News & Reviews:   Google

Back in June, Google announced that it would be bringing a noise cancellation to Google Meet. The feature has been on the web version for some time, but it was only yesterday Google announced that the update is now going to be available on Android and iOS.

With the ongoing fiasco between Epic Games and Apple for Fornite, Google has decided to make its stance on the matter clear. The company has announced that developers that have apps on the Google Play Store must use Google Play's billing system. In other words, apps that bypass it will not be allowed.

Now that Android 11 has officially launched, we're seeing a lot of brands making that transition for their devices. But they're not the only one, as Google has begun to upgrade some of its other platforms as well. Specifically, the company has confirmed that Android TV will be getting upgraded.

With the launch of iOS 14, one of the new things that Apple finally added to the operating system is the option to set default apps. Now, Google has since jumped on the change and has begun to update its iOS version apps so that you can use them as default apps in iOS.

As was revealed earlier this week, Google is getting ready to launch the new products on 30 September 2020. This includes a new Pixel device, smart speakers, and the Chromecast replacement that we've written about previously. Sources have now found more images of the new device and claim that it has a new name.

Just a couple of hours ago, Google have finally broke the silence by announcing their next event on 30 September 2020 at 1AM (PT). Called as Launch Night In, it will be a livestream event where the company will unveil the latest Chromecast, smart speakers, and of course, the new Pixel phones. 

Now that Google has launched Android 11, brands out there have begun to create their customised versions. But before we see any of those launched, Google has more up its sleeve. The company has officially announced Android 11 Go, a cut-down version of the new OS for entry-level devices with 2GB of RAM or less.

Google has been working quite hard to push YouTube Music in recent months. The team working on it just released a new update yesterday, with new features that focus on improving playlists. To achieve that, artificial intelligence (AI) and other collaborative measures were employed.

It seems that Google has recently pushed out an update for Google Docs, Google Slides, as well as Google Sheets, allowing users to edit the files from Microsoft Office without the need to convert the files. Not only that, but Google also allows users to seamlessly collaborate and work on the same document in real-time.

Nowadays, people are relying on navigation apps to get to their destination such Google Maps and Waze. Both of the apps are owned by Google, and the users can use them to search for the current traffic, the nearest petrol station, food, and others. Now, Waze released a new feature to help drivers to plan out their routes.
