It's no secret the incognito feature on many popular web browsing apps like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are not so good at cloaking but Google has announced it's about to change. A little bit.

Google recently removed several apps from the Google Play Store after discovering they violated the Play Store terms of service -- and, more importantly, could be used as stalkerware. That doesn’t mean they’re deleted from your Android device, though, so now’s a great time to remove them.

Another wave of sketchy apps has been banned from the Google Play Store. This time around, the offending apps all came from one publisher, CooTek, who has been accused by the security firm Lookout of deploying the malicious adware BeiTaAd in its apps.

Phones break or get lost all the time, but that doesn’t mean you have to lose your personal data when and if that happens.

Google has unveiled a new social media site called Shoelace and it's looking to take on the neighbourhood king, Facebook. Unlike the reigning social media site, however, Shoelace focuses on community rather than creating a global network and to get access, you'll need an exclusive invite. It's a little bit mysterious so here's what we know about it.

Google's Pixel smartphone series is known for its software rather than its sleek designs. Their upcoming Pixel 4 seems to be no exception. Which is a polite way of saying it looks like a dead dog's arse.

Gmail has over 80 keyboard shortcuts. You don’t need them all. You do need these 19. Not only are they faster than clicking buttons, they’ll encourage other good habits to help you plow through your inbox.

I travel a ton, often to countries where my language skills are a little lacking. For those times, Google Translate has become an invaluable tool.

The Android Q update roll out is mere months away and with the Beta already available for some Android devices, users are getting excited at some of the new features due to become available.

Aside from some faster running speeds, the update will offer a general overhaul of some of the much-loved and equally as hated features across Android devices.

Wimbledon officially ends this weekend. To celebrate the tournament, Google created a fun Easter Egg that allows you to battle in your own tennis match on your phone or computer — you just need to know where to find it.

If you’re curious about what the Android Q experience will be like, but have been holding off on installing any Android Q betas, it might be time to try out the latest version, released today. Not only is this iteration of Android Q “very close” to what you’ll experience in Android Q’s full public release, as Google describes, moving up to Android Q is a great way to thwart annoying apps from harvesting data they shouldn’t otherwise be able to access.

While Chrome has let users mute audio in individual tabs for some time, Google is currently testing a new media control feature in the browser’s latest Canary build. When enabled, users can play, pause, and skip/rewind audio and video content directly from the browser’s toolbar - incredibly convenient for silencing (or starting) Spotify while you work, for example, even if you’re not looking at the Spotify tab.

We are in full rumour mode in the lead up to the release of Google's Pixel 4 and as always, there's a leak causing a stir. This time, it's not a headphone jack-less design or a missing microSD slot. No, it's even more shocking. It's the return of the bezel.

Plenty of us rely on public transportation, but there are times when your local transit system is anything but reliable.

Jumping back and forth between your phone and your PC can be annoying. Some messaging apps have web clients, so you don’t have to open your device to carry on a conversation. But there’s an easier way to reply to messages, check notifications and open your Android device’s screen without having to take your eyes off your PC.

The Google Lens has been out for nearly two years now but its impact was not quite as revolutionising as we'd all hoped. Apart from a few nifty tricks like trying to analyse what's in your camera, its lacklustre release has been, well... lacking.

Thankfully, following a new update, Google Lens will introduce some fun, and more importantly, useful new features.

While Google has introduced many great features to its Android devices, it still hasn't been able to mimic the ease of one of Apple's best features, AirDrop. All that is about to change with the introduction of Fast Share. Here's what you need to know.

Most of us have probably been enraged at some point by poor customer service and have wanted to let the world know about it. Whether it be to your loyal following on social media or anonymously on a product review site, we've all been there.

While it definitely doesn't solve the original problem, it leaves us feeling vindicated and that's what truly matters. Except that vindication could come at a huge cost.

Google’s next version of its mobile operating system, Android Q, isn’t quite ready for prime time just yet. For the brave few who don’t mind encountering a bug or two, you can download the beta of Android Q and try it out on your Android phone before it’s available to everyone else.
