Google Clock App Update: Added A New Feature
Google designs the Clock app to make available to users all the features they may need in a single package, from alarm clocks to timers, from timers to time zones, with some gems such as the possibility of scheduling the time of resting and pairing the application with Wear OS smartwatches to have alarms “on the wrist”.
Recently, a new update hits to the Google Clock application with version number 7.3, which add a important feature. Following the update, users can see on the first tab that when they open the alarm, there is a “Halt alarm” button that enables them to “choose the dates to pause the alarm.” Therefore, you can choose the start and finish dates because of this functionality (tapping the month view or entering the dates using the numeric keypad).
Additionally, the Timer tab enhances the administration of numerous active accounts upside-downs, rather than a view that only allows you to see one at a time (and requires scrolling); each timer is actually shown as a compact card, and you may examine multiple timers at once.
Each tab’s top section displays the timer’s start time (which can be changed with a simple tap) and then offers a series of keys for a few quick actions, such as stopping the timer, starting it over, adding a minute, etc.
The Google team added a brighter screen with a backdrop color and smaller, more efficient buttons to the screen that displays when a timer expires.
Google Watch version 7.3 is being released on Google Pixel smartphones and other devices and can be downloaded through the following badge:

Google released Android Auto 11.9 Beta Update
This new Android Auto 11.9 beta build landed online a few hours ago, allowing users to test its features before the public rollout begins.
The latest Android Auto 11.9 beta is ready to download for all users who have registered for it. However, the update rarely brings significant changes from the previous updates. The mMountainvViewgiant didn’t offer the changelogs for the Android Auto updates, so the only way to find out what’s new in version 11.9 is to install it on your device and look for changes.
In the previous Android Auto 11.8 update, the redesigned Settings menu began rolling out to users. Installing Android Auto 11.9 beta doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the new Settings interface today, but it is required once Google enables the server-side update on your device.
Keep in mind that Android Auto 11.9 is still in the beta stage. As a result, you may encounter bugs and issues after installing it. As a result, you might experience crashes or other issues while using this beta version.
Google’s Gemini AI adds a new convenient and awaited functionality to the Gmail app for Android: the ability to summarize emails.
The previous reports have already revealed that the Gmail app for Android devices is going to have the ability to summarize emails using Google’s Gemini AI. Now, recent reports are revealing that this feature is close to launch.
A colleague Android Authority contributor and reliable cose sleuth Assemble Debug managed to activate the feature on version 2024.04.21.626860299 of the Gmail app. Google has not yet widely rolled out the feature, but we expect it to happen soon.
Expectations are that Google will formally announce the feature at the upcoming I/O 2024 event, along with many other announcements about the upcoming iteration, including the launch of the Pixel 8a.
Once the brand officially rolls out this feature, you will see a “Summarize this email” button under the subject line of their emails. If you hit the button, it will generate a quick summary of the email. This feature should be especially convenient for lengthy emails with lots of text and other details.
You will also have the power to rate the quality of the summary by tapping the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons under the summarized text. Probably, this will help Google improve Gemini’s summarizing capabilities. It will also offer a button to copy the summary to the clipboard.
Recently, Samsung has introduced several updates to its application to provide new experiences to its users. For instance, it has provided a new update for QuickShare connectivity and several Good Lock modules. Now, the company has started rolling out the update for the voice recorder.
Samsugn has rolled out a new update for the Voice Recorder application, which comes with version number 21.5.12.02. According to the changelog, the latest update for voice recorders is coming, which will improve the functionality of various functionalities. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t shared details about it. However, since the company introduced the transcribe ability for users with the One UI 6.1, it is possible that the company will improve this ability with this update.
But one thing is certain: if you are experiencing any issues while using any of the features, you should upgrade to the most recent version. To do that, you just need to go to the Galaxy Store and search for the voice recorder. Users can also sidelog the latest version of the application from external sources.
