Google has announced several new features for Android and Wear OS devices in its latest feature drop. You can edit sent messages in the Google Messages app and try the new Favorites widget.
Google has announced seven new features for Android devices after an AI-packed month with features like AI Overviews, Ask Photos, real-time scam detection, and Project Astra. The search giant now lets you edit RCS messages in Google Messages up to 15 minutes after they are sent.
Instead of using an asterisk in your conversations, you can tap and hold a message in the app to correct typos or add missing words. The ability to edit sent messages was reportedly in development at least since December last year and the feature was spotted in beta testing by some users earlier this month. Speaking of messaging, Google will also roll out some new Emoji Kitchen sticker combinations on the Gboard app.
A feature coming soon called Instant Hotspot will do away with the need for typing passwords when connecting an Android tablet or Chromebook to your phone’s hotspot.
