Android in February
Despite February having only 28 days this year, there was news for a whole month. Partly thanks to the Mobile World Congress, of which you can find all messages here, because that is too much to mention. Think of the various previews, but also the new screen techniques that are being developed by Samsung and of course the Motorola Rizr with a roll-up screen.
But there was more news around Android and other useful topics. Nokia was there with the new logo, Xiaomi presented its new Xiaomi 13 series and Nokia the G22 and C32, of which you can read our preview here. At the beginning of this month, OnePlus introduced the new OnePlus 11, and also the new OnePlus Pad, for example. Google is releasing the Magic Eraser in the Google Photos app for more devices. Samsung announced that it scores very well with the Galaxy S23 series, which was announced at the beginning of February (preview).
Because of all the many news, we would almost forget that Google also released Android 14. The new update brings these new features. It was also announced that Netflix users who want to share their account may have to pay 6.00 euros per month. Telecom provider Youfone introduces 5G, free for both new and existing customers. ING has confirmed the news that it is working on Google Pay integration. In Instagram you will now find the new note function.

Best apps
We have made a selection below with the best applications of February 2023, in no particular order.
Google Tasks
Google’s tasks app has been given a fresh coat of paint. It’s about Google Tasks. The Material You design is used for this. In Google’s tasks app you can create different lists of tasks, and you can also find the reminders from your calendar and the Google Assistant here. The application makes it possible to choose whether you go for the dark or light theme, or whether it should be adjusted automatically.
Income tax return
The ‘Income Tax Return’ application from the Tax and Customs Administration will come in handy again from now on. With the application you can do your tax return. Conveniently, the Tax and Customs Administration has already filled in most of the information. If these are correct and you do not need to add anything, you can immediately submit your tax return for the year 2022 via the app.
Messaging service WhatsApp has rolled out a major Status update that offers you new functions. What is new is that you can share a Status update with spoken text, or a voice message. You can also leave a comment faster. This does not only have to be with text, but you can also respond with an emoji. Other improvements have also been made to the app regarding the Status.
Telegram
Another messaging app that has been updated with an update is Telegram. In Telegram 9.4, users are given the option to use the profile picture maker, where you can use any sticker or animated emoji to create a profile picture for your profile, group or channel. There are also new options for network use and more settings have been added.
Bonus Tip: DroidApp App
