#FindMyDevice

Google has started rolling out the new biometric login for Find My Device app which I spotted back in May 2024

Additionally Google is also working on UI refresh for tablets.

✅ Details/Screenshots - https://www.androidauthority.com/find-my-device-biometric-login-3492571/

The biometric login is available with version 3.1.173-1. Ignore the shitty UI authentication dialog because I am using a custom ROM (A15) which is in development phase.

#GooglePhotos

Here is a screenshot of Google Photos' upcoming AI info section which will help you identify images generated through Gemini and other AI tools. We covered this initially on AndroidAuthority

It may not support AI info for every image generated through every AI image generation tool but we have companies like Adobe, BBC, Intel, Microsoft, Publicis Groupe, Sony and Truepic joining the C2PA.

The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) is an open, technical standards body addressing the prevalence of misleading information online through the development of technical standards for certifying the source and history (or provenance) of digital content.
