WhatsApp Themes: A Personal Touch
Ever wanted to give your WhatsApp chats a unique look? Well, you might be in luck soon! WhatsApp is working on a feature that lets you choose your preferred colors and wallpapers for your chat bubbles. This means you can customize your app to match your style or mood.
Google Meet Gets Smarter with AI
Google Meet is also getting a major upgrade. The app is introducing an AI-powered feature that automatically summarizes your meetings and creates detailed notes. This will save you time and help you remember important points from your discussions. While this feature is currently available on desktops, it’s expected to make its way to smartphones soon.
The Future of Messaging and Collaboration
These new features are just a glimpse into the future of messaging and collaboration. As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more innovative ways to communicate and work together.
Key points:

- Gemini Live, Google’s AI assistant, is now available for free Android users.
- Pixel 6 and later devices will get Android 15, but Pixel 6/6 Pro won’t get future updates.
Android 15 Delayed
Google’s latest Android update, Android 15, is taking a bit longer to reach Pixel phones. While it was released for developers in September, it won’t be available for Pixel users until October 15th. This delay is likely due to Google wanting to make sure the update is as bug-free as possible.
Gemini Live Goes Free
In other Google news, Gemini Live, the company’s AI assistant, is now free for Android users. This means you can use Gemini to help you with tasks like writing emails, summarizing articles, or even translating languages.
Pixel 6 and Later
The Pixel 6 and later devices will be the first to get Android 15. However, this will also be the last guaranteed update for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. While they will continue to receive security updates, they won’t get any new features after Android 15.
Key Points:

Google Calendar on Chrome’s New Tab Page:
Google Workspace users will soon see their Google Calendar on the New Tab Page in Chrome. This will make it easier to see upcoming meetings and join them quickly. You’ll also see your daily schedule below the calendar.
Circle to Search Expanding to More Devices:
Circle to Search, a feature that lets you search by drawing circles around objects in your photos, is expanding to more Android devices. This feature was previously limited to Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices, but now it’s coming to Tecno and Xiaomi devices.
