Earlier in the year, Google announced that it would be merging its Android Pay and Google Wallet services under one new umbrella called "Google Pay." A little more than a month later, the Google Pay app is now rolling out to users via an update on the Play Store. The initial launch does not bring anything new to the table and is basically the beginning of the rebrand.
Google has opened its first Google Shop in London. Based at Currys PC World on London Tottenham Court Road, the shop will sell Google's latest range of Android phones, tablets, Chromebook laptops and Chromecast TV services.
Android Security
Google has released the June 2019 Android Security Bulletin, giving carriers and device makers a fresh set of patches to install. Though Google puts out the Android security patches each month, the job of actually getting the fixes to end users falls on the telcos and/or device manufacturers themselves. Those partners vary in their ability to release the patches in a timely fashion.
Huawei
Google has warned the Trump administration it is risking compromising US national security if it pushes ahead with sweeping export restrictions on Huawei and is reportedly asking for an exemption from the ban.
