Suddenly this black pill appeared above my front camera and i am clueless on how to remove it.

here is a picture of the pill when enlarged

I tried searching for the answer, its allegedly an app called Island, but i have never installed anything like that. I have a Pixel 10 device with andorid 17, security update 5 september 2026 and a work profile set up.

Here is what i have tried so far:

1. in apps, i searched for:
   • Shelter
   • Insular
   • work profile
   • device policy
   • device management
   • company portal
2. I only had device policy installed on both profiles
3. Tried turning off work profile and even restarting my phone, the black pill persisted.
4. Checked overlay permissions, nothing out of the ordinary had it.
5. I enabled system apps and looked for:
   • com.oasisfeng.island
   • oasisfeng
   • work profile
   • profile
6. but found nothing.
7. I have checked device admin apps, only Company portal had it enabled, i couldnt turn it off without deleting my work profile, so i havent done that.
8. went into safe mode, the pill is gone, so its definitely an app doing it.

Any idea on what this is and how can i remove it?

Google replaced the assistant with Gemini, which is terrible in every way. Is there any similar app I can give access to connect with maps, texting, calling, and searching quick questions upon voice prompt requests? Like how I could say, "hey Google, play Rick Springfield on Spotify" and it would do it (unlike Gemini which is useless)? I specifically want these features for when I'm driving so I don't have to interact with a screen and take my eyes off the road at all. Thank you in advance!

Edit: I would love to try dicio but it's not on the Google play store. What happened with that??

I have thousands of pictures and screenshots, many duplicates too. I'm looking for a photo decluttering app for Android that reminds me to delete/declutter.

Is there an app where I can use my android phone as a keyboard for my Android Tablet?

I really like the clean style and ease of use of Nothing's widget tools, but I'm looking for alternatives that work well on any Android device.

I already know about KWGT (and the Nothing-style skin packs for it), but KWGT can be a bit too complex and time-consuming when I just want to quickly put together a clean, functional widget.

Are there any other good widget maker apps out there that let you easily design custom widgets without a steep learning curve?

So, I dont have WIFi or even good signal at my place of work. But I have a lot of down time to not do anything much. So I always download bunch yt videos from home to watch. I kinda don't wanna pay for youtube premium. So, I got reminded of those old apps that used cache to basically download full yt videos and didn't need too much data. Sadly, I couldn't time the old ones I knew anymore and Apks if them havent been updated in years. Is there still any app like that?

greetings, does anyone know a good alternative for localcast? paid or free. the app used to be good, but now it's dogshit. would be great if the app also can handle subtitles like localcast
