Android 15: Exciting new features on the horizon

Key points:

• Circle to Search Expansion: Soon, you’ll be able to use Google’s Circle to Search feature on messaging bubbles.
• Improved Touchpad Support: Android 15 introduces a new gesture for easier touchpad navigation.
• No More Alarm Annoyances: Shared tablets will get a feature to handle background alarms more smoothly.

Google’s Circle to Search feature, which lets you quickly search for information about anything on your screen, is getting even better. In the upcoming Android 15 update, you’ll be able to use it on messaging bubbles, making it easier to find information related to conversations.

Android 15 is also making it easier to use your tablet with a touchpad. A new gesture will let you drag and drop items more smoothly. Plus, you’ll have more control over touchpad settings, like pointer speed and tap-to-click behavior.

If you share your tablet with others, you’ll appreciate a new feature that helps manage background alarms. When an alarm goes off for a different user, you’ll get a notification to mute it or switch to that user’s profile. This eliminates the frustration of trying to silence an alarm that’s playing in the background.
