As we barrel towards the end of 2021, Google has one more major update in store for everyone. The company announced that there are ten new features coming to Android users in an upcoming update, ranging from new widgets to Google Assistant and everywhere in between. The first new feature is called Family Bell, which makes it easy to keep track of daily schedules and reminders with everyone in your home. After setting things up, your various devices will send notifications «when it’s time for important moments throughout the day». You’ll also be able to set individual bell notifications on your own device if there’s something that you specifically need to remember. Next up, we have some new widgets coming to devices courtesy of Google Play Books, YouTube Music, and a new Google Photos People & Pets widget. Here’s a breakdown of what those widgets offer: https://youtu.be/Hp-lGxwPUnI Keep that holiday reading within easy reach, access your full library of books and even keep track of your audiobook progress with the new Google Play Books widget.
