Google May Copy Samsung OneUI’s Stackable Widgets Feature: What It Means for Android

Google is trying to add a stackable widgets feature to Android, once again copying Samsung's OneUI. This feature allowed users to stack multiple widgets on the home screen, in one widget container.

Google’s Android development team arranged an ask me anything session on Android Developer's official YouTube channel. In this session, they were asked about stackable widgets to which they replied:

"Since some brands are already offering it and users as well as developers are requesting this feature, Google is looking into adding it into the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)."

Google Monopoly Under Fire: Trump's DOJ Wants Chrome & Android Sold Off

Google Monopoly Under Fire: Trump's DOJ Wants Chrome & Android Sold Off

Main Image

Trump's Department of Justice renewed its demands for Google to sell off Google Chrome and potentially Android to break its monopoly over search engines and devices, last Friday. This followed last year's ruling by a judge of the U.S. District Court regarding the proposal submitted by the Department of Justice under Biden's administration.

The Context:

Last year, Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia gave a ruling that found Google had illegally maintained a monopoly in online search. Judge Mehta asked the Justice Department and the states that brought the antitrust case to submit solutions to correct the search monopoly.

Tesla loses $127 billion in one-day - Tesla's Stocks down by 55% since December

Tesla's Gigafactory at New York, U.S.

Tesla stock has dropped by over 55% since December, a significant collapse that has shocked shareholders and analysts alike.

JD Vance reveals the Trump's Tiktok Sell Deal could be Done by April 5, Tiktok Getting Unbanned in US

JD Vance

U.S. Vice President JD Vance suggested that the deal would likely be finalized by April 5, to sell Tiktok and operate it in the U.S.

“There will almost certainly be a high-level agreement that I think satisfies our national security concerns, allows there to be a distinct American TikTok enterprise” Vance, who was asked by President Donald Trump to help broker the deal, said in an interview with NBC News.

TikTok was banned in the U.S. last year, after then-President Joe Biden signed bipartisan legislation that requires the app’s Chinese-based owner, ByteDance, to sell the app to a non-Chinese buyer or face a nationwide ban. Vance is working with national security adviser Michael Waltz to find a U.S.-based buyer.

Siri AI Features

Apple has been targeted over its slow progress in AI and the Siri features it announced a long time ago. The tech giant has officially delayed the AI features for Siri and its devices that would set them apart in the AI race
