Google Is Bringing A Calculator To Tablets Before Apple Here S What It Looks Like

To begin with, in landscape mode, effectively none of the UI for the calculator is hidden. As shown in the images below, the full complement of calculator tools is visible. That includes all of the scientific calculator buttons found in the app’s standard landscape mode on mobile. Now, however, those tools don’t take up the entire UI either. The history of calculations was previously hidden away behind an upward swipe....

Google Lists Two Unsupported Wear Os Apps Under Essential Watch Apps Section

The essential list mentions apps like Wear OS, Google Fit, Telegram, Google Keep, Uber, Google Maps, Citymapper, and Podcast.

Google Makes Editing The Search Widget More Convenient

When you place the Google Search widget, you’re given the classic Google search bar aesthetic. It’s a white pill-shaped search bar that opens the Google app when you tap on it. You can change the look of this bar, though it was never really convenient. You would have to go to the Google app, dig into the settings, and find the options to edit the widget. It’s a bit more work than most people would like to do....

Fast forward to now, 9to5Google reported Google Maps users on Android and iOS are seeing a new prompt. This prompt titled “How navigation data makes Maps better” gives permission to the app to crowdsource user’s navigation data....

Google Pixel Watch Review It S Almost The Best

Amazing design Despite the big bezels on the Pixel Watch, it still feels like a really well-designed, high-end watch. Which is interesting, coming from Fitbit and Google. Fitbit’s watches have never really felt or looked good or high-end. Google says that they made the watch to resemble a pebble. Which is rather fitting since Fitbit bought Pebble and Google bought Fitbit. And you can really see that in the watch. We have the Obsidian color here, which is black all around....

Google S Finalizing The Transition From Duo To Meet

In case you’re unfamiliar with Google Duo, here’s a refresher. Back in 2016, Google brought two new communication apps to the market.

Google Should Make Pixels Available Everywhere

Back in 2016, Google released its first Pixel smartphone, officially called the ‘Google Pixel’. Prior to that, the company was making ‘Nexus’ devices. Google changed the design language, and the brand of its smartphones entirely, for a purpose. You see, Nexus devices were a synonym for developer phones, for affordable phones that offer great value. Well, Google wanted to change that perspective. The Nexus 6P and 5X were the last two Nexus phones to arrive, and the 6P actually felt like a premium product, for an entirely different purpose....
