Huawei has tensed: Google “Messages” will stop working on “uncertified” Android
Google is preparing for the next change to Google Messages. At the end of March 2021, the application will no longer work on “non-certified” Android devices.
This message was discovered by enthusiasts in the code of the Google Messages app version 7.2.203. There is a line in the code that says, literally, the following:
Messages will stop working on uncertified devices, including this on March 31st. “
Apparently, we are talking about devices based on the Android operating system, which for some reason did not go through the process of official Google certification for Google Mobile Services.
Such devices do not install the main Google applications and services, but their manufacturers often give users instructions on how to independently install Google applications on their gadgets.
Google successfully fights against such practices, however, Google Messages blocking has so far been bypassed and users could easily use this application, including on smartphones without Google certification, including Huawei.
The ex-flagships of the Xiaomi 12T series debuted last October with MIUI 13 based on Android 12. But now the older model of the line – Xiaomi 12T Pro – has received a stable version of MIUI 14 based on Android 13. The corresponding update is already being distributed in several European countries.
The new firmware is designated V14.0.6.0.TLFEUXM, and in addition to the latest version of the interface, it includes the December Android security updates. This is the first major software update for Xiaomi 12T Pro – the device will receive two more (that is, Android 15 is guaranteed to it), and then Android security updates will be released for another year.
Recall that a feature of Xiaomi 12T Pro is a 200-megapixel Samsung HP1 sensor as part of the main camera.

Google quietly announced the launch of Android TV 13 for real hardware. Technically, Google announced the release of Android TV 13 late last year, but at that time it could not even be downloaded on the proprietary ADT-3 set-top box for developers.
Starting February 1, the update is available for download on Google for anyone with an ADT-3 set-top box. Google said in a brief update on the page:
Latest Update: The final release of Android 13 TV is now available.
So the final version of Android TV 13 is actually only available to a very small number of developers. However, this is already a big step forward. On the other hand, the timing of the release of Android 13 TV for TVs and set-top boxes available in stores has remained unknown.
