Google Now now incorporates some of the improvements seen in Android KitKat
Although Android 4.4, or KitKat as it is also known, has been hard to come by after months of rumors,Google seems not to want to keep users waiting to enjoy some of its features. For this reason, it has been launching for a few days updates of its main applications and tools loaded with some of the news that will be enjoyed in Android KitKatSmall novelties that also reach Google Search and, more specifically, the assistant Google Now, one of the medium-term strengths of this company.
This is how a new update of this application has been launched, which comes with more content to report. And we must not lose sight of the fact that the key function of Google Now is to offer information of interest for the user even when he is not actively looking for it, surprising with its notifications and smart cards, with all the necessary content for transport, weather and many other issues. All in an automatic way, knowing the tastes and interests of the user thanks to their daily use of the terminal.
In this way, Google Now now also has cards that proactively inform of new posts from the user's favorite web pagesOther types of cards are those that present the user with Internet articles about topics and people for which the user has shown interest, either by performing a search on Google, or by performing some other type of related query. But they are not the only new card types. Along with them, other television channels have been included to inform about movies and series of the user's tastethat are broadcast when he is at home. All this so you don't miss any content of your interest.
Other new cards or information that this assistant can handle is the result of matches rugby sports, traffic warnings related to the application Waze to alert of possible problems on the road and even warnings of packageOf course, we must bear in mind that, for the moment, not all these cards are active in Spain with the update. So we will have to wait a little longer.
In addition to these contents, Google Now now has animationsin your use. Small visual issues that make more pleasant and attractive to use, as opposed to simply presenting the cards on the wall. There is also a new button at the bottom of the main screen to access reminders In addition, the possibility of recovering cards already archived by mistake or accidentally has been included. Finally, a conversation function has been introduced for this assistant that would ask to specify the information that the user consults.
In short, an update that continues to enhance this assistant but, as up to now, will not be completely effective in SpainAnd it is that there are still many issues to refine before it arrives in this country. The update has already been released progressive, arriving through Google Play for terminals Android in the next few days and completely free
