Summer is loaded for Google Pixel users, who will see how their devices will receive interesting news very soon. This has been made known by the Mountain View company. From leisure options to security and privacy options , these are all the new features that you will be able to enjoy shortly.
Much more privacy and improved security
The Google Photos app will now have a new folder in which to save all those photos that require more privacy or that you do not want anyone to see. The main novelty is that photos can be sent directly from the camera, so it couldn’t be easier. These photos, although they will be saved on the device itself, will not be accessible or visible in any way to anyone other than you. In order to view them, you must use a password or biometric fingerprint identification.
But Google’s concern for our own physical integrity goes further. Car accident detection is enabled in Spain, but it has already saved lives in other countries. In the event of a traffic incident, the device will ask you if you are okay , and in case of no response, it will be able to make a phone call to the emergency services. A method that is presented as an added security option and that will help those who are in a compromised situation.
In the same way, a functionality is implemented that is interesting for the times. The massive use of mobile technology means that, at times, we go confused with the phone in hand while we walk. The new function that Google has dubbed “Look ahead” and that is integrated into “Digital Wellbeing”. Your Pixel device will detect if you are walking and will periodically remind you to look up from the screen.
Cool features for every day
Google wants to make the lives of its users much easier with functionalities that help in the small daily things. For example, when recording audio with the recorder, it can be directly transcribed to text and shared. The Gboard allows advanced options when copying and pasting text. If we have one that includes a URL, a phone number or an email, they will be detected and given special treatment. For example, you can drop the URL in maps so that, in the case of being a physical address, the device guides you there. Or if it’s a phone number, add it directly as a contact. And speaking of calls, filtering will be a reality with the possibility of rejecting some simply with your voice. In addition, Google will be able to detect if the call is being made directly from a bot, so that the device does not answer it directly.
News in photography and personalization
Lovers of the night skies could enjoy the Night Vision option and thus get poignant images of the summer skies. The possibility of varying the exposure time both in photo and video will make you squeeze out everything that the camera of your device can do. Summer is the best time to record amazing night photos.
New backgrounds, tones and notifications related to Pride and created by characters from the LGTBQ + world will be available during this month, in which a large number of events are held around the world. A good way to celebrate diversity and that is already possible thanks to Google.
