Welcome to the 487th edition of Android Apps Weekly, where we bring you the latest news and releases from the world of Android apps. Here are the highlights from the past week:
Google Password Manager has received a dedicated home in Chrome, along with other upgrades to the service. You can access the feature by visiting chrome://password-manager/passwords once it has been rolled out to your device.
Google Photos has added a new and somewhat bizarre feature that allows it to face-tag people from behind. While it’s not always 100% accurate, it’s impressive nonetheless.
WhatsApp introduced Channels this week, a feature that lets you broadcast messages to your followers without needing to exchange phone numbers. It’s similar to Telegram and Instagram, and you can learn more about it by reading the post at the link.
Google may be skipping a version for Android TV and Wear OS, moving straight from Android TV 13 to 14 and Wear OS 4 from Android 11 to Android 13. This could be to help manufacturers, although the reason hasn’t been confirmed.
In the world of gaming, The Era of Overman is the latest idle RPG to hit the scene. While it offers nothing new in terms of gameplay, it’s a decent time killer with plenty of rewards to be had.
Interval Timer is a new interval timer app that’s getting a surprising number of downloads. It’s free to use and offers a colorful screen to watch your timer go down while you exercise.
QUIRK is a tower defense game with some unique mechanics, featuring a team of hunters, knights, and wizards defending against waves of enemies. It’s a decent little time killer with slightly different mechanics from most tower defense games.
Natural Atlas is a map app designed for the adventurous type. It offers information about 11,000 campgrounds, over 300,000 miles of trails, and over 23,000 boat ramps. The pro version is quite expensive but worth it if you’re an avid hiker/camper.
Finally, Blackpink The Game is a business management simulator where you manage a girl band called Blackpink. It’s a game that boasts quite a bit of customization, making it perfect for dress up game fans.
