You scroll through your battery usage. One app’s sitting high on the list—com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox. You didn’t open it, can’t find it in your app drawer, and have no idea what it does. But it’s always there, running quietly in the background, …
You send a voice note. No reply. You check the chat—it’s gone. Not played. Not saved. Just missing. Whether it was a quick thought, a confession, or voice message you needed them to hear, it disappeared before they even opened …
