Four new Android features that Google is releasing are not exclusive to its Pixel devices. One other Wear OS bonus function is also listed. Now let's get started.

Firstly, TalkBack, the screen reader for Android, will employ Gemini models "on supported devices" to enable you to hear through audio explanations of images, whether you're viewing photos on social media, in text messages, or your camera roll.

Next, Google has officially released a Circle to Search feature that we previously discussed: the capability to determine the music that is now playing on your phone or nearby.


Third, Chrome now allows you to listen to web pages regardless of what's on them. You may select the language and voice style, as well as your favorite listening speed—just like with podcasts.

Using crowdsourced earthquake detection, the Android Earthquake Alerts System is extending to all 50 states and six territories, offering potentially life-saving alerts mere seconds before the shaking begins. Additionally, you'll receive advice on what to do after the shaking stops.

As we mentioned weeks ago, you can now utilize Google Maps on Wear OS to get offline maps. The maps that you downloaded to your phone can be accessed by your watch. When you're back online, you may use two new shortcuts to view your location on a map with a tap of your watch face or to search for destinations with your voice.
