Google Search begins testing its new AI feature [Photos Included]

Google AI Mode

Google is starting to share its latest experiment, called AI Mode, with some users. This comes right after their big reveal yesterday. For now, people with a Google One AI Premium plan are the first to try it out.

How to Get It

Anyone can sign up for the Search Labs waitlist, but paid members get priority. If you’re one of them, keep an eye out for an email letting you know it’s ready.

What’s AI Mode Like?

When you search for something, you’ll spot a new “AI Mode” button on the left side of the filter options. Tap it to switch from normal results to this fresh setup. On your computer, you can jump straight to it by visiting google.com/aimode. This opens a chat-like screen with a box that says “Ask AI Mode.” A fun detail? The blinking cursor changes between Google’s four colors—blue, red, yellow, and green. You’ll see this on phones, too!

For mobile users, there’s a new button under the search bar on the Home tab, sitting next to Google Lens and Sound Search shortcuts. (It’s not showing up on Android yet, though.) Up in the corner, there’s an “AI Mode history” option that lets you revisit your past searches.

How It Looks and Works

The experience is full of lively animations in Google’s signature colors, especially when you use voice search and wait for answers. Your question pops up at the top, but there’s no search bar above it, which feels odd after years of regular Google. On phones, you’ll see a scrollable list of sources at the top and bottom. Online, it’s a sidebar on the right. Most answers also come with a little link icon.

You can type or talk to AI Mode on your phone, but it only gives text replies for now. The camera input isn’t ready yet. Google says they’re working on cool updates like pictures, videos, and better layouts soon.

Early Days

The design feels basic—like version 1.0—and Google admits it’s a work in progress. They’re eager to tweak it based on what users say during this testing round.

Android 16 brings simpler app controls

Published

Android 16

Google is working on Android 16, and it’s set to make managing apps easier than ever. A new feature spotted in the latest test version lets you tweak app settings right from the app’s info page. This means less digging through menus to change how an app works on your phone.

In the current Android setup, if you want to adjust things like permissions or notifications, you often have to jump between different screens. It’s not hard, but it can feel like a chore. With Android 16, everything you need—permissions, data use, and more—will be in one spot. For example, you could quickly turn off an app’s access to your camera or check how much battery it’s eating up, all without leaving that page.

This change comes from something called “App Settings Panels,” which Google is testing now. It’s not live for everyone yet, but it’s a sign of what’s coming. The idea is to save you time and make your phone feel smoother to use. Imagine opening an app’s info and seeing all the key options laid out simply—no extra taps needed.

There’s more good news: Android 16 might roll out sooner than usual. Some rumors say Google could drop it as early as June 2025, instead of the typical fall release. That’s because they’re speeding up how they build and test updates. Of course, this is still in the works, so the exact date could shift.

For anyone who loves keeping their phone just right, this update looks like a win. Fewer steps to control apps mean less hassle and more time enjoying your device. Keep an eye out—Android 16 could change how you handle your apps for the better!

Published

Pixel 9 Pro

Google’s Pixel 9 is bringing a handy tool called Call Notes, spotted in a recent app update analysis. This feature records phone calls and turns them into text, making it simple to save or share what was said. It’s part of the Google Phone app and could be a game-changer for users who need to keep track of conversations.

With Call Notes, you can create a written version of your call and send it to others via apps like Messages or email. The transcripts might also sync with the Notes app for easy access later. Screenshots from the update show options like “Share transcript” and “Save call note,” proving how user-friendly it is.

This tool seems perfect for people who want to review talks or share details without replaying the whole call. However, it’s still in testing, so not everyone can use it yet. The Pixel 9, set to launch soon, might roll this out fully. For now, it’s an exciting peek at how Google is making call management simpler and smarter.
