Everything we do revolves around keeping you secure online. We’re releasing updates on this effort, as well as some key new collaborations, on Safer Internet Day. We’re also unveiling new increased browsing security for everyone, as well as our toughest safeguards to date for high-risk individuals and groups.

Educating you on how to be safe when using the internet

We’ve teamed up with Khan Academy, a non-profit educational institution, to create free online tutorials to teach individuals how to be safe online. We’ll provide $5 million to Khan Academy so that it may develop accessible, understandable, and practical online safety content for its 18 million monthly users all around the world. We know people are looking for tips on how to protect themselves online because searches for “how to stop identity theft” increased by over 110% last year, and our previous work in educating people about online safety has shown us the positive impact this can have. To expand our impact, we’re excited to be partnering with Khan Academy to make internet safety more accessible to everyone.

 protect your personal information

We provide simple, easy-to-use tools like Security Checkup to provide you concrete tips on how to make your Google Account more secure. Over 150 million individuals were automatically registered in two-step verification by 2021. (2SV). We’ve witnessed a 50% reduction in accounts being hacked as a consequence of our work.

We’re announcing something new today:

⁕More security for high-risk users: For high-risk users such as election workers, journalists, and human rights activists, we are the first choice. We’re stepping up our efforts to protect these high-risk users ahead of the upcoming 2022 US midterm elections. We’ve formed the Campaign Security Project in collaboration with groups from all sides of the political spectrum, giving them the resources they need to instruct candidates and campaign staff on how to be secure online. Veterans Campaign, Collective Future, Women’s Public Leadership Network, LGBTQ Victory Institute, Center for American Ideas, University of San Francisco, Emerge, Latino Victory, and others are among the organisations participating. This will complement our current efforts with Defending Digital Campaigns, the USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative, and Cybersecurity for State Leaders.

⁕Enhanced Safe Browsing at the Account Level: You’ll be able to opt into Google’s account-level improved safe surfing feature next month, which will provide you with the most comprehensive security protection against threats you experience on the web and against your Google Account. Soon, you’ll be able to enable this feature automatically during a Security Checkup or manually in your account settings.

The Google Pixel 6a has been the topic of some strong speculation ahead of its likely arrival in May 2022. Its design and specifications have also been rumoured. Indeed, the Pixel 6a‘s specifications and renderings were leaked a few weeks ago, and Google has now teased a small audience with a colouring book featuring the smartphone.

The group is made up of dedicated customers and  Google brand customers. The Nest Audio product was packaged with a device that looked like a coloring book from the outside. Google then said the device could be painted, although no further details were provided.

The Google Pixel 6a is a mid-range smartphone with some notable improvements over its predecessor. The current leak illustrates Google’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of their research efforts, as previous renderings showed a gadget with expanded capability. As the launch date approaches, we anticipate Google to provide a few additional leaks and teases.

The major question is what device to replace the Apple Watch, which has been on my wrist for almost as long. However, considering the long-awaited Google Pixel Watch is slated to be introduced this year, this may not be such an issue.

According to Prosser, the Google Pixel Watch will be launched at Google I/O.

Now, Prosser has changed the date  again and says  Google will make the Pixel Watch official on Thursday, May 26, adding that this is the “first time we’ve seen a fixed date on the device behind the scenes.” Based on the traditional  Google I/O developer conference dates, the intro could take place at the event. Just like with  Pixel phones, testing Android’s capabilities on the phone, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Google do the same for Wear OS with Pixel Watch. 

While not much is known about the specifics of the watch, marketing images and renders both show a round display with 2.5D glass and not too large bezels. on the right side of the watch. While we’re unable to determine what health-related features will be found on the phone, one of the renders shows a watch face with a heart rate reading displayed in large numbers. The screen is colorful and appears to use Android 12’s Material You design, which includes bright pastel hues. The effect on a smartphone with a 6.4 inch or 6. The 7-inch screen is one thing, but the effect on a much smaller smartwatch is another and it lights up the watch face.

Google’s trust in Wear OS has been restored.

The Pixel Watch was slow to come and go in 2019, while the Pixel 4 series was supposed to present Apple and Samsung with a legitimate challenger, a last-second rumour suggested the smartwatch would appear at the Made by Google event. of this year with the feature-rich Pixel 4 lineup. But the Watch never showed up, and it’s said that one of the reasons for this disappointing turn of events was  Google’s lack of faith in the Watch OS. In November 2019, Google’s parent company Alphabet announced it would spend $2.1 billion to buy Fitbit and said it hoped the acquisition would help improve Wear OS. 

At last year’s Google I/O, Samsung and Google surprised many when they collaborated to improve Wear OS to make apps open and capable, while improving battery life in smartwatches. by Sammy. The partnership between Samsung and Google included taking the best features of Samsung’s Tizen OS and Google’s Wear OS and combining them. As Google said in a tweet on May 18, “We’re combining the best of @wearosbygoogle and @SamsungMobile Tizen into one unified wearable platform. Apps will start faster, battery life will be longer, and you’ll have more choices than ever before, from devices to apps and watch faces. #GoogleIO.

According to new information, Google’s next Pixel Watch will be powered by a Samsung Exynos CPU and will have the next-generation Google Assistant. Before we get into the potential features of Google’s impending Wear OS smartwatch, one issue that remains unresolved is how the firm will brand the gadget.

This resulted in annual feature tags like “PIXEL_EXPERIENCE_2021” for the Pixel 6 series, as well as tags like “PIXEL_EXPERIENCE_2020_MIDYEAR” for the Pixel 5a.

Wear OS’s Next-Gen Assistant

That since the launch of the Google Pixel 4, the Pixel series phones have included “the next generation assistant.” This version of the Assistant is unique in that it processes your speech directly on your device rather than through Google’s servers, resulting in incredible speed. The ability to accomplish things in your app with only your voice, such as filtering a gallery in Google Photos, is the most essential feature of the Next Generation Assistant. In addition, some operations, such as updating phone settings, maybe completed totally offline by the next-generation assistant.

While browsing through various Google apps, our team found references to “Rohan,” reported by Front Page Tech and Business Insider as a codename associated with the Pixel Watch. Thanks to these references, we were able to directly link “Rohan” to the addition of the next-generation assistant to Wear OS devices. Since the Next Generation Assistant is still a Pixel exclusive, this also indicates that “Rohan” is a “Pixel” watch.

Exynos chip as a possibility

The next-generation assistant must be able to process speech directly on the device in order to operate like it does on Pixel phones. This would very certainly necessitate the use of a high-end smartwatch chip. We found evidence that the gadget might be powered by a Samsung Exynos CPU when hunting for references to the codename “Rohan” in several locations in Wear OS Code. It’s unclear whether this is the same Exynos W920 processor seen in the Galaxy Watch 4. While not confirmed, the use of an Exynos processor in a Pixel Watch wouldn’t be surprising. Samsung and Google collaborated closely on the development and distribution of Wear OS 3, with the Galaxy Watch 4 acting as the official launch device for the new Wear OS version based on Android 11.

The high-end Exynos chip, the Galaxy Watch 4 is the current pinnacle. what an Android smartwatch can be. Beyond that, the Google Tensor chips that power the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are basically Samsung Exynos chips that are built into components designed by Google such as the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). It’s possible that Google will take an Exynos chip, but some of its own hardware in it, and brand it as a Google Tensor chip. Or, it could just be released with an Exynos branded chip.
