Your phone will get new Color Contrast tool with Android 15

Published

Google Pixel 8 Mint

Android 15 may bring new Color Contrast settings to your smartphone. The major update is set to arrive later this year, with Google continuing to fuel it with new features and accessibility tools.

Android expert MishaalRahman notes that the new Color Contrast tool of Android 15 will help users make apps easier to read. The recently released Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.1 adds a hidden “color contrast” settings page.

Since the new settings page isn’t accessible by general users, Mishaal managed to access it manually. The screenshots show that users can choose from “default”, “medium”, or “high” contrast levels.

Additionally, the user interface of the Color Contrast feature consists of a “maximize text contrast” toggle that can be used to “add a black or white background around text to increase contrast.”

To help users check changes instantly, Android 15 has also added a mockup of an app, which displays a preview of these toggles. It should be noted that “some apps may not support all color and text contrast settings.”

Google is rolling out two new updates to help users connect and set up devices more easily.

Easier chatting with the Pixel VIPs widget

Google is testing a new widget for Android called “Pixel VIPs.” This widget puts your most important contacts right on your home screen. With it, you can quickly see recent conversations, calls, and messages from your favorite people. The goal is to make it simple to keep in touch without searching through different apps. This feature is being tested on Pixel phones and could come to other Android devices soon.

A simpler way to set up your Google TV

Google is also updating the setup process for Google TV. Now, when you get a new Google TV device, the setup is much faster and easier. You can use your phone to finish most of the steps, like signing in and connecting to Wi-Fi. The new process makes it less confusing and saves time, especially for people who aren’t tech experts. This update is rolling out to more devices, so setting up your TV will soon be a smoother experience for everyone.

What does this mean for you?

These updates show that Google wants to make technology easier for everyone. Whether you’re chatting with friends or setting up a new TV, these changes help you spend less time figuring things out and more time enjoying your devices.

Google cancels Pixel 10 preview for superfans and Google adds audio overviews to search

Published

Pixel 10 Series

Google has decided not to hold its special early preview event for the Pixel 10, which was meant for its most dedicated fans. In past years, Google invited “superfans” to see new Pixel devices before anyone else. This year, however, Google canceled the event without giving a clear reason. Fans who were looking forward to getting an early look at the Pixel 10 will now have to wait for the official launch, like everyone else. This change has disappointed many in the Pixel community, who enjoyed feeling included and valued by Google.

At the same time, Google is making it easier for people to get information from its search engine. The company is rolling out a new feature called “audio overviews.” With this update, when you search for something, you can listen to a summary of the information instead of reading it. This is helpful for people who are busy or prefer listening over reading. The audio overview gives a quick explanation of the topic, making it more convenient to learn new things on the go.

In summary, while Google has skipped its early Pixel 10 preview for superfans, it is improving its search experience by letting users listen to summaries of their search results. These updates show Google is still working to make its products better, even if some fans are disappointed by the event cancellation.

New Android Updates: Easier call controls and earthquake alerts on your wrist

Google is making Android and Wear OS even better with some helpful new features.

Easier call controls with Android 16

Android 16 is testing a new “call chip” that makes it easier to manage phone calls. When you’re on a call, a small button will appear at the top of your screen. This “call chip” lets you quickly get back to your call if you switch to another app. You can tap it to return to the call screen, mute yourself, or hang up, all without searching for the call app. This update should make handling calls much simpler, especially if you often multitask on your phone.

Earthquake alerts coming to wear os smartwatches

Google is also bringing earthquake alerts to Wear OS smartwatches. If there’s an earthquake nearby, your watch will vibrate and show a warning on the screen. This helps you get alerts even if your phone isn’t in your hand. The feature uses the same technology as Android’s earthquake alert system, which gathers data from phones to detect quakes quickly. Now, with alerts on your wrist, you can get to safety even faster.

What does this mean for users

These updates show that Google wants to make daily life safer and easier. With better call controls and quick earthquake warnings, Android and Wear OS devices are becoming even more helpful for everyone.
