Just a day ago, Google announced the release of Chrome OS 90, and according to the update server, a good majority of Chromebooks should be ready to download the update. Over the next few days, we will destroy the update to give you all the unannounced features that may be hidden in this release. For now, there are some good things to cover in the official release notes, and we wanted to take a moment to share them with you. As with many recent updates, Chrome OS 90 has some productivity-focused features and I’m sure many users they waited for one or more of these instruments to land in the Stable Channel. So without further ado, here’s what’s new in Chrome OS 90.
Improved launcher search
If you tap the “All” button, the search key will also appear, the app launcher will appear and you can search for apps as well as files from your local storage and Drive or even perform a Google search. With Chrome OS 90, the launcher search feature will now include useful results, such as weather, math, or even give you an action price when you enter the action symbol. Quite useful for me, because I often forget that my Chromebook even has a computer installed.

Diganostic application
We’ve been following the Chrome OS diagnostic application for months, and this morning we discovered that SWA (the system’s web application) will eventually add the Chrome Network Health tools used to test device connectivity. This special feature is still in progress, but the diagnostic app is official here in Chrome OS 90 and includes useful information such as your device-specific CPU / memory configuration, battery charge and status, temperature, and a handful of tests. system to ensure that resources are not wasted. If you find that your Chromebook fails some of these hardware tests, you can send feedback to the developers directly from the diagnostic application.
Scan from the printer
Probably one of the most interesting features for both educators and workers, the long-awaited scanning tool has finally reached the Stable channel. As long as you have a compatible network printer, you can open the Scan app on your Chromebook and scan files to your local storage or Google Drive. The application will detect the available DPI settings of the printer and give you a preview of the scanned documents right in the application. Very useful and something that Chrome OS desperately needed to hang on to its competitors.
Live subtitles
Live subtitling has been “live” on the Chrome browser for some time now, but in the coming weeks, Google will launch the feature in the Chrome browser on the Chrome operating system. This will allow real-time live subtitles on any audio media and can be accessed through the Accessibility menu in the system tray or in the settings menu of the Chrome operating system. That’s about the “official” update, but stay tuned. I’m sure there will be more to discover in the latest version of the Chrome operating system and we don’t want you to miss it. To see if your device is ready to upgrade, go to the Chrome operating system settings menu and click About Chrome operating system, or you can visit this helpful website to see if your model displays version 90.
