Google app 7.25 beta has started rolling-out to users on the Play Store. The release of version 7.25 of the app comes only a week after the release of version 7.24. As usual, there are no user-facing changes to be found. However, an APK teardown of the app hints at an "Google Assistant for Households" feature. Users may soon be able to have email notifications on the Google Home as well. Also, Google is working on custom routines and a custom search widget. Finally, there are more strings for smart displays that have Google Assistant. Let's take a look at the relevant strings:
Google Assistant for Households
Currently, Google Assistant is intended for a single user. Users can setup multiple accounts on devices like the Google Home, but the accounts are separated from each other. Google is now developing a shared version of Assistant called "Google Assistant for Households," although its differentiating features are unknown for now. The string notes: "You and your household are a team. Your Google Assistant can now treat you like one, helping you work and play together."
Here are the relevant strings:
<string name="assistant_settings_household_setup_splash_screen_button_label">Continue</string> <string name="assistant_settings_household_setup_splash_screen_subtitle">You and your household are a team. Your Google Assistant can now treat you like one, helping you work and play together.</string> <string name="assistant_settings_household_setup_splash_screen_title">Google Assistant for Households</string> <string name="assistant_settings_household_title">Your Household</string> Email on the Google Home
Google announced that the Google Home would soon add notifications for reminders, flight updates, and traffic updates back at I/O 2017. Strings in version 7.25 beta of the Google app show that "personal results" will allow users' voice to get their email, calendar, help with payments, and more on their device. The functionality of email on Google Home isn't detailed, but it will likely include notifications. Here are the relevant strings:
<string name="personal_results_action_button">Turn on</string> <string name="personal_results_cancel_button">No Thanks</string> <string name="personal_results_explanation">"Voice Match is set up on your Assistant speaker. Now you can turn on personal results so you can use your voice to get your email, calendar, help with payments, and more on this device. You can turn off personal results in Assistant settings."</string> <string name="personal_results_title">Get personal results with Voice Match</string> Custom routines in Google Assistant
Routines in Google Assistant finally launched a few weeks ago. However, custom routines still haven't been enabled. New strings in Google app 7.25 beta show that users will be able to change the order of actions in a particular custom routine. Here are the strings for the same:
<string name="user_defined_action_reorder_description">Drag to change the order of actions in this routine.</string> <string name="user_defined_action_reorder_title">Change order</string> Custom search widget
Previous Google app versions have hinted that Google is developing a custom search widget that allows users to edit its appearance. Strings in version 7.25 beta of the Google app indicate that this feature is close to launch, as they detail how users will able to customize the search widget. When the feature goes live, users will need to go to Google App menu > Customize widget, or Google App settings > Widget > Customize your widget. Here are the relevant strings:
<string name="swc_drawer_content">Go to Google App menu > Customize widget</string> <string name="swc_settings_content">Go to Google App settings > Widget > Customize your widget</string> <string name="customize_feed">Customize Feed</string> <string name="customize_widget_summary">Edit the appearance of your homescreen search widget</string> <string name="customize_widget_title">Customize your widget</string> Analytics in the alpha and beta channels
A new description for the alpha and beta channels notes that by being invited to try new features before they are publicly available, you as a user permit the developer to identify you and your use of the app "in some cases". Here is the relevant string:
<string name="alpha_beta_channel_close_channel_description">"You've been invited to try new features before they're publicly available. By proceeding you are agreeing that the developer can identify you and your use of the app in some cases."</string> Google Assistant smart displays get new functionality
Quartz is the code-name for the software platform that powers smart displays which have the Google Assistant. They have been receiving feature additions with new versions of the Google app, and version 7.25 beta is no exception. They can now see images of restaurants, map of restaurants, as well as interior street view and panorama of restaurants. There are new strings about its shopping functionality.
<string name="quartz_local_place_detail_image_tile_content_description">Images of the restaurant</string> <string name="quartz_local_place_detail_map_tile_content_description">Map of the restaurant</string> <string name="quartz_local_place_detail_street_view_tile_content_description">Interior street view panorama of the restaurant</string> <string name="quartz_meals_home_background_image_description">quartz_meals_home_background_image_description</string> <string name="quartz_meals_home_recipe_site_icon_description">quartz_meals_home_recipe_site_icon_description</string> <string name="quartz_shopping_cart_quantity">%s items</string> Let us know in the comments if you spot anything new in the app update, and follow our APK Teardown tag for more articles like this!
