This week, Google Play Store users witnessed a subtle yet significant change as the beloved “Google Camera” was renamed to read “Pixel Camera.” While this rebranding may have gone unnoticed by some, it coincides with a paradigm shift for the tech giant, particularly regarding the launch of its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro as […]
Continue ReadingGoogle says wallpaper and emoji help us ‘be ourselves’, but my Pixel’s impact is greater than that
In a recent article on ‘The Keyword‘ by Google, Sebastian Bauer celebrates Android’s customization features such as wallpapers, widgets, and emoji as tools that ‘help us be ourselves’ on our phones. However, to me, what truly empowers us to be ourselves on our phones is our data, and the phone serves as a gateway to […]
