Looks like I'm receiving RCS spam/phishing despite NEVER registering for RCS.   

I never agreed to be part of RCS. I don't want it. Does anyone know how I can perma block my number from being existing on RCS network?

Android 14 adds an opt-in developer setting to make the nav bar background color transparent by default in apps.

Android 15 may take things a step further by forcing all apps that target SDK 35 or higher (ie. Android 15+) to have a transparent nav bar!

You can now opt out of automatically receiving Google System Updates. Depending on your country, you'll be able to access the "system services updates" page under Settings > Google > More (the three-dot menu).

Google System Updates are comprised of updates to the Google Play Store app, the Google Play Services app, the Android WebView, and Project Mainline modules (via Google Play System Updates).

If you're curious about what's new in the Android 14 QPR1 beta but you don't want to run unstable software, I made a roundup of every new feature and change I spotted in Beta 1: https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/android-14-qpr1-beta-1-every-new-feature

By the way, I heard that the Google Pay issue was resolved in the last 24 hours, so you should be able to make contactless payments now if you're on Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1.

With 0-days hitting Chrome, iOS, and dozens more this month, is no software safe?

With 70 zero-days uncovered so far this year, 2023 is on track to set a new record.
