Google constantly updates the Android mobile operating system, bringing new features to millions of smartphone users.
Recently, the company announced another update, introducing seven exciting features. Let’s explore these additions.
Easy Message Editing
After the update, users will have the convenient option to delete or edit messages they’ve sent. Currently, apps like Google Messages lack this functionality,
leaving users unable to correct sent messages. With the new update, users will have a 15-minute window to make edits.

Android users will now enjoy seamless connectivity between their smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks. With a single tap, users can instantly connect their devices to their smartphone’s hotspot, offering enhanced convenience and flexibility.
Updated Google Home Widget
Android users will receive an update for the Google Home Favorite Widget, allowing for easy management of frequently used smart devices directly from the phone’s home screen.
Digital Car Keys
With the new update, users gain the ability to control their cars using their smartphones as digital keys. Selected MINI models will support functions like locking, unlocking, and starting the car directly from the phone.
Enhanced Emoji Experience
Android phones now feature improvements to the emoji kitchen, enabling users to create custom emojis by combining two existing ones.
This allows for personalized emoji expressions, from disco balls to headphones, enhancing communication.
Smart Device Control from Smartwatch
Google introduces a feature in its latest update that enables WearOS-powered smartwatches to control frequently used smart home devices directly from the wrist, making home management even more accessible.
