These are the new notifications that are appearing in the Google app
In Google they never sit idly by. And it seems that there is always some way to improve their services and applications The latest advances discovered in this regard have to do with the company's application of the same name. Its tool as a search engine and in which is its assistant Google Now And it has started to launch certain notifications alerting the user to changes in the weather, interesting places or sports results in a somewhat more aggressive way.Without limiting himself to his already well-known cards. Is Google up to something?
Apparently, the application Google is testing the new possibility of notifying the user of very specific issues regarding different aspects that could be of interest to him Something that until now he only did by indicating the number of new cards available inside. However, now it has surprised many with independent notifications that appear almost without realizing it, since at the moment they do not have vibration or associated sounds. A mere warning for the user who occasionally looks at the screen of his terminal.
At the moment, and according to our own experience, these notifications focus on drastic changes in the weather aspect.That is, when the appearance of the skies changes, Google launches this silent notification to show if it is cloudy or if it has started to rain, for example. Although outlets like Android Police have also collected sports notifications from some readers who have also discovered this new feature.
Apparently Google would only be testing this tool, testing it with a limited group of users , without appearing in all terminals with operating system Android Therefore, it is possible that their appearance only be temporary, until the company decides whether these special notices stay or go. Although the best of all is that the user can configure this option to not be alerted in any case, avoiding accessing the mobile if one of these notifications is found without be really interested in them.
Just access the Settings menu of the application by clicking on the icon that displays the side menu. Here you just have to look for the section Priority notifications A space where you can customize the melody and vibration of these notifications that Google understands as priority for the user and that it is notifying some users. Simply turn off ringtone and vibration to avoid being disturbed.
With this, the application of Google seems to continue working on ways to reach the user with information of interest before it actively searches for you. A curious trend that continues to evolve the future of your browser and its proactive assistantAnd it is that anticipating the needs of the user is the next step for Internet searches, although it also seems that it will be for this application.We will have to wait and see if Google further develops and refines the operation of these notifications that not everyone expects to find on their mobiles.
