Google Developers announced a big update of the Android OS, with which a number of new features will appear on smartphones. Here are the main ones.
The Family Bell feature will remind you of important events for all family members. This can be a joint meeting or trip, or a simple watering of plants or a trip to the store.
New memories on Google Photos that remind you of holiday moments. They will appear in the list of all photos and show the brightest moments of your life, from graduation to New Years.
Android Auto will be able to automatically start when the smartphone is connected to a compatible vehicle. There will also be new smart replies to messages and the ability to voice search for your favorite music.
Android Auto will finally add the ability to use a smartphone as a digital key for unlock car - so far only on Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S21 for some models BMW.
Android will learn to automatically turn off the permissions of apps you haven't used for a long time. You can restore the rights by simply turning on the program or manually in the settings. This feature will appear on smartphones with Android 6.0 and newer OS versions.
Three new widgets for branded services. The first for Google Play Books, with the ability to start reading where you left off. Second for YouTube Music with access to recently played tracks and playback controls.
