What are these android icons?

I'd say "pull the notifications down", but as most of these questions concern screenshots the simplest way is generally to ask the person whose screenshot it is.

However, the amoeba-like thing on the right is Avast (security app). The dot in the middle looks like the indicator that there are more notifications but not enough room to show them (which is annoying when the reason there's no room is to make space for a notch which your phone doesn't have in the first place). No idea about the 2 little drink bottles, except that since Google's app guidelines have for some time said that notification icons should be monochrome it's clearly an old app.

Smart Telescopes Discussion

With that large of an investment, research is time well spent. I merely scratched the surface for information. I think you are a wise man indeed to look before you leap.
Ty man, I was thinking of getting one many moons ago, just to look through the night sky and really photograph them crystal clear too, but as time ticks on, I am glad I did end up with a tiny telescope for my moto edge plus, if only I could line it up and make it does not feel so heavy though that is the only thing about it.. But there could be a much better adapter for it soon :)

Best case with screen protector for Moto G Stylus

yeah i hate putting screen protectors on myself......i always get bubbles and then the edges start to peel off or get dirt underneath them which is why i like zagg shields. Best Buy offers to put them on for you and the same goes for the zagg booth that is inside one of the malls i go to (pre-pandemic of course). the nice thing is for a one time thing, they will replace the shield for free. and for $7 they will install a new one for you!

Zoom, Skype, Bluetooth

FWIW I've used Skype with various BT speakers(Including W-King) and BT headphones(Including Bose QC35), on a few different phones like Oppo, Samsung and Huawei with various Android versions, and never had a problem. And have also used Zoom with Huawei Mate 10 running Android 10, and again no problems with BT headphones and BT speakers. Have also had video calls with WeChat as well, using BT devices, and again no problems. Duo I don't know, never used that.

Apps Closed Track testing

I want to get my latest release of the app out to an identified bunch of users quickly (about 1000 users). I understand that I can create a closed track. I must build a "Beta" apk and then
1. Upload a huge list of email addresses to it, and then send them all a linky
2. Wait for them to install and for them to give feedback on the new feature if any
3. after 2 weeks I want to build a release package, and smoke test it, then
4. I want then close the Closed Beta track , and have them all to be forced onto the new release instead of asking them to remove the beta, which is a little nutso, especially if that means about 500 people will have both apps, sometimes get confused, and will have to remember to uninstall. Will closing remove the Beta App? I know the app will have the banner thingy to remind them, but would like this to be neater. As a side note, I'm feeling uncomfortable having a list of 1000 email addresses, but that's off topic here.

I understand that changing the APP-ID also means customers cannot move their data between the beta app and the release or visa versa, that's a separate question entirely, and our preference in this case as it's an upgrade is to keep the app ID the same if possible. (Most all of data is in-cloud, so users would need to login again, so that complicates the experience slightly, which is a separate consideration.) I understand that this is not what Closed Betas are really for, but ...
Please tell me I'm misunderstanding the Closed Beta process itself (not the intent).
