Google Messages bug infects certain Android phones causing them to crash
Google Messages is having an issue with the latest beta version of the app which is version 20250610_00_RC02 The bug is affecting the Google Messages app on Pixel handsets and Samsung phones. To see if you have this beta version of Google Messages on your Pixel, go to Settings > Apps > See all xxx apps . Scroll down and tap on Messages. From the App info page, scroll down to the very bottom to see if the version number matches what we wrote in the first sentence of this story. In my case, it is a match with the Google Messages app on my Pixel 6 Pro. If you have the impacted version of Google Messages like I do, you have a bug in Google Messages that prevents the new forward button from working. It is a circle with an arrow turning to the right and contains two arrow points. Pressing on this button is supposed to bring up a list of your contacts so you pick who you'd like to share an image or text with. The problem is that the bug in version 20250610_00_RC02 of Google Messages causes the app to crash immediately if you press the forward button. If you open Android's system Share sheet and tap on Messages in any app, the app will also crash. For example, I opened Chrome, directed the browser to , tapped the three-dot icon in the right corner, and clicked on Share from the menu. When the Share sheet popped up, I pressed on Messages and the app crashed. Google Messages bug leads the app to crash when the new forward button, above the green arrow, is pressed. | Image credit-PhoneArena Until the bug is exterminated the best way to share a link is to manually copy and from the Google Messages app right now, at least until Google sends out an update that exterminates the bug, is to manually copy and paste links you're trying to share with others. As for images, save them on your device and share them by tapping the Gallery icon found inside a thread. Once the forward button is fixed, using it will be the easiest way to share links and images. New Settings page for Google Messages is in the works. | Image credit-9to5Google If you don't want to wait for Google to send a patch to fix this, you can exit the Google Messages beta program by tapping this link and clicking on the "Leave This Program" button in the lower right. Once you do that, go to the PlayStore and tap on this link to install the stable version of Google Messages on your phone. Google is also working on a new look for the Google Messages Settings pages with a Material 3 Expressive redesign. All of the items in the menu are in a container with Material 3 toggles employed. This has not been widely disseminated yet and has not arrived on my Pixel 6 Pro running Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.

FCC Chairman Carr uses his bully pulpit to threaten EchoStar and Boost Mobile
Current FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has been threatening to take away spectrum licenses from EchoStar, the company that now owns Dish Network and Boost Mobile. To put this in perspective, you need to understand that when T-Mobile proposed to buy Sprint, it would have left the U.S. with only three major carriers. The FCC wanted to leave four facilities-based carriers competing in the country. A deal was worked out and Dish Network agreed to buy Sprint's Boost Mobile and build a standalone 5G network. Every couple of years, the FCC requires Dish to cover a certain percentage of the country with 5G signals and Dish has passed each test so far. However, as we get to the last two tests scheduled for 2026 and 2028, the areas that need to be covered are harder to reach and will be more expensive to cover. EchoStar bought Dish on the last day of 2023 but its coffers aren't exactly overflowing with cash at the moment. Current FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's threats against EchoStar are beginning to feel personal. | Image credit-X Even though EchoStar has until 2028 under renegotiated terms to meet the final coverage test, the FCC's Carr has really been handing out some threats from his bully pulpit. In a letter dated May 9th written to EchoStar Chairman Charlie Ergen, Carr threatened to revert back to the original deadlines that the FCC agreed to with Dish. If the FCC were to do that, the final goal would have to be met today, June 14th, which of course EchoStar can't do. In case you're curious, those targets, now scheduled for 2028, would require EchoStar to cover at least 70% of the population within each of its licensed geographic areas for its AWS-4 and 700 MHz licenses, and at least 75% of the population within each of its licensed geographic areas for its H Block and 600 MHz licenses. Carr's letter also pointed out that the reason for the buildout goals was to prevent spectrum warehousing. As you might have gathered by the name, this is when a company builds up a hoard of spectrum that it doesn't plan on using with the goal of selling it to a wireless firm for a profit down the road. EchoStar's Ergen always claimed to have the desire to run a wireless firm when he was Chairman of Dish Network (Dish did float a losing $25.5 billion bid for Sprint in 2013). While T-Mobile spent nearly $8 billion during FCC auction 1001 in 2017 to pick up 1,525 600MHz low-band licenses (which was used to build the carrier's nationwide 5G network), and earned the majority of the news coverage, under the radar Dish was the second biggest spender. Even though it didn't own any wireless businesses at the time, Ergen's company spent $6.2 billion for 482 licenses. This battle between the FCC and EchoStar is beginning to feel personal. In his letter, FCC