  • Google may be adding a new feature to Chrome for Android.
  • The feature will allow users to quickly delete 15 minutes of browser data.
  • It’s unclear when the feature would arrive.

It’s not uncommon to forget to open up an Incognito window when you’re browsing, especially when on your phone. When that happens, however, you have to go through the hassle of going into your history and either deleting things individually or picking from a selection of time increments — that starts at an hour — to get rid of that data. But Google could soon give you an easier option.

As discovered by Chrome Story, there appears to be a new flag in Chrome for Android that suggests Google is working on a new feature. The new feature is a “quick delete” option that would allow Android users to quickly erase 15 minutes of browser data.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs Galaxy S20 Ultra: Should you upgrade? https://ift.tt/a314Kzm

Samsung has just launched the Galaxy S23 Ultra, marking a new entry in the best and most powerful Samsung phones you can buy. The S23 Ultra represents the peak of the company’s ambitions, with more cutting-edge hardware than most will know what to do with.

  • Data was found in Android’s open-source operating system project repository that suggests Android is adding a “DeviceAsWebcam” service.
  • The feature would turn an Android phone into a USB webcam without the need for an app.
  • This would be the first time Android supported using a phone as a UVC device.

It’s no secret that the webcams that come installed on computers aren’t great. That’s why people often choose to use an external webcam. A lot of people have even started using their phones as webcams, but that requires installing third-party apps. Now it appears that Google could be working on a way to turn your Android phone into a plug-and-play USB webcam.

Frequent Android analyst Mishaal Rahman went on Twitter today to reveal that Google could add support for turning your Android phone into a USB webcam. Discovered in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository, Rahman found data that says Android is adding a “DeviceAsWebcam” service.
