Your Google Pixel Buds are losing a feature this week, although Google is making it sound like you wanted this to happen. In a Google Assistant support post, Google announced that Google Assistant spoken notifications through the Pixel Buds will no longer happen when... #Google #GoogleAssistant
On the maps app, they recently removed the little media player controls that showed up at the bottom when something, anything, was playing. Just removed it for seemingly no reason.
It was the only maps app that would do that. Waze has to install an applet for each media player app you want to control, and guess what, unless it’s Spotify and a handful of other popular apps, you’re out of luck. No generic media control interface. It’s so backwards! Just take whatever’s playing and give me forward, back, and pause!
Google maps just removed one of their tabs on the bottom where it was one tap to start your commute to work if you were at home or to home if you were at work.
Used it twice a day every day and then all of a sudden it disappeared. Now i have to search for my home or my work and press it, then hit start navigating. It’s only an extra button press but when you do it every day and there was a better way before it gets super annoying fast.
Yeah. I think the bottom line is that if you’re still using Google Maps instead of Android Auto, you’re bad and should feel bad. Personally, I hate every car newer than mine because of similar practices in what seems like the entire auto industry
Same feel as my fitbit sense 2. Only media control is for YouTube music. My android wear had generic media controls for any app not supported. I don’t want YouTube music and saying it’s the only app supported just means I won’t buy another Fitbit or Google branded device.
I feel that. I got a Garmin watch that thankfully has a generic media control. Going the way things are going, maybe its days are numbered and it’ll be removed without warning, despite not being Google
