Android November Update: New Play Store and Play Services Features Across Devices
November 18, 2025, 5:02 AM EST. Google is rolling out the November Android updates via Play Store 48.8 and Play Services 25.44. Key changes include the ability to uninstall apps from the store across all linked devices, plus a new Manage apps and devices view to track active subscriptions and Play Points. On the user side, live video during emergency calls can be shared with dispatchers, enhancing situational awareness. A confirmation prompts before blocking apps (e.g., Gemini via parental controls) and ongoing improvements to parental controls were also announced, with earlier updates (version 25.43) expanding school mode and supervised contacts. Developers gain updated Google Maps integrations in this release; many updates roll out progressively via Play Services and Play Store without full device updates.
YouTube Music tests 'Find in playlist' search to fix long-standing playlist headache
November 18, 2025, 4:58 AM EST. Google's YouTube Music is piloting a long-requested Find in playlist feature that lets you search inside large playlists. Spotted in iOS version 8.45.3 in India, the rollout appears extremely limited and likely part of an A/B test. Android users may not see it yet, and some saved radios in the Library may not support the search. If and when fully rolling out, the feature would let you open a playlist, tap the three-dot menu, and type to locate songs inside big lists- a usability upgrade that brings YouTube Music closer to Spotify's behavior. For now, updates may appear for only selected accounts, so patience is required as the rollouts continue.
YouTube Music tests 'Find in playlist' search feature, limited iPhone rollout
November 18, 2025, 4:56 AM EST. YouTube Music is testing a new feature called Find in playlist that lets users search for specific tracks inside a playlist without scrolling. The option appears in the playlist's three-dot overflow menu, just below Shuffle play, and requires typing the song name to jump directly to it. So far, the rollout is limited to select iPhone users on app version 8.45.3, with no confirmed Android release date. Google is conducting A/B testing, so accessibility varies by account. The feature currently works only with standard playlists, not radio playlists in your library. If widely adopted, it could streamline navigation across long collections, with expansion to more playlists and platforms expected later.
Tesla dodges class-action certification as race-harassment claims mount at Fremont factory
November 18, 2025, 4:46 AM EST. Tesla dodged a class-action claim alleging pervasive race harassment at its Fremont factory, but the company now faces hundreds of individual lawsuits. Stanford law expert William Gould IV notes limited live testimony and argues Tesla's resources make the class-action decision meaningful. Former assembly-line worker Marcus Vaughn alleges Black coworkers faced slurs, graffiti, and nooses, with Tesla failing to investigate after his written complaints and firing him for a supposed 'negative attitude.' The case dovetails with EEOC charges and a suit from the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing. Plaintiffs' lawyers say they already filed more than 500 suits and plan to exceed 900, turning a decertification victory into a broader wave of claims against Tesla.
Google adds live video sharing to emergency calls with November Play Services update
November 18, 2025, 4:44 AM EST. Google is rolling out an integrated live video experience for emergency calls as part of the November Google Play Services update. The feature extends Pixel safety tools-Car Crash Detection, Safety Check, and Crisis Alerts-by letting dispatchers request and access a real-time video feed during an emergency. Users can choose to share video with responders, potentially improving response times with a clearer view of the situation. As with prior options to record and share emergency clips, the video may not be stored on the user's device, though dispatchers could save it on their end if needed. Exact behavior will be clarified once the update goes live.
