Google can now delete accounts that have been unused for 2 years
Google Blog
Google has announced that from December 2023, they may delete inactive accounts that haven't been used for 2 years, including content in Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar, YouTube and Google Photos.
Abandoned accounts are 10x less likely to have 2FA enabled, which can make them more vulnerable to identity theft. (so the best way to combat this is to remove your access to all of your accounts and email, right?)
This will only affect personal Google accounts, and not organizations like businesses or schools.
To keep your account active, you'll need to do one of either:
• have any subscription including Google One
• read/send an email
• use Google Drive/Search
• watch a YouTube video
• download an app from the Play Store
• sign in using Google for a third party app
• sign in to Google Photos
Google will send multiple notifications to your emails (including the recovery) before removing any content.

First ever look at Pixel 8 Pro
91Mobiles
The leaker Kamila Wojciechowska has released a real life video showcasing a prototype Google Pixel 8 Pro. You can see the full design of the phone in white and a showcase of the brand new thermometer feature.
There's now one wide pill fitting all of the cameras that looks larger than the one on the Pixel 7 Pro, and next to it there's the LED flash and thermometer sensor.
The infrared thermometer sensor lets you scan the body temperature by bringing the phone to your forehead, similar to other touchless thermometers.

Material You theming on Wear OS 4
9To5Google
Besides the changes announced during Google I/O, there's more new goodies in the future Wear OS update! The 9To5Google team have enabled a hidden toggle to "enable dynamic theme" which brings the familiar Material You color theming known from Android 12 and newer!
With the dynamic theme, the UI elements like the Quick Settings tiles, Settings or the Play Store will get themed in the color of your watch face.
For example, the shade "Lavender" will bring a pink hue to the system elements and "Honey" will theme it in yellow/golden-brown. Third party watch faces will theme your watch in blue, although it might be customizable by watch face developers.

Android 14 Beta 2.1 is now available!
Release Notes
An update to the second Android 14 beta has been released. It's available for Pixel 4a 5G and later Pixel models via OTA if you are signed up to the beta program.
Top resolved issues:
• Fixed an issue that prevented users from completing device setup after opting a device running an Android 14 beta build out of the beta program.
• Fixed more issues that could cause the battery percentage to display as 0% regardless of the actual charge level of the device.
• Fixed issues that sometimes caused audio disruptions with the device’s speakers.
• Fixed system stability issues that could cause apps or the device to freeze or crash.
• Fixed an issue with always-on-display mode when using a device with Android Auto.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the Google Photos app to crash when trying to open certain photos.
• Fixed an issue where, while gesture navigation was enabled for a device, putting a video into picture-in-picture mode in the Google TV app made the picture-in-• picture window disappear, even though playback continued and audio could still be heard.
• Fixed an issue that caused the Google Contacts app to crash when managing account settings.
• Fixed an issue where the icon for the Google Messages app did not display for notifications when always-on-display mode was enabled.
Users that want to opt out of the beta program should take the following steps before opting out:
- Update the device to Android 14 Beta 2.1, either through the over-the-air (OTA) update prompt, or by downloading an OTA image and then applying the update manually.
- Reset the pin, pattern, or password that's used on the device by navigating to Settings > Security & privacy > Screen lock. You can use the same pin, pattern, or password that was used previously, but you need to go through the setup flow.

Google Home 3.1 is out with a new music player, light controls and better UI for tablets
9To5Google
Google is slowly rolling out the 3.1 update to Google Home with some tweaks to make it more tablet-friendly. The main tabs are now more rounded with the Devices tab now listing all rooms in a row.
You can also find changes to the speaker music player, as it got redesigned along with the light control menu.
There's now a tall pill used to control the brightness of the light and a floating action button to precisely choose a color. For lights that can only do light/warm lighting, you can find 6 preset toggles to change the color temperature.

Pixel 8's SoC leaked - here's what's in Tensor G3
Kamila Wojciechowska
The core layout has been changed to 1+4+4 with four 2.15GHz Cortex-A510s, four 2.45GHz Cortex-A715s, and a single 3GHz Cortex-X3.
Due to the ARMv9 architecture, Tensor G3 is 64-bit only and will not support 32-bit apps. ARMv9 brings Memory Tagging Extensions which can prevent memory-based attacks.
The GPU has been upgraded to a 10-core Mali-G715 chip running at 890MHz with Ray Tracing support.
Google included their second-gen 1065MHz DSP to speed up image processing. The MFC block now supports 8K30 video encoding/decoding in H.264 and HEVC. Pixel 8 will be the first phone that can encode AV1 up to 4K30.
Its TPU now runs at 1.1GHz for better performance in AI-related tasks.
Tensor G3 includes a newer Samsung UFS controller, which supports UFS 4.0 that can double speeds and efficiency up to 50%.
In other news, the modem will remain the same with some changes. Also, trans rights 🏳️⚧️
