Google Search add built-in guitar tuner
Google Search is not just a platform for gathering information, it a fun, helpful, useful platform. Google recently added guitar tuner in it, which you can tune your guitar up to standard tuning in a few minutes.
To get access to the tool, search for "Google tuner" in Google Search on your mobile or desktop. This tool will require microphone permission in order to work. Depending on your background noise and the device's mic quality, sometimes you may find it not able to pick up the correct tune or maybe not able to pick up at all.
Next time you want to tune your guitar, just go to Google over there and search up for it. No ads, simple interface, easy to use, recommend for starter. (Android Police)

YouTube engagement graph for videos in action
So earlier we have shown you that YouTube will show you graph indicate how users view the video, with the peak graph showing most user watched it. And people at 9To5Google got access to the new experiment.
So in the video, this is how it should works on mobile and will work similarly to the desktop web too. While scrubbing the video to a different section, you will see graph of how other people view the video, the higher the peak, the more people has viewed it. YouTube will also hint "Most Viewed" when you scrub through section that has higher peak graph.
It will be useful for people with a few amount time to watch the video. They could just jump to the "Most Viewed" and check out the highlights of the video. So far the rollout is still quite limited and will take a few months time to roll it out to everyone probably. (9To5Google)

Digital Car Key support to arrive with new Play Services update later
Google earlier promised to bring Digital Car Key support to Android 12, and we don't see it anywhere till now in the latest Android 12 beta builds. Things might get change as Google preparing with a Google Play Services update.
In v21.39.15 APK teardown, XDA found new strings related to the Digital Car Key feature. The feature will use your device's NFC to unlock your car. The code also reveals the feature will only be available to several devices and region. Once the feature starts to roll out, users will be able to install digital car key into the device via notification popup. A string also suggest that the digital car key will be stored in the Google Pay app.
Google Pixel that are getting Android 12 stable later this month will receive the feature most likely. More info could be show in the Pixel 6 launch event probably. (XDA Developers)
