Google’s big updates: calling apps and document tabs
Calling Apps on Android Auto:
One of the most requested features for Android Auto has been the ability to use third-party calling apps. Currently, you can only use your phone’s default dialer, which can be limiting if you prefer to use a different app for your calls. However, it seems like Google is finally working on adding support for third-party calling apps. This means that in the future, you may be able to use apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Zoom for your calls on Android Auto.
This is a significant update that will give users more flexibility and control over their calling experience. It will also be useful for people who use multiple calling apps for different purposes. For example, you may use WhatsApp for personal calls and Skype for work calls. With support for third-party calling apps, you can use the app that is most appropriate for the situation.
Google Docs Gets a New Look:
Google Docs has a new feature that makes it easier to organize your documents. It’s called “document tabs.” Think of it like having different sheets in a spreadsheet. You can create, rename, and rearrange these tabs to keep your documents organized.
This is a helpful feature for both writers and viewers. Writers can use tabs to organize their thoughts and keep track of different sections of their documents. Viewers can use tabs to navigate to specific sections of the document more easily.
Document tabs are especially useful for longer documents with multiple sections. For example, a marketing manager could use tabs to organize a campaign brief into sections for budget, goals, and creative ideas. A sales leader could use tabs to organize pitch templates into sections for different industries or territories.
Document tabs are also helpful for documents that are shared with multiple people. By using tabs, you can make it easier for others to find the information they need.
In addition to creating, renaming, and rearranging tabs, you can also duplicate tabs and link directly to tabs. This makes it easy to create multiple versions of a document or to share specific sections of a document with others.
