The
latest Android update brings some new features,
including a highly anticipated widget.
Google
announced on its official blog several upcoming news for Android owners. The
upcoming changes will bring a much-anticipated widget, some fun news, and
something that will help people struggling with dyslexia and vision problems.
Google
announces new Android features
The first of the unique novelties is the YouTube widget, which will allow for very easy access to the search engine and several other elements of this platform. An overlay placed on the home screen will give the user access to the search bar, Shorts tab, library or current subscriptions.
Video lovers will
also appreciate that the December Android update will also bring something new
to Google TV. From now on, with one click you will be able to transfer the
watched material from your smartphone directly to the TV screen. What's more,
our phone will be able to serve as a remote control, but at the same time, you
can use it to browse, for example, websites.
Android is
here to help
Improvements related to Android Reading have not been forgotten. This is
a spectrum of display options that can be customized to your preferences. This
function is aimed at people with dyslexia as well as those with vision
problems. The Read Aloud feature can be especially helpful.
You can easily edit
the volume level and the speed at which the text is read. There was also the
option to change the font size, colours and brightness. Android Reading is
available through the Google Play store - just download it to your device.
Combining emoticons
and photo collages
Now it's time for
entertainment, basically two new and quite fun features in Android. The December
system update from Google will allow users to enter the so-called. Kitchen
Emoji. A new option will allow you to combine emojis. Creatives will be
available, for example, in Google News.
Another thing,
although also about combining, is the function of creating collages from photos
from our gallery. Just select two to six photos from our Google photo gallery
and click 'Add to', then choose your collage.
New Wear
OS features
The tiles that
users use to view their favourite contacts and other information - including
weather-related information - will now look better. Google says that the Google
Keep app has also been improved.
In addition,
with the latest Android updates, Google Assistant will be able
to start tracking activity using the Adidas Running app. The program will be
launched with the appropriate command and will start collecting data on our
physical effort during running or other types of sports.