Chairman Carr left a less than subtle hint that the regulatory agency isn't satisfied with the past buildout goals that were met by EchoStar. In fact, in plain English Carr wrote, "I have asked FCC staff to investigate EchoStar's compliance with its buildout milestones." Carr also writes that he has asked FCC staff to seek public comment about "reconsideration of the 2024 bureau-level extension of the 2019 Commission-level buildout." If this sounds like politics are involved, you might be right. SpaceX has been trying to get the U.S. to force EchoStar to takeaway EchoStar's 2GHz spectrum holdings claiming that EchoStar "barely" uses it. SpaceX has over 25,500MHz of spectrum it can use but it just so happens that EchoStar's airwaves are superior when it comes to providing satellite services to cell phones, a business that SpaceX has high hopes for. SpaceX is, of course, primarily owned by its founder, Elon Musk. Despite the recent breakup with President Donald Trump, a reconciliation seems likely so you can never rule out the possibility that Carr's animosity toward EchoStar is politically motivated as he is a Republican. EchoStar has yet to have the customer success it would like to have even though it has built a standalone 5G network that should soon cover 80% of the population. Last July, Boost Mobile and Boost Infinite combined and with more promotion, Boost Mobile's Infinite Access plan could be a winner. It offers subscribers an annual device upgrade along with the usual features you'd expect from a top-notch wireless plan for $65 per month for a single line.

Thanks to AI, Google Search is losing its ability to drive traffic to websites
There is no overstating how important Google Search is when it comes to drawing traffic to websites. 20% of online traffic visiting top internet sites starts the journey with a Google Search response according to analytics firm Semrush. And for some online destinations, search is even more important. It makes up 63% of visits to Wikipedia worldwide and 58% of the visitors to Tripadvisor come from a search result. Times have changed and the folks at Similarweb say that AI search engines are now replacing 10% of the referrals that traditional search engines have lost. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and ironically, Google's own Gemini are now being used instead of Google Search and other search tools. This is happening on both mobile devices and the desktop. Apple has made it easy for users to create iPhone links to ChatGPT through the Action Button, and widgets. Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini on Android. Google Search's AI Overview is reducing traffic to websites. | Image credit-PhoneArena Google is trying to add some AI features to Google Search with its AI Overview which appears at the top of certain search results. Instead of answering a query with a link to websites that can answer your question, AI Overview provides a generative AI-created summary that answers your question. The downside here is that by responding with a summary instead of a link, this feature also drives down traffic to certain websites. In March, Similarweb data shows that searches with AI Overview ended with a click to a website only 23% of the time. For searches without the overview, the click rate was higher, at 36%. Research firm Ahrefs found that Google Search results showing an AI Overview have more than doubled from March 12 to May 6. Google Search is no longer a tried and true way to get traffic to your site. -Kevin Indig, SEO, consultant, and author of the Growth Memo blog For example, Barron's reports that Business Insider , a business and financial news website, cut its staff by 21% in May citing drops in traffic "outside of its control." Aptly named Business Insider CEO Barbara Pen told employees in a note, "Business models are under pressure, distribution is unstable, and competition for attention is fiercer than ever." Traffic to securities firm declined in May for the first time in two years. Even visits to Netflix declined 23% last month. Chegg, a publicly traded company, offers an app that helps students with their homework. Valued at $15.1 billion in early 2021 with the stock trading at $113.51, the shares are now valued at $144 million and trade at $1.35. Traffic declines are forcing the company to consider a sale of the firm. Chegg CEO Nathan Schultz blames Google's AI Overviews for much of his company's problems. Schultz told investors: "We would not need to review strategic alternatives if Google hadn't launched AI Overviews, retaining traffic that historically had come to Chegg, materially impacting our acquisitions, revenue, and employees." Chegg is suing Google alleging that the company used its dominance in search to force publishers like Chegg to "supply content that Google republishes without permission in AI-generated answers that unfairly compete for the attention of users on the internet." Much of the public has no idea how useful AI is yet. They either see it as a threat to humanity, or at least their jobs, or use it to create messages in the style of Shakespeare as a joke. However, the realization that AI can be a useful tool is slowly gaining speed. Between December and March, the number of ChatGPT's weekly active users soared 67% from 300 million to 500 million. Some of these users pay $20 a month for the service. Google Search is going to look a lot different in a few years-if it survives. This is why Google is working hard on making Gemini a popular AI brand. At risk is the quarterly revenue of $90 billion that Google Search generated during Q1 of 2025, the last financial report released by Alphabet.
