While new update means new features, Android users might not be happy about Google Android P dropping the support for older applications. Read on for more details!

Google Android P to stop supporting older apps after update!

According to the media, many developers have found a new class in the latest Google Android P Preview. With a minimum API version, the new operating system pops up a warning message occasionally: ” This app was built for an older version of Android and may not work properly. Try checking for updates, or contact the developer.” For now, Google Android P has the current minimum API of 17, which is the Jelly Bean 4.2.

Previously, Google has shown their commitment to bringing the Play Store application up to date. The US company did this by setting a minimum API support requirements for newly update apps. As a result, all the recent submitted applications can run on the latest Android operating system version. However, the already available one that fails the upgrade might drop right after.

The same situation had happened before to iPhone users. Apple usually cleaned their App Store from old apps. If you were trying to start the app from your iPhone iCloud backup, there is a high chance that you are going to receive a pop-up warning message. On the other hand, Google Android P seems to be focusing mainly on the apps. Based on the latest review, the new operating system can disable apps from using your phones’ microphone in the background. Notably, this new feature arises from reports of social media apps like Facebook or WhatsApp using your smartphone’s microphone to listen to your conversations. Additionally, we can expect Google Android P to arrive with new look and shortcut. In details, the usual notification drawer is going have rounded corners. As a result, you now can reply to messages directly from here. Finally, the messaging apps also equip “Smart Replies”, images and stickers in the notification box.

Google Android P release date

According to our source, the Google Android P is going to launch officially in August. For now, the Google Android P Developer Preview 1 is available for Google Pixel and Pixel 2 handsets. What is your thought on this new OS? Leave a comment to let us know!

Travelling alone can seem threatening to your comfort at home. However, your worries and more can be outweighed by the innumerable benefits. Here, we give you the top tips on how to travel alone successfully right below!

1. Know your strengths

The first thing that you should check in the list is to learn about yourself. Knowing your strengths and weakness would help you to be well-prepared and handle situations. If you are a sociable person who wants to be in the middle of everything, you should head somewhere that people speak your language.

If you’re more of an introvert, the language barrier is not the problem and vibrant cities are perfect for people sightseeing. This happens the same to other aspects of your checklist, from food to weather. Besides, the more you understand about yourself, the more you know the suitable destinations that ensure your maximum experience.

2. Sleep around

As a solo traveller, you’ll have tons of options to choose from. In details, one of them is a homestay or room rentals in an apartment. Besides, this option gives you an automatic connection with residents. During the staying time, you can be offered town trips or local tips from the landlord. Meanwhile, hostels are ready-made for solo travellers too. However, it depends on you whether you would like to spend more time with other tourists or with locals.

3. Keep interact

On the other hand, being alone would not be much frightening as long as you can enjoy your pure freedom. If you feel social, you can try to make new friends, and how off your free-agent status is. You can offer to take a family’s photo at a big sight or by sitting near a chatty gang at a bar. In fact, people would love to know you’re making an effort and trying your best to interact, even when you’re a little rusty.

4. Learn some local language

If your plan to go somewhere not speaking your language, just make an effort to learn theirs. Only a few words or phrases to introduce yourself, start a basic conversation, order a beer and counting would help. Further, you need to learn how to say “no, thank you” in the local language as well as non-verbal gestures for “no”. This helps you to avoid some awkward situations and sometimes dangerous cases.

5. Be connected

Wherever you go, have your smartphones that are always-on in your pocket. Besides, you can use social networks to make connections when travelling. Moreover, you can offer short trips to local friends by using GPS while update news about weathers or local notice. Further, your smartphone should include local help numbers like police or emergency even you might never use them.

Top five tips to travel alone

That brings to an end of our top five tips to travel alone. It is not everything you need; however, it helps you to avoid weird situations when there is no help. Are you ready to make the most of your first solo trips? Drop a comment to let us know your ideas and stay tuned for more updates!
