September 2023 Android Feature Drop: New Features for Google Services on All Android Phones

Google has announced the September 2023 Android Feature Drop, which introduces new features to various Google services on Android devices. The new features aim to improve the user experience and provide more convenience and accessibility.

September 2023 Android Feature Drop update for Google devices arrives with several new features including WhatsApp for Wear OS,  Glance Widget, Lookout, Google Assistant, Gmail, and more.

You can check the details of all the new features below.

Assistant At a Glance Widget

The At a Glance widget displays helpful information on the home screen of the device. The widget can show dynamic travel updates, such as flight status, baggage info, and hotel check-in. The widget can also show other relevant information, such as weather, calendar events, and reminders.

Google Wallet 

One of the new features is the photo import for passes in Google Wallet, which allows users to scan or upload images of cards that have barcodes or QR codes, such as gym memberships, library cards, or grocery loyalty cards. The cards are then stored digitally in Google Wallet, where they can be accessed easily and securely.

Google Assistant

Google also added new options for Google Fit or Fitbit users to access their fitness data with Google Assistant. Users can now ask Google Assistant to tell them their sleep data and step count by saying “Hey Google, good morning”. The assistant will then provide audio feedback on the hours slept, sleep time start, and steps taken the previous day.

Lookout 

Lookout is an app that uses AI to generate more detailed descriptions of visual content. You can open an image and ask follow-up questions to learn more about what is in the image. You can type or use your voice to ask the questions. Lookout supports 34 languages, including 11 new ones such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. This makes Lookout more accessible and useful for people who speak different languages.

New Features of Wear OS 

WhatsApp for Wear OS allows users to securely send and receive messages, answer calls, and keep up with chats without having to get out of their phones. With Google Maps, you can find new places, place information, and directions on your smartwatch.

Translate email easily on Gmail

You can easily understand emails in different languages with the Gmail mobile app. It will ask you if you want to translate any email that is not in your preferred language. You can choose to see the translation right on the app.
