Pill shape buttons for new meeting and joining meeting. Also side menu, popup dialog and search box in meeting got colored. The app itself should also support Dynamic Colors.
If you have use Meet in Gmail, then you will have seen this redesign and nothing is much surprise for you. Wondering why not Google just push existing user to use it in Gmail, hmm...

Chrome can group visited sites by topic automatically with 'Journeys'
New Google Chrome experiment is testing out "Journeys" which automatically group information and sites you visited by topic.
Rather than searching manually, Google automatically grouped all the info for you and also offer search suggestions. Google gave an example that you are researching for a trip to Yosemite for awhile, "Journeys" will gather all the sites you visited before so you don't need to sift through your browsing history.
It is available to check in

Teacup version of Gboard made by Google, with April Fools homage
Introduction Video | Official Website | Google Japan Blog
A teacup keyboard made by Google, I am wondering who will even use that. Also Google like Japan more +1.
You can fill in drinks in the cup and also used it as a keyboard, so a 2 in 1 combo. And it an actual working keyboard instead of mocking. Google did create a prototype and published instructions on how to make one for yourself on GitHub. The idea of this stuff was likely to be an April Fool in 2020, as written in the video denoscription. (9To5Google)
*Wondering what next for such a weird product like this by Google, An actual working pen which is also a mouse? It will be interesting, just my imaginative creation anyway.

Google Search officially end support for Internet Explorer
Google Search is no longer officially supporting Internet Explorer starting today, but good news is that you will still be able to use it.
Your experience with Google on Internet Explorer is going to be a little worse, as you are getting the old fallback design. This means you won't get stuff like coronavirus detail info, knowledge panel and many more. it just going to be a simple search website.
Matle Ubl, a software engineer at Google, confirmed that Google Search is no longer supporting Internet Explorer. In his tweet, he also mentioned that the team "did the math", calculated the cost of maintaining proper support for the browser compared to the value of keeping customers. Anyway, be thankful you can still search with the browser if you are limited to using it. (9To5Google)

YouTube added 'Continue Watching' feature, making it easier to resume watching video
This should have easily being added by YouTube earlier, but better late than never, YouTube now let you quickly resume watching your video that you closed on your phone and other devices.
If you are watching a video and later quit the YouTube app on your Android or iOS device, opening it on the web will display the video you just watched on your phone. In the mini popup player, you will see Continue Playing at the bottom of the video noscript instead of the channel name.
On the Android TV and other TV operating system YouTube app, the feature also works too. On the mobile app, you will not be treated with the "Continue watching" feature though, for now. (9To5Google)

YouTube Music will rollout free background listening feature to Canada users on Nov 3
Background listening used to be a Premium subnoscription exclusive perk on YouTube services, but seems like Google wanted to make it a free access feature, starting with Canada first.
From November 3, YouTube Music users in Canada on Android and iOS will be able to use background listening for free. Finally you can let your screen off or use other applications when listening to music.
Ads will still be part of the experience, something similar to how Spotify works. Automatically shuffles albums, songs, and playlists is part of this rollout too. (9To5Google)

Finally you can edit time and date of uploaded images/videos in Google Photos on Android device
I am not aware of this but anyway, you can get to edit time and date for uploaded images and videos in Google Photos.
Previously, this action can be done on the desktop web or other third party solutions. By the way, one limitation, only uploaded photos & videos are eligible for the time & date editing tool. Local files are not supported unfortunately, so one disappointment here.
Open an uploaded photo and swipe up, you will see a pencil icon besides the date and time. Pressing it will open up a small panel with date and time mentioned. The time and date editing tool also featured Material You redesign as expected. (9To5Google)

Google Pixel Hub Discussion Group opened
Mmm... finally the moment arrived. The group should be open alongside the channel do, but like there almost no discussion for the first few days, so we decided to close and wait till the channel grew bigger, and this is the time.
Yo, also thanks for the massive growth recently, I thought this channel is reaching 200 at the end of the year but seem like this milestone is done. Thanks @LuZhNan for sharing, in return here his (chinese blog) channel: @gcjiriji.
Everyone would be able to join in the conversation as everything will be in English. For those who are really active in these type of discussion, highly recommend join in the group and have discussion about your Pixel or share some new Google apps feature you found, highly appreciated.
Group link: t.me/PixelHubChat
As more apps are getting Material You redesign, Android 12 is around the corner and Pixel 6 launch is near, there should be lots of stuff to be discuss, so hope it can be active :)
Android 12 launching officially soon according to the leaks. I am estimating it releasing on October 4, 10AM PT (5PM GMT), which is the time that Google like to release monthly security patch, which is around this time when this message got sent out.
Might close group again if it is still in dead mode for the next few days. So hope more people can share it out, thanks for supporting us.
