#Netflix

Netflix's upcoming HDR toggle might save your movie experience (APK teardown)

In short - they might add a setting or a control button over the video player to turn off HDR playback or switch between HDR/SDR. This will be helpful on devices where users are blinded (:p) by brightness increase because of HDR and there are even various reports of HDR making the screen too dark on some Samsung devices. So turning off HDR playback will help those users.

#FindMyDevice

Google's Find My Device could soon get UWB and AR upgrades (APK teardown)

UWB support, if and when it happens, could usher in a new generation of Android trackers that enable precise location. Apple equips several of its devices with UWB tech to enable high-precision indoor location tracking.

#Google

Google is testing a bottom search and a search icon in the header of chrome custom tabs inside the Google app.

Both of these things will allow you to start a new search without going back while you are browsing inside the Google app.
