Google Chrome for Android is moving the button to open tabs in the tab switcher

Google Chrome for Android is relocating the button that opens new tabs in the tab switcher page. Here's a screenshot.

Now, a FAB appears in the bottom right to open a new tab. Previously the button to open a new tab was located in the top left or behind the overflow menu in the top right, both of which might have been hard to reach.

This change has been available for some people in beta/dev versions of Chrome for a few weeks now, but today is the first I'm seeing it i...

The Google Play Store is rolling out an auto-open after install feature

Google is starting to roll out a "turn on auto-open" button in the Play Store that lets you auto open an app after it's done installing. Screenshots

If you toggle this, the text changes to "automatically open after install" and the app in question will open after 5 seconds of being installed. A notification with a countdown will appear so you'll know the app is about to open.

This feature was enabled by AssembleDebug a few weeks ago but is now rolling out for som...

Google Lens is rolling out a new "ask about this video" feature

You can now send a video to Google to ask questions about it.

If you open Google Lens on Android and hold down the shutter button, it'll record a short video that you can ask a question about. Here's a demo.

If you're in a region where AI overviews are enabled, then you'll get an AI-generated response to your question.

Google announced this feature back at I/O in May but it's started to roll out for some users in the last few days. LMK if you have it.

Google is rolling out a new Quick Settings tile that lets you quickly open the Google Wallet app on any page

Screenshot.

The reason this tile is needed is because some OEMs removed the AOSP Wallet Quick Settings tile as well as the Quick Access Wallet feature. And since Google Wallet itself didn't provide its own QS tile until now, you'd need to manually open the app or add a lock screen shortcut (if possible).

With the dedicated Google Wallet tile, though, you can open Wallet from any page. You'll need to authenticate to open i...
