Facebook has been collecting call records and SMS data from Android devices for years. Several Twitter users have reported finding months or years of call history data in their downloadable Facebook data file. A number of Facebook users have been spooked by the recent Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal, prompting them to download all the data that Facebook stores on their account. The results have been alarming for some.

How can the iPhone and iPad operating system keep going so wrong?

A recent study showed that Android enjoys a higher degree of loyalty from its user base than iOS does from those who use it.

Google has released the first developer preview of Android P, bringing support for notched displays and indoor location services.

You've probably heard of Apple's Taptic Engine before. It's the vibration motor that first appeared on the iPhone 6S, eventually running out the headphone jack in the iPhone 7 and consequent models. It's also what allowed Apple to replicate the clicking button of the old days on newer iPhones with nothing more than a firm buzz under a pressure-sensitive portion of the glass. Subtle as it may be, the Taptic Engine has made a huge difference in the overall experience of using an iPhone.

By using a standardized, secure version of Google's Android in its new smartphones, the Nokia brand seeks to rise from the ashes.

Imagining the iPhone's troubles. You know. You know. The very serious image problem. With the new iPhone. That one. Because of the very serious nature of this very serious problem, the Macalope would like you to refrain from surreptitiously making fart noises. For, like, at least thirty or forty seconds. Show you’re really giving this all the stone-faced seriousness it deserves.

Google is working on an overhaul of its Android mobile software for a new generation of smartphones mimicking Apple Inc.’s controversial new "notch" at the top of the iPhone X, according to people familiar with the situation.

Did Google score a complete victory against Android malware last year? No. Did it win? Yes.

I still remember when we used to bicker over iPhone vs Symbian, before Android took over the second part of that argument. I also remember when Xenon vs LED flash was the most controversial discussion in the smartphone world for several years - some of you may have been toddlers when that started. And I remember when apps weren't a thing, when 3G was the hottest novelty, when we thanked our lucky stars because companies stopped using massive proprietary charging and earphone ports, and when a smartphone with a 2.8" display (Nokia N95 8GB) counted as monstrous.

Facebook’s Android app negatively impacts performance and battery life, even when it’s only running in the background, users find. Facebook does not have the greatest track record with its Android app. Users have long complained about performance issues and it sucking up battery and last year Facebook’s chief product officer, Chris Cox, took the unusual step of making his staff ditch their iPhones and move to Android until they sorted out the issues.

A lot of Android virus and malware stories are hooey. Skygofree is a prime example.

Well, as good as Android tablets could be. Google's commitment to Android on tablets wasn't strong even then, and now the Pixel C is gone from the Google Store—the listing page redirects you to the Pixelbook. A moment of silence, please.
