PSA - Gmail for Android and how to make text hyperlinks [Discussion]

Apologies in advance if this is already well known, but I couldn't see anything in a search. Also, apologies if unsuitable for the sub.

So, if you use the Android Gmail app, you may share my intense frustration that you can't simply select text and add an unseen hyperlink to it. Instead it seems that you can only paste the full (and often ugly) link.

But there actually is a way to do it, albeit a needlessly complex method which should *not* be required to do something so straightforward. To wi...

If all of Google's Chat services could pull data from each other, could there be a unified Android app for all messages?

As it stands, any two Android users have many methods of conveniently and easily sending each other an instant message (or.. DM) using Google services.

Photos app: Under the Sharing tab, the "Say something" feature allows fo...

The more I think about Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5, the more strongly I feel this is Google caving to carriers. Carriers don't want an iPhone alternative, they have plenty from Samsung. Carriers want lower cost 5G entry points, and Google is eagerly filling this void.

Carrying 2 phones for different purposes

Does anyone here carry 2 phones (*cough** not for cheating on your SO)?

Using S9+ now but battery will need replaced soon (4.5hrs SoT) & would prefer something a little smaller.

Considering a used Pixel 3 for camera/WiFi and getting a different daily driver (e.g. S10). Since I'm touring Europe I'd like to take great pictures. Thought about a small DSLR but want to upload pictures directly to the net. And I don't believe having the Pixel 3 as a daily driver is a good idea, hence the idea of g...

Android OEMs need to finally step up the game of hapatic feedback.

Been enjoying my Android phones for past few years and just got a 11 Pro and Im just blown away by the haptic feedback. It's trully a feature that transforms the way you use the phone in a 3D way. The keyboard literally feels like you are pressing on a physical keyboard. It's that good. The feedback is so strong and feels like 3D not just flat boring "bzzzzz". Ive been told Google has improved it with latest Pixel phones which is good news. But seriously most of Android phones don't even come cl...
