Mountain View – In a sudden move that sparked the curiosity of developers and tech experts, Google pulled a “mysterious” app from its Play Store—one considered the first draft for the future of smartphones.

And will the user remain the decision-maker, or will algorithms take preemptive decisions on their behalf in the near future?
