Google launches Google Go in India and Indonesia

-
Google has launched Google Go, a streamlined version of the Google Search app designed primarily for Android Go Edition devices. The app has currently released only in India and Indonesia.


Google Go is designed to make searching simpler and easier for those on slow connections or new to the internet. Opening the app shows you options to search, do a voice search, search for images, search for GIFs, videos, translation and more.


You can also place shortcuts for your favorite services here and you can choose from a massive list. If you have an app for that service tapping its icon will just launch the app or otherwise it will take you to its website.

The app is also designed to search in two languages at once and with a one tap you can swap the search results between the two languages.

Apart from that, Google also announced for the JioPhone. Launched earlier this year, JioPhone is a basic feature phone launched by Reliance in India that's meant to bring fast 4G internet connectivity to the masses. Being a feature phone, there aren't a lot of apps on it but you can now get Google Assistant on it in English and Hindi, making it easy to do searches or use other phone functions like calling, texting, playing music and videos using just your voice.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used.
