Android 13 is here for Google’s Pixel devices, and if you’re wielding a compatible model, you can grab the software now by requesting the over-the-air update in the settings panel. The software update is available for the Pixel 4 and up, including the latest Pixel 6a release. Note that this is a staggered rollout, so…

Pixel owners who haven’t upgraded to Android 13 yet, beware: it seems that several people aren’t able to use wireless charging after installing the latest OS, which released earlier this week (via 9to5Google). There have been several posts on Reddit about the issue from people using the Pixel 4, 4 XL, 6, and 6 Pro using a variety of wireless chargers, including Google’s first-party Pixel Stands. For Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners, this could be an even bigger problem — they’re not allowed to roll back to Android 12 after updating to Android 13.
According to some users’ reports, the phones do seem to recognize that they’re on a wireless charger, with one user even saying that their 4 XL shows the charging battery icon. However, the batteries…

10 tricks for more efficient Android messaging
No matter what type of Android phone you carry or how you usually use it, one thing is a near-universal constant:
You’re gonna spend a ton of time sending and reading messages.
The messages may be from clients, colleagues, or your cousin Crissy from Cleveland (damn it, Crissy!). But regardless of who sends ’em or what they’re about, they’re all popping up on your phone and cluttering your weary brainspace.
My fellow Android adorer, I’m here to tell you there’s a better way.
Google’s Android Messages app has gotten surprisingly good over the years. That’s no big secret. If you’re only relying on what you see on the surface within Android Messages, though, you’re missing out on some of its most powerful and underappreciated efficiency-enhancing options.

Copycat iOS Launcher on Android Surpasses 50 Million Downloads
The app is not new to the Google Play Store and has been recreating the iOS experience on Android for the last three years. Starting with iOS 13 and for every subsequent major iOS release, the app has been updated to reflect changes made to iOS.
The copycat iOS launcher, named “Launcher iOS 16,” recreates the iOS Home Screen, dock, Force Touch menus on apps, “jiggle mode,” App Library, iOS-styled widgets, and more. The launcher also replaces app icons with iOS icons, such as Messages, Notes, Camera, and even the Play Store has Apple’s App Store icon.
In standard Android nature, the launcher provides users with customization features not even offered to iPhone users, such as being able to customize the categorization of apps in App Library, tweak home screen animations, easily rename apps, and more.
The app, clearly well known in the Android community, was given additional exposure on Twitter earlier this week. The largest change to iOS 16, the redesigned Lock Screen, made headlining news following Apple’s WWDC in June. The widespread coverage of the new Lock Screen may have prompted additional downloads for the launcher from users eyeing to try out Apple’s latest design. Unfortunately, this launcher does not sport the iOS 16 Lock Screen, at least not yet.
For those unfamiliar with Android launchers, they’re programs that run on the device’s home screen with their own design, personalization features, and options other than those offered by the device’s original maker. As a matter of fact, casually browsing the Google Play Store, dozens of launchers promise to recreate the iOS experience on Android, with the vast majority having over one million downloads each.

It’s happened to all of us. You recorded a video, but your phone didn’t detect that it was turned sideways. Now the video is in portrait instead of landscape as you intended. Don’t worry, you can rotate it.
