 STABLE UPDATE DETAILS OUT Many manufactures are recently moving towards stock android, this eases them to update their devices but Asus is proving otherwise with the continued delaying of the ZenFone Max Pro M1 Android 10 update. The device should be running the stable Android 10 at the time of this writing, but the best you can get is the beta version. Released in late January 2020, it has now been three months of testing. Maybe this means they are making sure to release bug-free experience for their device. Given Asus touts the ZenFone Max Pro M1 software as pure Android, it’s hard to explain what is really delaying the development and rollout of the software. Ideally, having few modifications to make to AOSP should directly translate to swift releases, but that isn’t the case here. Soon after the first ZenFone Max Pro M1 Android 10 beta build was released, Asus also released another build for those interested in rolling back to...

Snapchat is most likely to get a Redesign and a Dark mode soon Image source Last year on 2019 google announced system-wide dark mode for android 10 and after that, all app slowly started adopting dark mode recently google play store got updated to add dark mode  After completing this redesign this update is more likely to get on ios first. The things that are most likely to get changed are Discover Page , Navigation Bar, and many more. Discover Page The Discover page is arguably the most important part of Snapchat’s application behind the camera interface.

I decided to implement a recommendation section for early content exposure and then built on a category feature. Image source Navigation Bar Let’s first discuss this navigation bar. It was determined through the user research that the Maps and Discover feature are two of the least used features on th...

Google Pixel 4a Camera Samples Leaked, and they look great

Google Pixel 4a Camera Samples Leaked, and they look great Someone with a Google Pixel 4a just tweeted out a few camera samples, and they look great. It’s becoming more and more apparent that Google is planning to announce the Pixel 4a at any time now as more leaks keep occurring with new bits of information. This one comes from a tech YouTuber in Cuba who took to Twitter to post a photo comparison between what they claim is a Pixel 4a and a Redmi Note 7. The images from the Pixel 4a look quite a bit better with less noise and more vibrant colors than the Redmi Note 7. The Pixel 4a is expected to come with a 12MP sensor while the Redmi Note 7 has a 48MP camera. Higher megapixels don’t always lead to better pictures, which is proven here with this comparison (assuming the better photos were actually taken with a Pixel 4a, which can’t be proven from the tweet).
