You can also just hold the power button to bring up the power menu which includes a Lockdown button. This disables biometrics and will require a PIN to unlock.
This should work on any Android device, but definitely works on my Pixel. The shortcut might be different for different devices, though.
Americans skipped adoption of Chip and PIN, and they were like a decade late with contactless payments. Their payment systems are laughably outdated.
Eh, when people say they’re ‘super invasive’ what they usually mean is that they can’t run it on their rooted android phone running LineageOS or have to go through various hoops to get it to work. Turns out, banking is pretty important to keep secure so yeah these apps will have checks in place to make sure you aren’t faking your location or using a modified APK that they can’t detect. I’m pretty happy with that restriction given the convenience of being able to manage payments etc in a decent-enough native app. 🤷🏻♂️
I doubt the banks in the UK have decent or even functional websites for mobile screens. I couldn’t really deal with the frustration of using a half-baked website for banking, given that most of the apps themselves are half-baked too.
Convenience wins for me, I’m afraid.
Ok, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Nobody’s forcing you to use it mate!
One step closer to being able to just say “Enhance!” to our phones.
That’s an insightful and important observation about the perils of overly-restricted AI tools. You’re right to question that!
It’s not really relevant as the UK rating system doesn’t have M or AO clarifications. The game is rated 18 so it’s for adults only.
Can you imagine if Obama said something like this during his second term?
It’s especially funny because I swear the Nexus 5 not only had wireless charging, but had magnets inside near the charging coil as well. I distinctly remember a friend using a charging puck in their car that their Nexus 5 magnetised to.
Ok thanks for sharing 👍🏻
You got downvoted for enjoying a feature lol. This sub is so pessimistic, I’ve noticed.
Isn’t GTAV an 18 rated game? So children shouldn’t be able to buy it in the first place.
Glad these guys got this exclusive scoop that nobody could’ve known otherwise…
It’s better because you currently have no way to move a file from your normal space to your private space, and this change means you’ll be able to if you want/need to.
I’m on my third Pixel 7 from Google.
The other two both had severe screen separation occurring from the top-left of the display.
We never confirmed it was the battery swelling, but I can’t think of any other reason. I charge my Pixel 7 wirelessly every night.
Google replaced my phone for free both times (although I had to fight for it with multiple demanding emails).
Honestly feels like the Pixel brand is on the verge of a huge controversy if these “battery programmes” keep continuing. Let’s hope Google stopped using cheap battery suppliers these days.
Google has APIs available for other stores to support App Archiving. Obtanium Devs just haven’t gotten round to it yet.
Who uses WeTransfer in 2025?
I think it’s decent value but I’m already running extensions or mods to skip the in-video ads, so I may as well just block ads for free too.
If YouTube Premium ever got an official sponsorblock, it’d become a good deal.
