After the Android 15 update, many Pixel 8 Pro users noticed that the swipe-back gesture wasn’t working right. This gesture, where you swipe from the edge of the screen to go back, failed especially when swiping from the right side.

This problem made the phone hard to use for some people. The update brought new features, but this bug was a big headache. Until now, there hasn’t been a way to fix it.

Good news is on the way though. Google has promised a fix in one of their next updates. They didn’t say exactly which update or when it will come out, but it’s likely to be in the February security patch. These patches usually fix small issues like this one.

The Pixel 8 Pro gets these updates every month, so owners should see their swipe-back gesture working again soon. Keep an eye out for that update to make your phone easier to use again.

In October last year, Google made the Gemini app on mobile devices much simpler. They’ve now updated the Android version even more with the overlay redesign.

Before and After Design

The new Android homepage has changed the “Ask Gemini” area. The shortcuts for voice and camera are gone from the pill shape. Instead, the ‘plus’ menu now includes options like Camera, Gallery, Files, and Drive. Only Gemini Advanced subscribers get the last two options.

The app now looks cleaner without the line that used to be above the text bar.

Gemini Homepage Redesign

The text field is slightly smaller, and the Gemini Live button is now part of the main box, not separate. This look is similar to the updated web version from December. The old design had a fancy animation for voice input, but it’s now just a blue circle around the microphone, which is now filled in.

These changes are part of the overlay redesign, which isn’t available everywhere yet. Google is likely to update the iPhone version soon to match.

Speaking of iPhones, Google just updated their app on Monday (version 1.2025.0220100) with:

• Better keyboard support
• Improved dark mode
• Bug fixes

Roku users are facing a significant hiccup with their YouTube TV experience, particularly when it comes to fast-forwarding through recorded content. Over the past few weeks, a growing number of subscribers have encountered an issue where attempting to skip ahead in their DVR recordings results in the playback freezing entirely.

This glitch has dampened the appeal of YouTube TV’s recording feature, a highlight for many subscribers who rely on the ability to control their viewing experience. The issue seems to be exclusive to Roku devices, with no similar reports from those using Google TV or other platforms.

YouTube TV has acknowledged the problem and is actively investigating. While waiting for an official fix, some users have shared makeshift solutions. One popular workaround involves fast-forwarding in small increments; however, this method has its limits and can only prevent freezing for a few steps before the issue reappears. Another suggestion involves switching the video quality settings, which sometimes restarts the playback.

These temporary fixes are far from ideal, leaving many hopeful for a prompt and permanent solution from Google to restore the smooth functionality of their service on Roku devices.
