Back in May last year, Google introduced a new Data Safety section for apps published on the Play Store. A feature that started appearing on actual app listings in April this year and one that will be mandatory for all apps to have soon (July 20).

It's been a while now since Samsung updated its budget Galaxy Tab A line. As per a fresh new leak, a new Tab A7 (2022) model is just around the corner. The leak offers a look at the tablet's rather unexciting design. It honestly looks like a spitting image of the 2020 Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 model both from the front and back.
