WHAT’S NEW

We’re making your phone more helpful this season with thirteen new features coming to Android. Like tools that help you get things done more easily. Settings that add time back into your day. And brand-new ways to express yourself. Find out what’s available now on your Android phone.

HELPFUL FEATURES

Built to help you do more. Or less.

Google TV remote

Now you can find something great to watch even when the couch has eaten your remote. Use your Android’s quick settings or the Google TV app on your Android phone to control your tv from your mobile device. You can even use your phone’s keyboard to quickly type complicated passwords, movie names or search terms.

Android Auto media and games

Get on your way faster and stay entertained on your journey with music, games and more from Google Assistant on Android Auto. Safely press play when on the road to get personalized music, news, and podcast recommendations. When you get to where you’re going, GameSnacks lets you play fun and challenging games on your car’s touchscreen.

Accessibility

Tools that make the world more accessible.

Camera Switches

Camera Switches is a new Android accessibility feature in Switch Access that can help those with speech and motor impairments to navigate their phone using eye movements and facial gestures. It turns the phone’s front-facing camera into a switch, so you can choose one movement to scan, and another to select. Pick a combination of gestures that works for you, and customize them to your range of movement. By choosing just two simple gestures, all of Android is now more accessible to more people. Watch the tutorial to get started. ​​Camera Switches will be made widely available on September 30th.

Project Activate

Built for and with people who don’t speak or have neurological conditions, Project Activate from Google Research makes it easy to communicate with Android via facial gestures. Whether you’re texting a loved one, getting a caregiver’s attention, using a voice-activated device or laughing along with friends, the app enables you to speak just by smiling or looking up.

Lookout updates

Lookout by Google makes it easier for people with low vision or blindness to accomplish frequent tasks like sorting mail, putting away groceries and more. This latest update introduces two popularly requested features: handwriting recognition and currency recognition for dollars, euros and rupees.

DIGITAL WELLBEING

Add some balance to your day.

Heads up

This new feature within Android’s Digital Wellbeing settings reminds you to stay alert when you’re looking at your phone’s screen while walking.

Android Assistant reminder hub

At home or on the go, keeping track of your to-do list is even easier—with recurring reminders that notify you at the perfect moment. Just say «Hey Google, remind me to take out the trash every Sunday night.” You can manage your reminders in the hub by asking Google “Show me my reminders.”

Waze on Android Auto

Waze on Android Auto has been redesigned to accommodate maps and instructions first, so you can drive distraction-free. You’ll also get lane guidance, touchpad support and night mode for a smoother and safer driving experience.

FUN & PRODUCTIVITY

More ways to create, share and enjoy.

New emojis

As we continue to provide users with more ways to express themselves, we want to make it easier to find the emoji mashups you love—as well as all-new ones that you might not yet know about. Emoji Kitchen offers more choices than ever before, with thousands of mashups that can express even the most nuanced emotions.

Animated backgrounds in Meet

Animated video background replacements in Meet can help you maintain privacy for what’s behind you while also making your video calls more fun.

GBoard updates

Screenshot SuggestionsNo more digging through your camera roll for a screenshot. Now when you open a messaging app, you can find and select your most recent screenshot right from Gboard.

Smart ClipboardCutting and pasting information just got easier. When you copy text that includes a phone number, email address or URL, you’ll see those key snippets of text suggested in the clipboard. You can drop those snippets into Messages, Maps and more to share contact information quickly or get started on your road trip faster.

Smart ComposeSmart Compose suggests common phrases as you type to help you cut back on repetition and potential typos. Sending and replying to messages is a breeze when you can swipe to autocomplete an entire sentence.

Improved visibility settings in Nearby Share

Take full control of who can discover your device and send files. Choose between everyone, your contacts or no one. You can easily change your preference through your phone’s Quick Settings space, anytime.

Locked Folder

Locked Folder is a passcode-protected space where you can save sensitive photos—so they won’t show up as you scroll through Google Photos or any other apps on your device.

Google анонсировала новые функции Android. Среди них — запуск BMW смартфоном

Компания Google в своём блоге рассказала о некоторых новых функциях, которые появятся на устройствах под управлением ОС Android. Нововведения в основном касаются виджетов, безопасности и конфиденциальности, эмодзи и Android Auto.

Все в курсе благодаря Family Bell

Эта функция позволяет пользователям, находящимся в одной семье, не нарушать распорядок дня, где бы они не находились. Family Bell позаботится обо всех важных моментах в течение дня, напомнит родителям забрать детей со школы, а детям — ложиться спать по расписанию. И это работает не только на смартфоне, но и на умной колонке, дисплее и прочих Android-устройствах. К праздникам будут добавлены новые задачи и цели, а также гибкие возможности настройки, редактирования и управления ими с выбранного девайса.

Больше виджетов

Вскоре на Android появятся три новых виджета. Первый — Google Play Books — позволяет получить доступ ко всей библиотеке книг и показывает прогресс прослушивания аудиокниги. Второй — YouTube Music — содержит элементы управления воспроизведением и недавно прослушанные треки. Третий — Google Photos — украшает экран смартфона фотографиями самых близких людей, а также животных в красивой рамке.

Праздничные воспоминания в Google Photos

На этой неделе Google запускает новые воспоминания, связанные с праздниками. Они появятся на своём привычном месте и будут содержать тщательно отобранные фотографии и видео не только с Нового года, но и с дня рождения, выпускного и других важных событий. Само собой, их можно переименовывать, редактировать или удалять.

Android в дороге

Обновление Android Auto приносит возможности автоматического подключения смартфона к совместимому автомобилю. Разработчики делают всё, чтобы пользователь сосредоточился на дороге. Скоро появится функция умного ответа, которая упростит отправку текстового сообщения, а также быстрый поиск и запуск музыки в стриминговых приложениях с помощью голосового помощника. Ещё одно интересное нововведение — блокировка, разблокировка и запуск автомобиля с помощью смартфона. Цифровой ключ на Android пока доступен в некоторых странах. Работает функция с некоторыми моделями BMW на Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro и Samsung Galaxy S21.

Контроль разрешений

Android автоматически сбрасывает все разрешения на устройстве, если приложение долгое время не запускалось. Со следующего месяца эта функция будет поддерживаться практически всеми устройствами с сервисами Google Play, работающими под управлением Android 6.0 и выше.

Emoji Kitchen

Иногда стандартных смайликов или стикеров недостаточно, чтобы выразить свои чувства или передать эмоции. Emoji Kitchen позволяет объединять их, создавая уникальные комбинации. Google добавляет тысячи новых вариантов, которые уже доступны в бета-версии Gboard, а в ближайшие недели — в стабильной версии клавиатуры.
