Welcome to the 516th edition of Android Apps Weekly, where we discuss the latest in mobile news and take a closer look at some of the most interesting new apps and games. Let’s jump right in and take a look at some of the biggest highlights from the last week:
- The ChatGPT app may soon be able to replace Google Assistant as your digital assistant app of choice, at least that’s what Android Authority’s APK teardown hints at. The code dive suggests the app will let you pick your default assistant, though it’s unclear if Google, Samsung, and other vendors might take steps to prevent this.
- Google Messages finally supports dual-SIM RCS chats.. or at least it will soon. Some users have been able to get this feature working on Samsung-specific versions of Google Messages already and it’s even been spotted in the latest official beta app.
- A breakdown of the latest version of the Google Play app suggests that AI-generated FAQs may be coming to Google Play in the near future. Each app will generate the same three questions: What do people like most about this app? Why is this app popular? What is this app about?
- Starbucks is facing allegations that it unfairly profited through its app. The group claims Starbucks app design made it hard for customers to charge exact amounts, leaving them with extra money on the account that would often go unspent. As expected, Starbucks refutes the claim.
- TikTok Music may soon get lossless audio, at least that’s what’s suggested by a string of codes in the app that Android Authority found over the holiday season.
