Android Gets Even Smarter with New AI-Powered Features ...
Starting now, new AI features and more from Android can help you express yourself authentically and connect your digital life with real-world experiences. From audio captions that capture intensity and emotion, to image descriptions enhanced with Gemini, to clearer scans in Google Drive, check out the latest updates:
Say HELLO to better captions
Expressive Captions automatically capture the intensity and emotion of how someone is speaking — from volume and tone to sounds that say more than words. These will appear across your phone’s apps on everything from streaming to social to video messages, only on Android.
Read more about Expressive Captions in our blog post.
Hear image descriptions read aloud, enhanced by Gemini models
Designed with people in blind and low-vision communities, Image Q&A in Lookout now uses Gemini 1.5 Pro to provide even richer, more helpful image descriptions compared to previous versions. Simply take, upload or open a photo in the app to hear the caption read aloud in a natural-sounding voice.
Grab a slice of the new sticker combos and keyboard
Remix your favorite emoji into new pizza-themed sticker combos and share them with friends using Emoji Kitchen in Gboard. Try Gboard’s new glide typing keyboard Clearflow, optimized for speed and accuracy.
Share pictures, videos and more with a QR code
Your best photos are meant to be shared. QR codes in Quick Share make it easier to transfer pictures, videos, and documents. Simply select the media file you want to share, tap the QR code, and have others scan it for a secure transfer.
Snap, save, and share high-quality document scans
Your scans are now crisper and clearer with auto-enhancements in Google Drive. From receipts to documents to ID cards, your scans are optimized to improve contrast and white balance, and remove shadows and blurring — with no manual editing needed.
Get help from Gemini across more of your favorite apps
Gemini on Android is getting a boost with new Extensions that connect to your favorite apps and services. Check out the latest features on Android now.
