18	5:40	This episode of All About Android is brought to you by LastPass. Companies face cybersecurity threats no matter where employees are working. Whether they’re connecting from an office or from home, the risks of cyberattacks (such as data loss and data breaches) are something companies need to plan for and work to mitigate. A solid cybersecurity strategy is arguably more important while employees are working from home, given that more factors – from the Wi-Fi network to shared devices – may be outside the direct control of IT. That’s why LastPass is so crucial to protecting your business. IT and security leaders can take back control of password security. They’ll have the control they need from a central dashboard.	lastpass.com/twit		0:05:00

43	JH	A tech question regarding Android Messages. Default is now RCS. I want to set the default as SMS, as we often don't have data up here and RCS won't send without data. SMS will send with a barely existing signal, as long as the wind blows the right way. Search is coming up with all sorts of things, not what I'm looking for. I have a Pixel 4a all updated. I'm glad to surrender my data to Google for the coherent and cohesive structure. If I can't get SMS through Google Messages, recommendations for a SMS app? Thanks, Herb	https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/08/14/two-quick-taps-in-google-messages-can-reroute-rcs-chat-messages-as-sms/	- Messages by Google does what you need. A few ways to do what you are talking about. 1. Deactivate RCS altogether. Go into settings, Cht features, then deactivate "Enable chat features" 2. Android Police has an article on a solution... If a chat message is stuck in send, tap the message to pull up a menu. Then select "Send as text (SMS/MMS) instead

45	RR	With the end of unlimited uploads to google coming up next year I have been thinking of a way to find a replacement for google photos. I usually download all my pictures to my external hardrive 2 backups one connected to my computer the other disconnected. Then I upload the photos via the google photos desktop software. I do this so I keep an original copy of all my photos. I also use Plex for my Movie/Music collection as you guys do. So upon my research to find a new solution for google photos I didn't realize plex has an equivalent photos feature. So I was hoping you could let the listeners to the podcast know about this because I know it will be helpful to alot of people in this similar situation. Also I forgot to mention it's a plex pass feature only. Julio

48	JH	On episode 500, you talked about the “green bubble” effect. So I wanted to provide you some feedback from another country (I’m French). Here, market share for iOS is 19.4% and Android 80.6% (source: Kantar World Panel - q3 2020) so Android is the clear leader in France. I’m an app developer and work with many different kinds of people (designers, engineers, sales agents, ...) and even if most of them use Apple devices, I never noticed or heard about ostracisation of “green bubble” people here. I think the main reason is iMessage is not the holy grail of message apps in my country, the go to app for messaging in France is Whatsapp. Everyone is using it and group messages work flawlessly with Whatsapp, whatever the OS you’re using (the only exception is teens. they mostly use Discord these days) and it works ok on older or cheap devices too, as a majority of users don’t use a flagship phone.
