Medial
Google is reportedly working on a new feature called "app quarantine" to protect Android users from malware. This feature would work similarly to disabling or suspending an app and would be available only for services like Play Protect that are part of the Google Play Store. If an app is quarantined, it will still be visible on the home screen and in settings, but its problematic functions will be hidden. The release of this feature is uncertain, as it was initially revealed in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1 but has since been removed.

Microsoft has announced that it is ending support for running Android apps on Windows 11. The Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) feature, which allowed users to access mobile applications on their PCs, will no longer be available from March 5, 2025. While existing Android apps will still work, users will no longer be able to install new apps from the Microsoft Store. This decision is likely due to the low usage rates of Android apps on Windows 11. It remains unclear what the future holds for Android integration within the Windows ecosystem.

Truecaller, the popular caller ID app, has released an update for Android users that uses AI to block all calls that don't come from approved contacts or that the AI determines might be spam. This update, known as "Max," is only available for Android as Apple does not allow similar services on iOS.
