As 2021 nears its end, Google has decided to introduce a bag full of new Android features for users. The list includes new features for Android Auto, new Android widgets for Google apps, Emoji Kitchen, and more. Here are the details to help you better know these new features.
In an official blog post, Google has introduced new widgets for its Google Play Books, YouTube Music, and Google Photos apps. The Play Books widget will allow you to easily access your library of books, the YouTube Music widget will provide playback controls on the home screen, and the Google Photos widget will help you access your loved ones/ pets’ photos right from the home screen.
The Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy S21 owners will be able to use their phones as digital car keys. Of course, they will need to have a compatible BMW car (all 2020 and 2021 models). This feature was announced with Android 12 back in May.
Then, there’s the Emoji Kitchen feature in Gboard. This ability allows users to combine emoji into stickers. These are now available as part of the Gboard beta and will launch for all users in the coming weeks.
