At the beginning of September, Google is updating some of its services and applications in order to enrich and facilitate the lives of Android users. Let’s go around!
Certain improvements certainly seem very practical.
Always more productivity with Android
In addition to unveiling a new visual identity for Android, this fall, Google had some new features in store for its applications. The stated goal behind the updates we’ll describe in a moment: stay connected and productive.
First of all, in AI mode, the Assistant application has a new widget called At a Glance. This allows, as its name suggests, to consult information at a glance when you need it: weather, alerts, route updates, etc.
Still thanks to artificial intelligence, the Lookout application, which now supports 34 languages, is improving for people who suffer from vision problems. Image Q&A now provides a more detailed description of images, with the ability to ask for clarification by voice or by typing.
Welcome additions for everyone
Then, in addition to your papers, Wallet can now store tickets and other passes (bookstore card, gym membership, etc.). All you have to do is transfer a document with a QR code or a bar code to save it, and thus find it easily. Curious about your routine? Now, with Google Fit or Fitbit, it is possible to receive a summary of your activity and sleep statistics by launching a simple “ Hey Google, good morning after setting up your routine.
Android Auto is not forgotten either, with the upcoming arrival of new communication applications. So Webex and Zoom can soon be used in your car. The Google Meet interface has been simplified for easier use on mobile. Wear OS, version 4 of which recently arrived, welcomes WhatsApp, while Gmail on mobile offers to translate emails received in a foreign language, and Google Photos better organizes your memories thanks to AI.
Finally, people being unknowingly stalked with Bluetooth trackers hidden in their belongings will likely appreciate the fact that Android is now able to detect and alert users to a suspicious tracker.
