First on Google’s list of new features is a flight price tracker that can alert users of cheaper flights on any dates. Previously, the flight price tracker only allowed notifications for specific travel dates. Google says users will receive an email when the algorithms “detect lower than typical fares in the next 3-6 months,” (via Android Police). Google is also adding features for travelers who wish to drive to nearby locations....
This could be proof Google is developing a second-gen Google Tensor SoC Folks over at 9to5Google managed to spot something interesting while digging through apps on the Pixel 6. They found references to a “Cloudripper”, a Pixel-related codename. This is not a codename for either the Pixel 7 or 7 Pro. The source believes this is a codename for the second-gen Google Tensor SoC, with the model number “GS201”. That same “GS201” model number was spotted by Mishaal Rahman in some newly-released Android code changes....
If you’re not very familiar with PWAs, understand them as standard websites presented in a slightly complex manner to look and function like an app. Now you might argue that you could already open that webpage in your browser. Perhaps even bookmark it for quick access whenever you want. Well, since PWAs come as a standalone app, they open separately like a conventional app and hence, help “streamline your workflow by eliminating the need to switch between tabs” in a browser....
You are probably already familiar with Google Maps and Waze. These are two of the most widely used navigation apps globally. But what many don’t know is Google owns both of them. Well, the former already has the Google branding and comes built-in on Android devices. Waze, meanwhile, was acquired by the Android maker in 2013. Google didn’t absorb Waze into its Maps service, though. Instead, the new service continued to operate separately as a Google subsidiary, maintaining an independent culture....
Google Messages is preparing voice memo transcripts According to the new report, Google is preparing two iterations of the transcription feature. In one instance, the feature works automatically. All incoming voice messages are transcribed and shown in plain text within the conversation. A Hide button will let you hide the transcribed text, while a Settings shortcut will likely take you to the settings page from where you can turn off transcriptions....

The Google Pixel 7 series launch date gets revealed, along with more info Additionally, Front Page Tech reports that the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will become available to purchase on October 13....
Google is calling on Pixel users to give feedback about One of the most important stages in releasing new software is getting feedback during the beta phase. Users will tell the developers any issues that they come across and what fixes are needed. From that point, the developers will go and fix them before the official launch. Even though Android 12L is an incremental upgrade from Android 12 proper, there is still a need for some solid feedback....
One of the main reasons why people are bellyaching is that Google Reminders are accessible through the Assistant, there’s not really an intuitive interface to use. On the other hand, Google Tasks has a more usable interface that you can access through the dedicated mobile app or through the Workspace side panel. However, you can’t use the Assistant to create tasks. So, when it comes to choosing between Reminders and Tasks, you’ll need to pick your poison....
Google’s first foldable smartphone to launch in Q4 2022 Ross Young actually talked about the display size on that device, which is something we reported on yesterday. In the comments, though, he was asked when the device is coming. As a response, he simply wrote “Q4”. This particular analyst is usually spot on with his information, so chances are this is it. We expected Google to announce its first foldable this year, in either Q3 or Q4, and it seems like it’s finally coming in the last quarter....
To check the quality of air in your city, you have to simply search for “air quality” on Google Search. You will find an identically named card on top, with a map of your city. Color-coded pins, which are labeled with alphabets, will tell the air quality for each station in that area. You can match these colored pins with an index below the map to know the AQI category (good, poor, severe, etc....
This shutdown of Android Auto for Phone screens has been coming for a long Introduced back in 2015, the phone version of Android Auto turned your smartphone into a driving companion with an optimized UI featuring larger touch targets and other elements. It was pretty useful, particularly if the car didn’t feature a screen or the head unit was not compatible with Android Auto. Google wanted to improve the phone experience and developed Assistant Driving Mode in 2019....
This will be the first redesign to the Google Store web client in a few years. It rearranges some of the UI elements to clean up the interface. What’s most notable about this change is the dedicated Watches section. According to 9To5Google, the top bar of the UI has some changes to it. Now, you’ll see the sections laid out in this order: Phones, Watches, Smart Home, Gaming, Laptops, Subscriptions, and Offers....
However, RCS still has one more big company to get on board before the feature becomes ubiquitous on mobile devices: Apple. The iPhone maker hasn’t yet made a peep about whether it will support RCS anytime soon. But Google isn’t holding back whenever it gets an opportunity to nudge Apple about it. Most recently, Google SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer took to Twitter to tease how the company could help Apple fix the broken group chats on iPhones....
The St. John’s Terminal in Manhattan will “serve as the anchor” of Google’s new Hudson Square campus in New York, its largest office outside California. The company says it has made substantial progress in building out the 1.7 million-square-foot campus. The campus will be the New York headquarters for Google’s Global Business Organization and will house its sales and partnership teams. Google continues to invest in office spaces While there’s no sign of office returns for employees anytime soon, Google is continuing to invest big in office spaces....

The screening custom rule would help Google Voice understand which contacts you want to screen and which contacts you want to ignore. All this can be done via a new setting added on Google Voice. Further, you would also be able to set different custom rules for call forwarding on your various devices....
Though if we’re being completely honest with ourselves, signing up at this stage isn’t as likely to yield desired results. In addition to being a Halo Insider, you’ll also need to receive an invite to the test. And it just seems like your chances are better at getting an invite if you’re signed up further in advance. Having said that, Microsoft states that the test is designed around gathering feedback from a wide array of different factors....
Wordle is a game that gives users six attempts to guess a daily mystery word. You start off by typing in a random 5-letter word, and the game will tell you which letters are correct. If a letter is highlighted green, then that letter is in the word and in the right place. A yellow color means that the letter is in the word, but in the wrong place, and a gray color means that the letter is incorrect....
Young has an almost impeccable track record when it comes to leaks like this. So, while we’ll still take this with a grain of salt, it is likely to be very accurate. — Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) November 3, 2021 The Galaxy S22 and S22+ will be available in Black, Green, Pink Gold and White. While the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be available in Black, Dark Red, Green and White. Obviously, these will not be the names that Samsung uses when it announces the Galaxy S22 next year, as they will have some sort of marketing names for these....

There are two big reasons why it is being highlighted here. For one, it’s pretty inexpensive, while still offering a really great experience. The Govee Immersion Kit comes in at $149, which is far lower than a comparable product from Philips Hue – their HDMI Sync Box is $250 by itself, never mind the lights. Govee can sync the lights with what is on your TV screen The Govee Immersion Kit isn’t just lights on the back of your TV....
