Google app Material You support

According to 9to5Google, the new Material You update gives a more customized and decent look to the Google app. The Google app now uses a Material You aligned bottom bar with pill-shaped indicator buttons that match the search filters carousel design.

To be mentioned, the standard long version found in almost every other first-party app is now the shorter version, although Gmail uses something even shorter.

After Messages and the web, the Google app is the latest app to get a modern account switcher. Now tapping your profile avatar reveals a switcher that uses Material You with dynamic colors.

The inner side of the account switcher container has several options like search history, deleting the last 15 minutes, results about you, and reminders. And outside is a Google logo at the top, as well as Search, Settings, and your data in Help and Feedback at the bottom.

You can also see an amazing separation on the Setting’s long lists menu of the Google app while the options remain the same. We can say that the new beta update has given a new look to the Google app.

WhatsApp Quick Camera shortcut

WhatsApp has pushed a new beta update for Android users, which brings a camera shortcut directly to the gallery sheet to make it easier to access the camera while sending photos or videos. The fresh beta update arrives with version 2.24.24.23, available through the Google Play Beta Program.

Previously, WhatsApp improved the way users send photo and video albums. With that, users can select multiple photos and videos at once, and add captions to entire albums to make it simpler to share media with context.

The new update is adding even more improvements. The camera shortcut, which used to be in the chat bar, is now available directly inside the gallery sheet. It saves time and makes it easier to capture something new without navigating through multiple steps.

Now, when you’re selecting photos or videos to send, you can quickly switch to the camera without leaving the gallery. This new change might feel like an extra step for some users who were used to accessing the camera with a single tap from the chat bar. However, the update aims to combine both the camera and gallery functions into one place.

Notably, not all users will see this new camera shortcut. If you still have the camera shortcut in the chat bar, you won’t see the one in the gallery sheet. This is to avoid clutter and make the app more organized.

This feature is currently available to a limited number of beta testers, and it will be rolled out to more users in the coming days or weeks.

Google messages Backup feature

Google Messages introduces a new Backup and Restore feature to make it easier for users to back up and restore their text messages, media, and settings directly within the app. This feature’s strings have been spotted in the Google Messages 20241118_02_RC00 beta version.

Currently, Android users back up their messages through Google One at the system level, but this new update lets users manage backups from within Google Messages itself.

The backup system will offer end-to-end encryption, ensuring that your messages are fully secured. Only you will be able to access the backup, with protection provided by your device’s screen lock.

When signing into the app on a new device, your conversations will automatically restore, providing a seamless transition. However, some devices without a screen lock may not be eligible for encrypted backups.

The backup feature is closely associated with your Google Account and Google One storage, which means you’ll need some extra storage space for backups. While users can choose to turn off backups at any time. Turning off the backup will permanently delete your conversations from your Google Account, although they will still be on your device.

You can also choose to back up media only over Wi-Fi, which can help save mobile data. Additionally, Google Messages will allow you to sync messages across different devices as long as you’re signed into your Google Account.

Aside from this, Google Messages recently rolled out the “Double tap heart ‘feature for Android users. This makes it easier to send a red heart emoji in response to messages.
