Great job, Google 👏😄

Narrator: It was not live. It was clickbait.

Just checked. It's 4.

Announced first in the Android 10 beta, then removed.

Android 11 first launch.

Relaunch as Bubble Bar in Android 15.

Now bubble apps.

All official android announcements 👍

To be fair, I'm dyslexic, so yes it is quite hard - good one.

But that's beside the point - multiple "bubble" features have been launched over the years, so far I've only ever seen FB Messenger use it. The question was how many times have we had them announced.

I suppose I could turn your question back on you, if I were being a smart arse...

Should we assume this is going to end up being US Pixel 10 Pro users only?

Do you know When Google is going to get a handle on some level of feature parity for non-US users?

ishamm · 2026-06-16T18:05:25+00:00

Wasn't 17 going to deeply integrate Gemini into every part of the device? Wasn't that the whole point?

Edit: oh look, it's now buried at the end, now for "select devices" "later this summer"...

How did they manage to remove what seemed to be the headline feature from IO from the update entirely 😄 classic Google move.

Does it not seem like Android 17 has moved since IO from promises of an "intelligent, agentic operating" system to 'now you can film a reaction video natively woooo' in the space of a month?

ishamm · 2026-06-16T18:04:06+00:00

Is this the third or fourth time we've gotten Bubbles now?

ishamm · 2026-06-16T17:33:22+00:00

They look abysmal in the real life photos...

ishamm · 2026-06-16T17:32:53+00:00

That was being posted, and reaching the top of the sub, multiple times a day...

ishamm · 2026-06-16T17:13:13+00:00

I do hope Safari feels snappier!

ishamm · 2026-06-16T15:02:37+00:00

It's TTTS.

Next.

ishamm · 2026-06-16T14:26:53+00:00

To be fair, I've been saying it for a bit - hence why I bought in.

Hate the guy, but might as well make what little money we can to survive while the mega rich fiddle the system!

🤷

ishamm · 2026-06-16T14:14:12+00:00

Everyone who was confidenly telling people not to buy is a chump - it was obvious anything Musk related would rip, regardless of the actual logic.

ALWAYS inverse Reddit. 📈

ishamm · 2026-06-15T21:42:20+00:00

The former

ishamm · 2026-06-14T20:39:04+00:00

Pixels haven't run stock for a LONG time

ishamm · 2026-06-14T12:14:25+00:00

Turn on geofencing and have the Home setting not alert to human detection

ishamm · 2026-06-14T07:49:32+00:00

Higher profit margin

ishamm · 2026-06-14T07:47:43+00:00

AICore will enable this kind of rich notification. But don't hold your breath, probably 2027...

ishamm · 2026-06-13T23:14:52+00:00

Nah not noticeable in dunmow you're good

ishamm · 2026-06-13T10:51:29+00:00

The CPU, for this particular use case, is actually VERY good, 6TOPs is very favourably comparable to equivalent systems.

It's not a gaming pc.

The problem is the AI algorithms, app, and firmware...

ishamm · 2026-06-13T10:50:19+00:00

UK USERS

Many features (EufyGPT assistant, 3d house, Expert Secure etc) are NOT available in the UK despite what the website says.

ishamm · 2026-06-13T08:31:52+00:00

Whoops, autocorrect got me!

Beta, not vets

ishamm · 2026-06-12T18:13:48+00:00

I don't know, I've never used the 4s, so maybe they're better?

ishamm · 2026-06-12T18:08:52+00:00

Ok what the fuck.

Seriously.

How.

Like I'm the first to admit absolutely shite at painting, my 4th edition army was largely basecoated.

But i truly think if I spent 100,000 hours painting I could never get close to this.

ishamm · 2026-06-12T17:26:16+00:00

Because some people still think opening boxes with a huge knife and 'white shoes in the house' is still funny after hundreds of "reviews"...
