Android Pie is rolling out for the notched Motorola One

By

Motorola’s midrange notched Motorola One and Motorola One Power phones are starting to get Android 9.0 Pie updates, according to Android Police.

The Motorola One launched in Europe, Latin America, and Asia back in October, and it just went on sale in the United States earlier this month for $399. It features a 5.9-inch HD display with a distinctly iPhone X-style notch (although there’s no Face ID-esque unlocking), paired with a Snapdragon 625 processor. The One Power is a little bigger and more powerful, with a larger battery, 6.2-inch screen, and Snapdragon 636 chipset, but it’s exclusive to India.

Motorola had actually promised the 9.0 Pie update at IFA when it announced the two devices, so this isn’t entirely unexpected, but it’s nice to see that the company has been relatively swift in making sure the phones are updated. Both phones are also part of Google’s Android One program, which promises at least two OS updates. So if all goes well, the devices should be getting an Android Q update next year, too.

How to install Fortnite on Android

By
Epic Games launched its battle royale hit Fortnite on Android devices last week with a big catch: it was exclusive to Samsung-made phones for a few days as a way to help market the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

If you’re itching to dive off the battle bus on mobile, you might have to hold on just a little while longer: there appears to be a waiting list, just like there was when the game launched on iOS. There’s also a bit of trickiness involving exactly how you get the app because Epic announced it would be distributing the Android version of Fortnite on its own terms . Last week, the app was distributed through Samsung’s app store, and Epic is using its own website and a Fortnite Installer program to distribute the game more widely on all compatible Android devices. (Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said this is basically to avoid paying Google...

Apple’s Siri Shortcuts app now available for iOS 12

By
Apple is making Siri a lot more powerful in both iOS 12 and watchOS 5. Siri’s new Shortcuts feature is now available to download for iOS 12 users, and it allows iPhone and Apple Watch users to use Siri to step through multistep routines. Shortcuts replaces the previous Workflow app that Apple acquired last year, and is designed to allow you to create custom commands in Siri that launch apps or combine a number of actions in a similar way to IFTTT. You can do things like tell Siri you’re “watching a movie” and the digital assistant will switch your phone to do not disturb. A number of app developers are also launching their own custom Siri shortcuts with iOS 12, which will help the assistant display more information when you create a custom phrase. Citymapper is one of the first big apps with Siri shortcuts support, allowing you to create a shortcut to ask “when’s my next train” and get relevant updates and even platform information. You can download Siri Shortcuts from the App Sto...
