Android Auto Coolwalk brings a feature for long-awaited music

Published

on


Following a public beta period of two months, Google made Android Auto known as “Coolwalk,” available to everyone a few days after announcing it at CES 2023. A convenient music control feature has appeared for quite some time now. Let’s see which one it is.

Android Auto Coolwalk brings a long-awaited music seek bar feature

Music-lovers rejoice! Android Auto has finally released a long-awaited feature that allows users to see the progress of their favorite tunes easily. With the introduction of Coolwalk, the latest addition to Android Auto’s music experience, users can now keep track of their songs with a convenient music progress bar. For those who enjoy listening to music on their daily commute or during long trips, this new feature is sure to be a welcome upgrade. With it, you can quickly jump between songs and get an idea of how much time is left in each track – all from your car dashboard. 

As discussed on Reddit, only a limited number of people can currently access this news, so the update has not spread yet. It is not clear if the change was made after “Coolwalk” ‘s redesign of Android Auto or if those using an earlier version are able to access it as well, but it seems that the new feature may be obtainable only with “Coolwalk” and probably Google will extend its availability to more devices soon.

What is the Coolwalk music progress bar feature?

One of the most highly anticipated features of Android Auto is finally here with the release of Coolwalk. The Coolwalk music progress bar feature gives users a visual representation of how far along their current song is, as well as how much time is left. This has been a top request from users for many years, and we’re excited to finally bring it to Android Auto.

Android Auto Coolwalk interface arrives on more devices

This new feature will be available in all versions of Android Auto, including the free version. To use the music progress bar, simply open up your favorite music app and start playing a song. The progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen and will update in real time as the song progresses. You can also tap on the progress bar to jump to a specific point in the song.

We hope you enjoy this new feature and that it makes your listening experience even better!

Samsung has brought several useful features for the Galaxy devices with the One UI 6.1. Now the devices are getting multiple enhancements, which will improve the overall performance with convenience. With the latest update of device care, it has brought the same battery statistics that were removed in the One UI 6.0.

Samsung has rolled out a new update for device care. It is coming with the firmware version number 13.8.06.11. With the latest update, the battery section in the system settings gets some new options, like bringing the “Since Last Charge’ filter to the better life graph. The update is now available on the Galaxy Store, but in case it doesn’t arrive for your device, you can also download it from external sources. 

The latest update of Device Care is also available for devices that are running on One UI 6.0 or One UI 5.1, which means you will not necessarily need One UI 6.1. Once you install the latest update of the device care, you will get two new filters in the drop-down menu: Today and Since Last Charge. In the Today section, you will get the stats about the battery for the current day’s battery charging and battery life graph.

When you tap on the since last change, it will display the battery life graph, displaying the screen on time since your Galaxy device was last changed.

Circle to Search Will Soon Add On-Screen Translation

Published

Samsung has already started rolling out its latest and is awaiting the One UI 6.1 software update to its 2023 flagship smartphones, which offers plenty of Galaxy AI features, including the most popular Circle to Search with Google, for which Samsung has already praised Google. Now Google is gearing up to upgrade this feature. 

The Circle to Search feature permits you to search directly by just circling any image or text on the display without changing the app. Google plays the lead role in this Circle to Search feature, and now it is setting up to enhance the facilities within the Circle to Search feature for more convenience. 

Google announced that Circle to Search will be able to translate content on the display in the coming weeks, leading to speculation. To access this feature, all you have to do is long-press the home button or the navigation bar to bring up Circle to Search, and tap the translate icon. Then, instantly, the Circle to Search feature will automatically detect the language of the content on the display and translate it to your preferred language. 

With this upgrade, it will not be asked to draw a circle around it. For instance, if you open any PDF file that is in Japanese, you can convene Circle to Search, hit the translate icon, and it will convert the language of the menu to English effortlessly. 

Presently, for translating content that is on the display, first you have to take a screenshot, then go to Google Translate, and then select that image. Then the app will detect the language in the screenshot and convert it to the preferred language. This seems pretty lengthy since for this you have to switch between applications, take a screenshot, then select, and more. Now Google is upgrading the Circle to Search feature, which will offer the facility to translate features seamlessly.
