Welcome to the 495th edition of Android Apps Weekly. Here are the big headlines from the last week:

  • Google’s Results About You tool received a boost in functionality here recently. The service now alerts you if you it detects new personally identifiable information in Google Search results. It then gives you the tools you need to get rid of it. Click the link to learn more, but just about everybody should check it out.
  • YouTube Shorts got a few new features this week. Some of them even came from TikTok and Instagram Reels. The features include a new Collab feature similar to TikTok’s Stitch feature, new tools to convert landscape content into portrait-oriented content, and more. Hit the link to learn more about the changes.
  • Google may remove the Chrome from Chrome OS soon. Google has spent a couple of years trying to decouple Google Chrome from Chrome OS already. Some references in the code suggest that folks will be able to enable a standalone browser starting with Chrome OS 116.
  • Fitbit is redesigning its app. The company boasts refreshed visuals, simpler navigation, new features, and better tracking for achievements and badges. The beta rolled out on August 1st, so these changes should come to everyone in the relatively near future.
  • A leaked Google memo shows that it’s still committed to Google Assistant. It’s not a question a ton of people have asked, but ChatGPT and Bard kind of do what Assistant does. Google says they’re adding AI smarts to Assistant to make it even better than before. To be perfectly honest, this is the path I thought Google was going to take instead of Bard, so it’s nice to see they’re getting around to it eventually. You can read the leaked memo at the link.
