Google has recently announced a series of new features for Android and WearOS in their June feature drop, following their announcements at Google I/O 2023. These updates include new Android widgets, the Reading Practice feature, and much more.

One of the key updates is the introduction of ‘Reading Practice’ in Google Play Books. This new feature is designed to help you enhance your vocabulary and comprehension skills using your Android smartphone or tablet. It monitors spoken words in real time and provides definitions of unfamiliar words. Ebooks with Reading Practice will carry a “Practice” badge on Google Play Books and is currently available with thousands of children’s ebooks.

WearOS has also received a significant update that improves Spotify integration, bringing the Spotify DJ AI directly to your wrist. Simply press play and let Spotify DJ deliver a curated lineup of music, episodes of your favorite podcasts, and songs from your heavy rotation. Additionally, new tiles and watch-face shortcuts have been introduced.

Google Keep for WearOS now allows you to view your pinned notes and to-do lists directly from your wrist, eliminating the need to reach for your smartphone. Commuters in Washington, D.C., and the San Francisco Bay Area can now import SmarTrip and Clipper cards to Google Wallet for easy Tap and Pay.

Google has also introduced three new Android widgets to make information and entertainment more accessible. These include the Google Finance widget for stock insights, the Google TV widget for recommended suggestions, and the Google News widget to keep you updated on the latest developments.

Google’s Emoji Kitchen for Gboard now offers new aquatic-themed emoji combinations, allowing you to remix your favorite emojis to create unique stickers. Lastly, Google’s Dark Web Report is now live for most Google Accounts in the U.S. This feature allows you to check if your Gmail has been part of any data breach and leak on the dark web, providing insights on how to protect yourself online. This feature will be expanded to 20 more countries in the coming months.

These updates are part of Google’s ongoing efforts to enhance your Android and WearOS experience. We look forward to seeing how these new features will transform our digital interactions.
