Google internally formed 'Fortnite Task Force' after Epic Games skip the Play Store
Android Authority
Fortnite is known for skipping away from Play Store as Epic Games don't want their in-app payment get cut down by Google, but this results in Google to form Fortnite Task Force after they skipped Play Store in 2018.
The mention of it is spotted in a legal filling made by Epic this week (via Bloomberg). The task force seems to take advantage of a possible security issue for users sideloading Fortnite, instead of waiting for 90 days before disclosing security issue, Google just went ahead and disclosed it within 9 days.
We can just see that how Google hates Epic. Anyway, Google is lowering app subscription fee from 30% to 15% starting from 2022, which should be much more friendly for app developers.

Bose 700 for Pixel 6 pre-orders are out of stock in Europe, but there a better deal
Android Police
If you are in Europe and pre-order a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, you will be gifted with a Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 worth €400. As the stock are getting scarce, Google found that they won't be able to ship it to all customers, hence they decided to come up with another pre-order bundle, and it a better deal than the original offer.
Posted by someone on Reddit, Google is reaching out to several customers who pre-order the Pixel 6 and informed they will be getting the Bose QuietComfort 45 worth €350 and a €75 Google Store voucher. The pre-order bundle offer is worth €425, which is up from the Bose 700's value of €400. QuietComfort45 provides worse sound quality compared to Bose 700, but it provides superior noise cancellation and longer battery life.
Meanwhile U.S. and Canada customers are getting the Pixel Buds A-series as usual.

Google Assistant ‘Continued Conversation’ seems to be broken on all Pixel phones
9To5Google
Google Assistant "Continued Conversation" debut with the Pixel 4, and it has been included in all newer Pixels till the latest Pixel 6, but for the past week or so, it starts to become non-functional in all Google Pixel devices.
After giving the command and getting a response, the Assistant light bar vanish instantly, and you have to activate it again in order to use it again. When working normally, it should continue to listen for the next 10 seconds.
Google seems to be aware of the issue at this point, and they said they are working on "an immediate fix" (lol). Anyway, an update for the fix will be release soon to restore the functionality.

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro surprise update apparently fixed fingerprint scanner issue
XDA Developers | Previous post
Just a few hours ago, Google released new update for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and it seems to address fingerprint scanner issue.
Google till now didn't release what changes in the new update, but the changelog provided by Verizon hinted that it addresses the fingerprint scanner issue:
The current software update improves the performance of your device’s fingerprint sensor.
The update seems to be improving the fingerprint scanner to obtain results and unlock the phone faster. Not sure if Google fixes other fingerprint scanner issue or not, as the fingerprint scanner can be unlock by someone else, also the functionality will break if the battery run out.
The update should be arriving on your Pixel 6 by this time, or you can check our previous post to get the latest build download link.

Gmail new Material You widget is rolling out on Android 12

After a few months rolling out Material You design in the Gmail app, Google is starting to roll out new Material You widget for Gmail too.
In the narrowest possible layout of the widget (3x3, with 5x5 grid layout), it shows you the mails you have in list with archive button at the right, with the compose FAB button being reposition to the top right of the widget. Unread counter will appear beside the FAB button.
Increasing the width (5x3) of the widget give you access to bottom bar with Chat, Spaces and Meet shortcuts, tapping on it open the respective section in the app. Shrinking the height (5x2) reposition the shortcuts to a right sidebar layout.
Sadly, the widget is only limited to Android 12 users, it is available in the app version 2021.10.31.
