Juggling Accounts and Easier Sharing: New features in Google Messages and Chrome

Published

on

Google

Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Google Messages: You might soon be able to switch between accounts when texting, making it easier for users with multiple SIMs or accounts.
  • Android Cross-device services: Share your internet connection and transfer calls seamlessly between nearby Android devices and Chromebooks.
  • Chrome AI History Search: Search your browsing history using natural language (e.g., “comfortable walking shoes”) for faster navigation.

1. Google Messages: Managing Multiple Accounts (Early Look)

Google Messages might soon offer a way to manage multiple accounts within the app. Currently in development, this feature could display a “Sending as…” indicator based on the Google account you’re signed in with. While still under testing, it suggests future support for switching between accounts, which is potentially useful for users with multiple SIM cards or work profiles.

2. Cross-device magic for Android (Widely Available)

Sharing data and handling calls just got easier with the wider rollout of Android Cross-device services. Here’s what you can do:

  • Internet Sharing: Share your mobile hotspot with nearby Android devices and Chromebooks without needing a password.
  • Call Casting: Move ongoing calls between your Android phone, tablet, or desktop browser with a tap, perfect for switching devices mid-conversation.

3. Chrome AI History Search (US Only, English)

Struggling to find that recipe you browsed last week? Google Chrome’s new AI-powered history search lets you use natural language to search your browsing history. This feature is currently experimental and requires enabling it in Chrome settings. Keep in mind, it only works for websites visited after enabling the feature and stores encrypted website content locally on your device.

Bonus: Google Messages Magic Rewrite (Beta)

Google Messages is making a small but helpful change to its Magic Compose feature. Originally, you could choose different writing styles (“Remix,” “Chill,” etc.) for your message within the main compose bar. Now, this functionality has moved to the “+” menu (where you find Gallery, GIFs, etc.) and is renamed “Magic Rewrite.” Additionally, the compose field appears slightly larger, offering a bit more breathing room when crafting your message.

Google is getting ready to show off its brand-new Pixel 10 smartphone, and it wants its most loyal fans to be part of the excitement. The company is planning a special event for June, before the official launch. This event is especially for “superfans”—people who really love Pixel phones and always want to try the latest tech.

At this event, Google will give these fans a close look at the Pixel 10. They might get to see new features, learn about how the phone works, and even share their thoughts with Google. This is a chance for Google to hear from fans before the phone comes out for everyone. Superfans are often the first to know about new updates and features, and Google values their feedback.

By inviting superfans early, Google hopes to make the Pixel 10 launch even better. The company wants to learn what fans like and what could be improved. This way, they can make small changes before the big release. The event is a sign that Google cares about its users and wants them to feel special.

In short, if you are a big Pixel fan, keep an eye out for an invitation to this special June event. You could be one of the first to see the Pixel 10 up close and help shape its future!

Google Wallet now fixes pin problem on wear os smartwatches

Google Wallet

Google has fixed an issue with Google Wallet on Wear OS smartwatches that was making it hard for users to use their PIN code. Before this fix, some users found that when they tried to use Google Wallet to pay with their watch, they were not able to enter their PIN. This made it difficult or even impossible to use the payment feature.

The problem seemed to happen mostly after users updated their smartwatch software or after restarting their device. Some people also noticed it when they locked their watch and then tried to unlock it to make a payment. The issue was frustrating because users could not complete transactions without the correct PIN.

Google has now released an update for Google Wallet on Wear OS. This update solves the problem, so users can once again enter their PIN and use their watch to pay for things. The company did not say if this fix would come as a separate update or as part of a bigger system update. But users should check for updates on their smartwatch to make sure they have the latest version of Google Wallet.

This is good news for people who use their smartwatches to pay for things every day. Now, they can use their watch to pay without worrying about PIN problems. The update should make using Google Wallet on Wear OS watches easier and more reliable. If you are still having trouble, make sure your watch is updated and try restarting it.
