Some Google Messages users are seeing an odd bug where notifications are missing the inline “Reply” action on Android. Those impacted with this issue only have the ability to “Mark as read.” “Reply” and “Remind 1 hr” are missing. As such, they have to tap the notification (and open Messages) to send replies.

That’s in stark contrast to the former lineup, which had to be set up… Source link

Google announced a new Chrome 86 feature that included the news that Google’s “automated web crawling service” can subscribe to push notifications. The reason for doing that is to identify abusive push notifications for the purpose of blocking them in Chrome. Is Googlebot Subscribing to Push Notifications? It’s unclear if the phrase “automated web crawling service” is a reference to Googlebot or some other crawler. The Chrome announcement refers to it as an automated Chrome instance… Source link
