15 Developments About Google Products From Google’s Largest Conference
Google I/O, which hosts developers every year, was held last Thursday.
We can say that the conference, which started with a presentation of approximately 2 hours, showed its presence in many areas, from the latest developments in Android to Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Photos and artificial intelligence.
Although hundreds of new features are described, we have compiled the 15 most striking features for you;
…
Thanks to its new feature called “Smart Compose”, Gmail can now complete your emails automatically. Just press the “Tab” key while writing your message.
…
2) Thanks to the “Suggested Actions” feature added to Google Photos, you will now be able to determine who your friends are in the photos and share them with that friend with a single click.
…
3) Let's continue our list with Google Photos. In addition to being able to easily convert a document you have taken a photo into PDF, it also announced a wonderful feature that we will all enjoy. It is now possible to turn old black and white photos into color!
…
4) According to CEO Sundar Pichai, Google Assistant comes with groundbreaking innovations.
The smart assistant, which is said to have a much more natural speech soon, is expected to have its new voice by the end of the year. One of these voices is the famous R&B star John Legend.
…
5) One of the new features of Google Assistant is that you no longer need to say “OK Google” to continue talking. With this feature called “Continued Conversations”, it can answer the questions you ask one after the other, all at once.
…
6) Another innovation was prepared with parents in mind.
In recent times, when the use of personal assistants has increased, this innovation, which requires children to say “please” when asking questions to smart assistants so that they can learn to speak more politely instead of imperative forms, aims to raise children as conscious individuals. When you say “please” while asking a question, Google thanks you and even compliments you 🙂
…
7) Let's come to the most crucial part of the conference. With this feature introduced as “Google Duplex”, you will now be able to ask Google Assistant to make a meal or barber reservation for you.
Google's artificial intelligence will call the place you want on your behalf, talk to the person on the phone in real time and make a reservation on your behalf for the day and time you want. Even though it sounds very scary, you should definitely watch the demo in the video below. Notice how natural and human-like the conversations are.

8) The next version of Android, Android P, was also introduced at this conference. Stating that their focus is now on happiness, Pichai said that they aim to help you spend less time with your phone and more time with your loved ones.
For example, in addition to providing information such as how long you used your Android phone, it will also allow you to limit your screen usage in certain applications.
…
9) If you subscribe to more than one online magazine or newspaper, you will be able to access all publications to which you subscribe on Google with a single search, with the “Subscribe” feature.
…
10) Buttonless smartphones are increasing their popularity day by day. Google is also busy preparing Android for buttonless phones. The new Android P has renewed the multi-task menu thanks to its new system. It's a bit like the iPhone X…
…
11) Android P, which has a “shush” mode, automatically puts your phone into do not disturb mode when you leave your phone face down on a surface
…
12) Another interesting feature is that when you turn your phone sideways, consciously or accidentally, while using it, a small button appears on the screen to turn the screen back to its previous position.
…
13) You will now be able to use Google Maps with your phone's camera. This feature, where you can get directions with real-time street view, is reminiscent of “Crazy Taxi”.
…
14) One of the most popular innovations is Google Lens. With the new software, you will be able to detect a document and text from your camera and copy the text in the image. Don't you think it's amazing?
…
15) Another new feature of Google Lens is “Style Match”. When you point your camera at an object around you, Google identifies the object using machine learning and offers you online sites and similar products where you can buy that product.
