More privacy in Google apps

By 8 May 2019No Comments

“Google is once again addressing one of the internet's thorniest problems: privacy. From the annual developer conference in Mountain View (California), the company announced a series of privacy and security news: from the ability to access your account with one click from major products such as Gmail and Maps, to incognito browsing in app; from the more secure privacy control tools in Chrome and the new Android Q operating system, to innovative AI approaches to use less data. To an audience of 7,000 developers, Google also announced the "new generation" of Google Assistant, the voice assistant present on over a billion devices. The rival of Alexa (Amazon) and Siri (Apple) will reside in phones, and won't need the internet. The new Assistant "will understand the questions the moment you say them, and will answer them ten times faster," the company pointed out.

The assistant will also be able to do more things. For example, you will soon be able to book a rental car or movie tickets through Android smartphones thanks to Duplex technology.

Returning to privacy, to access the control page, users will only have to click on their profile picture, which will appear at the top right when using not only Gmail or Drive, but also the search engine and maps, YouTube, the Chrome browser , the voice assistant and Google News.

Still with a view to privacy, incognito browsing that has existed in browsers for years will be extended to some apps on smartphones and tablets: Internet search but also maps, as well as YouTube where it is already present. "
