Android Messages for Web gets a Material Theme refresh as well

The post Android Messages for Web gets a Material Theme refresh as well appeared first on BardTech.

Google has been updating a lot of their apps with the new Material Theme refresh recently. Android Messages received the redesign on the 8th of August, then it was removed, and then it came back again . What’s more interesting with the new refresh is that it also includes a dark theme. Now, Google has decided to roll out the Material Theme refresh to the web version, too, which was launched not too long ago .

Activating the new interface on the web version requires updating the app on your phone first. You can install the update straight from the Play Store. But, as you may already know, Google loves staged rolled, so it may not be available for you. In that case, just download the APK file from APKMirror and install it manually.


As you can see from the screenshots above, it’s not a huge difference. Just some minor font and color tweaks along with a new “Start chat” button. Like the Android version of the application, Android Messages for Web also comes with a dark theme. I was unable to check the old dark theme design, but here’s the new one below. There’s no doubt that it looks much better.

Dark Theme

It looks like Google has finally decided to give all their products a consistent look. It took a while but better late than never. What do you think of Android Message’s new look on mobile and the web? Do you use the dark theme or light theme?

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

Realme U1 with MediaTek Helio P70 launched in India for ₹11,999

Realme is an emerging smartphone brand in India, with a focus on budget and early mid-range segments. Realme started off as an online-only sub-brand of OPPO, but then later on, became its own separate brand . Realme devices ar seen to undercut the competition on their price value, and hence, coming up as viable alternatives despite the infancy of the brand. To keep up the pressure, Realme has now launched the Realme U1, the first smartphone with MediaTek’s Helio P70 SoC , in India. Realme U1 is the first smartphone in the company’s U series, which in-turn is the lineup that will be focused on photography. The rest of the company’s lineup includes the C series, the numbered series and the Pro series. The Realme U1 is being touted as “India’s Selfie Pro”, mainly because of its front camera — a single 25MP Sony IMX576 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and 1.8-micron pixels. There’s software features like an AI Beauty+ mode that is optimized for Indian complexions, a Smarter Groupie featur...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves.
