A quick update on the infamous EU “ChatControl” 🇪🇺 What a turn of events in EU tech policy: from potential mandatory mass scanning of data (“ChatControl”) → to even voluntary scans losing their legal basis (for now). Just months ago, fears were growing around mandatory scanning of private communications in the EU (incl. pictures and videos). Now, talks between the EU Council (Member States) and the European Parliament have collapsed - and the result is a complete reversal. As of April 3, even voluntary scanning of data by platforms loses its legal basis under EU privacy (ePrivacy & GDPR) rules, as the temporary exemption was not extended. A striking example of how fast EU tech policy can turn - and a big win for European privacy advocates.

📣Important clarifications on the new advanced flow for sideloading on Android! 1) It is a one-time process. Once you go through it, you can choose to allow installing unregistered apps indefinitely. 2) ADB installs are not affected. The waiting period does not apply to app installs via ADB. 3) It's my understanding that you don't have to keep developer options enabled after you enable the advanced flow. Once you make the change on your device, it's enabled. If you turn off developer options, then to turn off the advanced flow, you would first have to turn developer options back on.

The incredible audio installation at the Yoyaku record store in Paris, designed by H.A.N.D.

Android has always driven innovation in the industry through its unique flexibility and openness. At this important moment, we continue to be at the forefront of how developers distribute their apps and games on billions of devices globally. Today we are announcing big changes: – Leading the way in store choice: A registered app store program that makes installation of participating app stores easier with a streamlined flow – A new business model for Google Play with lower prices for developers: The ability to use your own billing alongside Google Play Billing, and lower service fees. These changes will make for a stronger Android ecosystem with more choice for users and even more successful developers who can further invest in higher quality experiences on mobile and beyond. The above will be rolling out in phases, subject to local laws and processes. We are also excited to announce that we’ve resolved all our disputes with Epic Games globally! Details on all of this can be found at our blog post. android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/a-new-…

Since Twitch doesn't allow combined chats, I made a widget that scrambles messages across the screen instead. It's inspired by the Niconico bullet style chat. Oh, and VTubers might love this part — you can even separate the layers and sandwich yourself between the messages.

T3 Chat now has profiles! I've wanted this feature for so damn long. I have lots of different use cases for T3 Chat. Being totally honest, I don't want you guys all seeing my "personal" ones. FINALLY I HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM. You can customize your profiles for different use cases. Tell the work one what tech you use. Tell the personal one a bit about yourself. I'm honestly surprised no other chat apps have built this yet, I've been loving it. This is only DAY ONE OF LAUNCH WEEK! Lots more fun stuff coming soon :)
