Google has teamed up with Samsung to create a new platform and application programming interface (API) which syncs health-related data between Android apps and devices. Called Health Connect, it supports over 50 data types, including vitals, sleep, nutrition, activity, body measurement, cycle tracking and more.

The Google I/O 2022 event held earlier today showcased new products that have been in the works by the tech giant, including the Pixel 6a launched during the event and the Pixel Tablet, due for release in 2023. Google also give several updates regarding its software, including a new feature in Android 13 which allows for copy and paste across devices.

After the disaster that was the Pixel Slate and saying that it wouldn't be making tablet devices anymore, Google is giving Android tablets another go and will be releasing a 'premium' Pixel Tablet next year. Teased during the Google I/O event earlier today, the tablet will follow the Pixel smartphone lineup and will have Google's custom Tensor chip under the hood.

The popular YouTube Go app will be discontinued in August 2022 as the Google-owned company no longer sees its necessity anymore. Launched in 2016, YouTube Go is a lightweight version of the YouTube app designed for places with poor data infrastructure or expensive connectivity.

Alphabet Inc., the parent company of tech giant Google recently announced that it will now entertain people’s requests to remove search results that contain personal information. These include phone numbers, address,  email accounts and more.

Have you ever tried to look up something on Google Search and can’t quite describe in words what exactly you’re looking? Well, the tech giant now has a new feature to help you with just that, which allows users to search using text and images at the same time.

Announced by Search Product Manager, Belinda Zeng via a Google blogpost yesterday, the new feature is called ‘multisearch’ and will be embedded within Google Lens. First teased by Google in its ‘Search ON’ event in September last year, the multisearch feature is available as a beta in English within the United States starting yesterday.

If you’ve ever been lost for words at what to comment on a document by your colleague, then this new feature coming to Google Docs is made just for you. Currently rolling out to users, Google Docs now supports emoji reactions!

Announced via its Google Workspace Updates blog, Google said that the new feature provides users with a less formal alternative to comments when expressing their opinions. Furthermore, Google also confirmed that the feature supports all emojis available in the latest Emoji 14.0 release.

Google’s online video sharing and social media platform YouTube is now offering TV streaming service too, but with a twist. Get this, you can stream up to 4000 episodes of TV for free, but you’ll be interrupted with ads the whole time.

Seems like a fair compromise, don’t you think? Also, isn’t this just exactly what a conventional TV channel is anyway, only with an extra step and the convenience of picking what show to watch?

After teasing Android 12L last year, Google has finally released the optimised Android 12 version for tablets and foldable display smartphones last Monday (7 March 2022). However, the official release was a bit awkward, given how there’s no actual tablet or foldable device hardware to run Android 12L on currently.

If you’re facing issues with limited storage space on your Android devices, then this new feature could literally be a storage saver! In an Android Developers Blog post yesterday (8 March 2022), Google claims that a new ‘Archive’ feature currently in the works will allow users to temporarily reclaim ~60% of app storage by removing parts of the app rather than completely uninstalling it.
