Google’s team of developers rapidly working on the applications and services offered by the Mountain View giant. Check the latest updates from Pixel Camera, Google Messages and more.
Pixel Camera Small Update
From time to time the Pixel Camera also receives an update and in the past few hours a new one has been released .
At the moment it is not clear what new features have been introduced and it is likely that it is a sort of preparatory update for the implementation of new features.
New graphics for Google Messages
The Google Messages developer team has started releasing a redesign of the text compose field that features a dedicated shortcut bar.
The new interface features the emoji button on the far left, followed by the text field and then the buttons for Magic Compose, the gallery (which has a new icon) and the “+” button while the voice recorder has a separate button off the pill.
Here is the old interface compared to the new one
Additionally, when you start typing, there’s a new UI split into two lines: the text field is at the top while a bar keeps all the shortcuts on the same strip.
These new features are already available in the latest beta version, available in the Google Play Store.
YouTube adds real-time counts
The YouTube Android app currently shows likes and views, but that information doesn’t change as you watch the video.
