Android phones will warn you of earthquakes in all 50 US states thanks to new update


Google is also finally shipping Android 15… sort of

Google is rolling out a fresh Android update that adds a lot of interesting features, including up-to-the-minute earthquake alerts in all 50 states, music search, and more. Google partnered with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), and the ShakeAlert system to launch the feature in 2020, and it looks like it’ll be continuing the partnership for the foreseeable future. We know it has to be soon; the company’s original timeline for the update hinted that it would roll out to the general public around the end of August or the beginning of September, and the new Pixel 9 comes with the year-old Android 14.
