[Wayback/Archive] HelgaDulfer on Twitter: “@zorgenzo Probeer form op te slaan en dan met Adobe Fill&Sign in vullen en ondertekenen; vervolgens kun je ingevulde exempl. mailen of weer opslaan”
I took a quick look, but the mobile Fill & Sign apps on Android and iOS are even harder to use for filling out forms than using Acrobat Reader on PC or MacOS Preview.

For a long time, I had an “NFC TagInfo” app on my phone. It worked well, and combined simplicity with straightforward easy use.
To my dismay, when upgrading to a new phone, the icon had been copied over, but the app was unavailable as per the cropped¹ image on the right.
The important message there was “Your device isn’t compatible with this version” which, as I quickly discovered, means “This app has not been updated to be compatible with the Android version you run” (without telling up until which Android version it would run on).
What I however initially missed on the screenshot was the [Wayback/Archive] Michael Roland bit (this is his Stack Overflow profile link where he, as on [Wayback/Archive] User Michael Roland – Stack Exchange, explicitly mentions [Wayback/Archive] NFC TagInfo – Apps on Google Play²).
However, when you search you get another NFC TagInfo app: NFC TagInfo by NXP.

Uninstall this as soon as it appears on your Android phone: [Wayback/Archive] Google System APK Transparency | Android Binary Transparency | Google for Developers
Via [Wayback/Archive] jack: “You remember #Apple scanning a…” – Mastodon @ SDF:
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn’t appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same – scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so “to protect your #privacy“.You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

A long time ago, I wrote about Wifispots instellen | Klantenservice | Ziggo « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff.
For that, you need a Ziggo VPN certificate, which you can download from [Wayback] www.ziggo.nl/content/dam/www.ziggo.nl/tools/WifiSpots certificaten/WifiSpots certificaat Android en Windows Ziggo.crt .
On many Android phones, that does not install the default way any more as back then.
The reason is that it is a CA root certificate (in this case identifying Ziggo as certificate authority) thereby allowing them to issue any certificate. This can be a serious risk, so you have to be really sure to trust them before installing the certificate.

Often, Google Photos does not auto-stitch a series of photos.
On Android, you can use this app in stead: [Wayback] Bimostitch Panorama Stitcher – Android-apps op Google Play
I stitched the panorama photo in the Tweet below with it [Wayback/Archive].
You can find it back in this Google Photo’s album: [Wayback/Archive] photos.app.goo.gl/XgovxiK2CKJzdH4u7

After upgrading to Oxygen OS 12 The “Quick device connect” service started nagging me for permissions as soon as I upgraded to OxygenOS 12: [Wayback/Archive] What exactly is “Quick device connect”, and is it secure? : oneplus.
Hardly any information on it except truckloads of messages of battery draining for which you can either upgrade it and if that still fails, disable it completely:
