Google Now is pretty smart in its current iteration, which is an undeniable fact. But things could get a whole lot better with the ability to add specific people to your reminders, according to a new rumor.
Earlier this week, Google rolled out an update for its Google Search app that brought a new detailed layout for Google Now cards and the ability to toggle the “Ok Google” hotword detection.
Turns out, the update includes a lot of other goodies as well as revealed by the official change-log posted by Google today.
The Google Search app on Android has just received an update with some new features in tow. Users can now get improved information on sports teams including cricket and better support for cards relating to stocks. Other changes include better image search which now includes a ‘View in Browser’ option in addition to ‘Share’ and ‘Visit Page’.
HTC is expected to give carriers a “sneak peak” at a brand new smartwatch powered by Google Now at Mobile World Congress next week, according to “a person with direct knowledge of the plans” who has been speaking to Bloomberg. The prototype device is said to be the first of three new wearables from the Taiwanese company.
The Google Now app which comes pre-installed on every Android device has received a rather hefty update that allows the service to provide information for the Winter Olympics, in addition to new capabilities that allows the service to call or send an SMS message to one of your contacts.
