17	JH	This episode of All About Android is brought to you by DeleteMe. Have you ever searched for your name online and didn’t like how much of your personal information was available? Did it make you feel exposed or unsafe? Since 2010, DeleteMe has been on a mission to empower individuals and organizations by allowing them to reclaim their privacy and help them remove personal data from online sources. Their team is driven by a passion for privacy and a commitment to making it simple for customers to use. DeleteMe helps reduce risk from identity theft, credit card fraud, robocalls, spam, cybersecurity threats, harassment, and unwanted communications overall. DeleteMe is the most trusted privacy solution available, helping thousands of customers remove their personal information online: Did you know the average person has more than 2,000 pieces of data about them online that DeleteMe can find and remove? Think about how much time that saves you! DeleteMe has removed more than 50 million pieces of data for their customers. One customer said, “I signed up and they took it from there! Awesome service! Already seeing results!” [Host: Provide PE (if applicable). Compromised info, hacking, identity theft, spam/robocalls? How many sites did they remove data from/how much exposed Personal Identifiable Information did they find?] Here’s how it works: First, sign up and submit some basic personal information for removal from search engines by going to joindeleteme.com/twit. DeleteMe experts will find and remove your personal information from more than 580 Data Brokers, helping reduce your online footprint and keeping you and your family safe. Once the removal process starts, you will receive a detailed DeleteMe report within 7 days. And it doesn't stop there! DeleteMe will continue to scan and remove your personal information every 3 months. And with automated removal opt-out monitoring, they will ensure records don’t get repopulated after being removed. This includes names, addresses, photos, emails, relatives, phone numbers, social media, property value, and more! As the data broker industry expands, contracts, and morphs, they continue to add new sites and features to ensure their service is both simple to use and effective in removing personally identifiable information. And since privacy exposures and incidents affect individuals differently, their Privacy Advisors ensure that all of their customers have the support they need, when they need it. Call to Action (verbatim - URL 2 times) Protect yourself and reclaim your privacy by going to joindeleteme.com/twit and using code TWIT. That’s joindeleteme.com/twit and code TWIT for 20% off.

23	MR	@MishaalRahman Google is finally rolling out the "app streaming" feature they first announced at CES 2022! This feature uses new APIs in Android 13 to let you stream and control your Android apps from your Chromebook! This won't be a Pixel-exclusive feature, either!	https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1643400229863997441
24		@MishaalRahman I'm writing this tweet from a Chromebook that has Twitter for Android streamed to it from a Pixel 6 Pro running Android 13!	https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1643481503714689024
25		@MishaalRahman Although Google Play currently lets you install Cross-Device Services onto any Android 13 device, the Android-to-Chromebook app streaming feature will NOT work for you unless you the app was already preinstalled in the OS by the OEM.	https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1643638653736951808

45	JH	I have a question about security updates. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ that I got about 4 years ago. I recently found out that it will no longer receive Android security updates. I am still happy with the phone. It still makes phone calls and texts, the pictures are of acceptable quality, it runs all my apps, and the screen still looks great. Do I need to get a new phone? What are my risks if I keep using it? Thanks! Love the show! Subscriber since Episode 0 and Club TWiT member, Ian Winkler

47	RR	I've had the Pixel Watch since launch. I came from a Garmin, and there are definitely things I miss/preferred on my Garmin. However, I committed 100% to the Pixel Watch and kept myself from going back and forth. I could go on with a 6 month review of the PW, but this is about my recent vacation. The family went to NYC for spring break. First time taking the kids (yes Ron, we took them to Carvel) and first time with the PW. Obviously, there are the usual useful features of track steps (18 - 25K a day), but the best feature was using google maps on the PW. I could start the walking directions on my phone, and then click the little map icon on the watch. The screen would show my next next direction and a distance to a turn or to the location. When I was 100 ft away from my turn, I would get a little vibrate so I didn't have to stare at my watch and even better, didn't have to pull my phone out every few minutes to make sure we were still going the right direction. The PW isn't perfect and it definitely needs better app support (hanging on hoping Pocket Casts finally makes a watch app), but I have hope that it will continue to get better. From back home in Chicago, Jason

50	JH	Episode 623 you talked about the short message dichotomy between Apple and Android. I've been on Android since 2011(?), my wife has been Apple since shortly afterwards. I've long embraced the green-bubble life. The advent of RCS has been long awaited, but still too many of my messages are not in RCS. Anyway, yesterday I had the first of many conversations with my daughter (also 12 yrs) of why she can't message her friends through iMessage. She doesn't understand how come iCloud doesn't work on her Fire Tab, how come she can't message them via Meta's Facebook Messenger Kids. The conversation ended in tears and stomping up the stairs in to her bedroom. I can't wait for the next round, and ready your self for having that parenting conversation with your next of kin. All for them to organize playing Roblox, where they all chat anyway. Hopefully you get some April Showers, to start our summer. Marc From Albany NY
