Google’s I/O developer conference focuses on updates to its Android ecosystem to bring new experiences and a strong layer of security, battery life optimizations on watches, and entertainment to TVs, cars, and more.
Android 15 Update Have New Features
Now Google is introducing Android 15 Beta 2 and offering more ways to improve the OS version to help you stay protected. Let’s take a closer look at the forthcoming updates coming to the Android ecosystem.
- Let’s create a private app space.
Android 15 introduces a new and convenient feature called “Private Space” that helps secure dedicated space on your device to store private apps from unauthorized access. It just asks for extra authentication and keeps everything hidden from the main view; for instance, a digital safe. You can also set up a dedicated lock for private space and hide its existence altogether.
- Theft Detection Lock:
By the end of this year, a new theft detection lock is expected to arrive, which will help keep personal and financial data safe to avoid the risk of fraud or loss in the event that your phone is ever snatched from you. This feature will use Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike, or drive away with it, and once a theft motion is detected, it will instantly be locked down to keep personal details out of the wrong hands.
- More real-time protection over fraudulent apps
Google Play Protect will help you analyze app behavior and identify potential phishing or scams by using on-device AI. This real-time protection will add-on security as it will not touch any of your private details; however, it will flag suspicious applications and take action, such as warnings or disabling the application if required.
- Message with RCS in Japan:
RCB enabled in Google’s messaging app benefits from a more upgraded and secure messaging experience. Along with high-resolution photo and video sharing, improved group chats, end-to-end encryption, and more, Google is working with KDDI and other partners to bring an updated messaging experience to Japan with RCS in Google Messages.
- Let’s add items to Google Wallet from the image:
In the upcoming updates, you will have the power to add digital versions of any pass, even those without a barcode, by simply taking a picture. This counts things such as event tickets, library cards, and gym memberships. Google Wallet is expanding its reach in the US.
- Explore AR content in Google Maps
Google will soon let you access augmented reality (AR) content directly in Google Maps on your device, helping you learn more about a location in new and alluring ways. This feature is being tested for now in Singapore and Paris, but it paves the way for a major extended reality (XR) platform for all Android phones, built with Samsung and Qualcomm.
- More apps in the car:
Soon you can access streaming services like Max and Peacock, play games, and use a wider range of apps in a few particular cars with Google built-in. Google Cast is arriving in cars with the Android Automotive OS.
- Find new content with AI on Google TV
This will help you find things to watch more easily than ever; it will create personalized summaries for movies and shows based on your choice.
- Improve training with Wear OS5 updates
Wear OS 5, expected to arrive later this year, boasts at least up to 20% more battery life. Fitness applications will support further data points, for instance, ground contact time, helping you improve your performance.
- Connect your device. ecosystem –
The upcoming update will enhance features and functionality, such as fast pairing, tracking battery life, locating lost devices with the new Find My Device, and finding things like keys or stuff with Bluetooth tracker tags from Chipolo and Pebblebee.
