Google will launch 6 new features for Android phones, including scheduled messaging

Google today announced six new features coming to Android smartphones: an integrated password checkup tool, scheduled messages (meaning messages are sent at a specified time), improved TalkBack, improved Google Assistant functionality, and more.

Keep your accounts secure with Password Checkup on Android

On Android phones, users can save passwords to their Google accounts to use the autofill feature. Google has now integrated password leak checks into the feature to help users detect whether their accounts are safe.

Send content in messages on a schedule, write text and send it later

Google has now decided to roll out scheduled messaging for phones running Android 7 and above. With scheduled messaging, you can write a message in advance at your convenience and send it at the right time.

No need to look at the screen with TalkBack

For those who are blind or cannot see the screen, a new version of Android's screen reader, TalkBack, is now available. The new version of TalkBack uses voice feedback and gestures to make Android more user-friendly, allowing you to experience the full phone experience without having to look at the screen.

Get more done hands-free with Google Assistant

Now, users only need to say "Hey Google, set an alarm" or "Hey Google, play pop music on Spotify", etc., and Google Assistant can help you complete most of the tasks.

Google Maps Dark Theme

Here are the steps to turn it on: Settings >> Theme >> Always on dark theme.

Drive Better with Android Auto

Domestic users may not know much about it. Android Auto is Google's driving function. It will now promote multiple new features to phones with Android 6.0 or higher in the next few days, and will then be available on compatible models.
