Google is working on a new feature for Pixel phones that could show your financial activity right on the lock screen. It’s part of the “At a Glance” widget, which already displays useful info like weather and calendar events. Now, Google seems to be adding a “Finance Recap” section that keeps you updated on your spending and account activity.

A recent APK teardown of the Google app (version 15.18) revealed this upcoming feature. It’s expected to use Gmail data, just like how Google pulls travel or delivery updates, to show summaries of things like recent transactions, account balances, and payment reminders.

The code also suggests that this financial info will appear under “Finance Recap” in the At a Glance settings. There may also be warnings if something unusual happens in your account. Of course, this will likely be opt-in, so users can choose whether to allow access to their email data for this feature.

This update hasn’t been officially rolled out yet, so we don’t know exactly when it’ll go live. But if it launches, it could make keeping track of your money much easier, right from your home or lock screen.

As always with APK teardowns, these features might change or never launch. But this move hints that Google wants Pixel phones to help users manage more of their daily tasks at a glance.

Google is rolling out new updates to make Chrome on Android more accessible. The changes aim to help people who use screen readers or need to zoom in on text and pages.

One of the key improvements is better zoom support. Now, users can zoom up to 1,000% on any web page using the pinch-to-zoom gesture or the “Accessibility” settings. This helps users with low vision read websites more comfortably. Importantly, this zoom will no longer break the layout of websites, keeping everything looking clean and easy to use.

Another big update is improved support for TalkBack, Android’s built-in screen reader. Chrome now works better with TalkBack by making text and links easier to understand and navigate. This means users who rely on screen readers can read web content more smoothly.

These changes come from Google’s larger effort to improve accessibility across its products. The updates were shared during Global Accessibility Awareness Day and will roll out gradually to all Chrome users on Android in the coming months.

With better page zoom and screen reader compatibility, Chrome is now more user-friendly for people with different vision and reading needs. Google says it will continue to make more improvements in the future to help everyone browse the web with ease.

Google is rolling out a new look for the emoji section in Gboard, giving it a cleaner and simpler design. This updated layout is starting to show up for users on the latest Gboard beta version (13.9), and it might soon come to the stable version too.

In the new design, the emoji panel now floats above the keyboard instead of being attached to it. The search bar, category tabs, and the emoji grid all appear inside a neat floating window with rounded corners. This gives the whole emoji section a modern and less cluttered appearance.

The categories at the top are still there, but they now sit in a card-style bar that blends nicely with the rest of the UI. The search bar has also been updated with a clearer background, making it easier to use. Even though the layout looks different, the actual emoji and features like stickers and GIFs are still available and work the same way.

Some users have also noticed that this new style matches the look of other Google apps that follow the updated Material You design. It’s part of Google’s effort to make its apps feel more consistent and user-friendly across Android.

Right now, the redesign seems to be rolling out in stages, so not everyone will see it immediately. If you’re using Gboard beta, you might already have it, or it could show up soon.
