Google’s June Android chatter centers on app automation, widgets, and Android Auto bugs

Google’s May Android Show and I/O push is still reverberating into June, with a new widget-building feature called Create My Widget drawing attention for letting users build widgets without writing code. The pitch is that Android widgets do not have to stay locked to an app developer’s default design, which could make homescreens more customizable. androidpolice.com

Google’s broader Android direction is also leaning harder into app coordination, with the AppFunctions framework positioned as the plumbing for AI assistants to carry out tasks across apps on a user’s behalf. That framing suggests Android is being reworked not just around features users tap, but around systems that let software act for them inside apps. androidauthority.com

On the platform’s day-to-day side, Android Auto has a fresh pain point: some users are seeing Google Maps stuck in day mode at night instead of switching to dark theme. The problem has surfaced across forums and Reddit in the past week, and it appears to affect Android Auto generally rather than any single phone or vehicle brand. 9to5google.com

Separate from Google’s software updates, June 9 also brings a Japan-only Android release for Inazuma Eleven Cross on mobile. Level-5 says the game launches that day for iOS and Android in Japan, with pre-registration already live on Google Play. rpgsite.net

Common questions on Android, surfaced from across the indexed web.

What did I learn from Android's anti-theft feature?

Whether the Theft Protection Lock triggers can depend on several factors, so it doesn't guarantee that it'll lock your phone on time and prevent your sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. After testing the feature with my friend, I couldn't find any honest reason to call this a "Theft protection" feature. All it does is protect the data from thieves and not the hardware, which most of them are after. All it does is lock your phone and reduce the chance of thieves exploiting your data and apps. The feature doesn't discourage thieves from stealing phones. It only gives you peace of m

Could Google have something to say about it?

HONOR isn’t actually the first Android OEM to offer this feature. Realme debuted a similar Personal Information Protection feature back in 2020, sending blank data when an app requested certain permissions. Weirdly enough, it looks like realme may have pulled this feature to keep Google happy.

I wish Galaxy phones had this new privacy feature, but Google might nix it
What is Project Solara?

Microsoft has had a few goes at pulling attention away from Apple, Google, and Samsung with phones and other mobile devices in the past. Unfortunately, whether it’s through the acquisition of Nokia, the creation of Windows Phone, or the release of devices like the Microsoft Surface Duo, it has never quite succeeded. Project Solara isn’t a smartphone operating system, although Microsoft’s platform is based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but an app-less, AI agent-first platform made for both mobile and stationary devices. It’s also, at this stage at least, not aimed at consumers. Microso
