While we waiting for Android 12 will be officially released later this year, Google has a a lot of changes and updates coming to Android this spring.
following Update 2019 for Chrome, Google is bringing it now Password check to Android to help alert you to potential data leaks or breaches that could expose existing passwords to hackers. Password verification will be launched on devices with Android 9 and later and will automatically verify passwords already saved in Android along with new ones. If Google detects that your password has been exposed, you will receive an alert suggesting that you change it.
Password checking is important, but let’s get to the good stuff: Google Maps is finally getting long-expected the official dark mode. And in Google Messages on Android 7 and later, Google adds the ability to send scheduled messages, similar to Gmail scheduled email function. All you have to do is write a message normally, then press and hold the send button, which brings up a new menu that allows you to set an exact time for when your text comes out.
Even the Google Assistant gets a small upgrade, with the ability to make calls, set timers and alarms, and play music on your phone using voice commands. This means that your Android phone can now double as a smart speaker, and helps you expand your role as a Google Assistant as simply answering questions with these additional automation features.
