Apple has announced that its Messages app will support the RCS messaging standard in iOS 18.

I just got a new phone (Sony Xperia 1 VI) and I’d like to replace the standard google apps with some open source alternatives. I already tried a bunch in the past, but not all of them feel quite right compared to the google apps. Lineage OS 21 has a few apps I’d like to try, especially the dialer and keyboard app. Do any of...

Sorry for a kinda clickbait title but it is what it is. I just watched a video about Android 15 changes and a lot of them are either not important or straight up bad....
It looks like a very well built app to convert web pages to lite apps. It also seems to be based on Firefox and seems to include something similar to that of Firefox Multiaccount Containers for every webapp, on top of an adblocker. Seems very neat.
