Game Launcher update changes how notifications and DeX behave

-

Samsung's Game Launcher has received a new update, pushing the app to version 4.2.01.9. It brings a handful of changes that should improve the user experience when gaming on your smartphone as well as through Samsung DeX.

Following this new update, users can change the way game-related notifications behave. If you're annoyed by game-related notifications that arrive in your notifications bar when you don't play mobile games, you can now set these notifications to be shown only through the Game Launcher whenever it's open. Or on the contrary, if you're annoyed by gaming notifications received when you do play mobile games, you can set them to appear only in the notification panel when you don't have the Game Launcher open.

To change this setting, open the drawer inside the Game Launcher, access Game Notifications » More » Manage game notifications.

The full-screen display setting options in Samsung DeX have also changed. Now, to play your mobile games in full screen within the DeX environment, you'll have to open Settings, go to Samsung DeX » Labs » Force apps to resize.

Additionally, non-gaming apps newly added to the Game Launcher no longer benefit from Game Booster features after this update. And finally, the Game Launcher home screen now shows additional gaming-related info each time you launch the app, ranging from popular videos to game ranks. The update is launching gradually so make sure you check the Updates section in your Galaxy Store.

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster.

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t
