5 Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week – Android Apps Weekly

Welcome to the 411th edition of Android Apps Weekly. Here are the headlines from the last week:

• Pixel owners had a fun surprise this last week after their phones told them about a storm in the Philippines. It’s funny because most people who received the alert don’t live anywhere close to the Philippines. The alert took people to a Google Search to learn more information. We hope everyone in the Philippines is okay.
• YouTube TV is having a rare setback this week with its Disney channels. The agreement between the two media giants ends on December 17th and a new agreement hasn’t been signed yet. Thus, YouTube TV customers are going to lose Disney channels on that day. There is a silver lining. YouTube TV intends to lower prices by $15 if a new deal isn’t reached.
• The UK joined the list of countries that don’t like how Google and Apple are doing things. The Competition Markets Authority has criticized both companies for the overwhelming control of both company’s app stores. Additionally, the CMA says both companies need to make it easier to switch platforms without trouble. You can hit the link to learn more.
• WhatsApp now lets you preview voice notes before sending them. We don’t know why this wasn’t a feature previously but at least it’s there now. There isn’t much else to it, but the company did announce it on social media. It should come in a future update sometime soon.
• There is allegedly a Google Pixel Watch and some of its alleged watch faces leaked this week. The leak shows ten total watch faces tucked away in an APK. There is also evidence to support that there is direct Fitbit support. We don’t know much about it, except that these watch faces will see the light of day one way or another.
