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.
Samsung has made two internet browser applications available for all Android users, one stable and another in beta. In the beta version of Samsung Internet, it provides all the new features early to the users, and following that, the beta application is now getting the new ability to take screenshots in the secret mode.
For your information, the secret mode of the application provides several new features that allow users to browse different sites privately; it is similar to incognito mode in the Samsung Internet beta browser.
Now the company has released a new update for the Samsung Internet Browser with the version number 26.0.0.19. The company has enabled the previously restricted ability to take screenshots in the secret mode with the latest update. To take advantage of new abilities, you should update the application to the latest version on the Galaxy Store.
If you haven’t received the update yet, you can also sideload the mentioned version from an external source, or if you don’t want to do that, it is better to wait as it may take some time to reach every device.
