The new feature of Google Photos has provisions to make a picture look much cuter by making the colors pop and recreating old pictures. There are numerous suggested actions while viewing photos, such as the option to brighten, share, rotate or archive a picture, and these suggested actions are powered by machine learning, which means you only see them on relevant photos. The new feature will launch in the coming months.
There are likely to be new features for Google Assistant and some new integrations for Google Home. Assistant remains Google’s largest competitive push against Amazon’s Alexa and, to a lesser extent, Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana.
With the new Cheeseburger emoji, Pichai exclaims that “I never knew so many cared about where the cheese is” The digital well-being by Google helps to improve life by creating tools and features that help people better understand their tech usage, focus on what matters most, disconnect when needed, and create healthy habits for the whole family. The app dashboard provides a complete picture of how you use your phone. Thus giving everyone the tools they need to develop their own sense of digital wellbeing.
