Google will now assist its young readers in improving their reading skills. Users can find thousands of ebooks on Google Play Books for children and can access the “Practice Badge” to get real-time assistance. Google will pronounce unknown words, give its users the correct pronunciation of the mispronounced words, and will give them instant feedback.
Three New Widgets
For better accessibility, Google has now introduced three new widgets – Google TV, Google Finance, and Google News, that can be added to the home screen on your smartphone or tablet devices. Users will be able to find personalized suggestions for movies or TV shows via Google TV, track the price of their selected stocks via Google Finance, and get curated headlines via Google News.

With the help of the Wear OS smartwatch, users of Washington D.C. and the San Francisco Bay Area can tap and pay using the SmarTrip and Clipper Cards from Google Wallet.
Google Keep for Wear OS
Users can now type in notes or make a to-do list with the help of Google Keep for Wear OS. They won’t need a pen or paper but just their Wear OS smartwatch.
New Emoji Customization
Users can now customize their favorite emojis with the help of the Emoji Kitchen and can send them as messages via Google’s Gboard.
Dark Web Scan
Google had introduced this feature earlier to its users in the US and they were able to scan and check whether their Google account has been exposed on the dark web or not. Google One users are also able to check for more additional personal information as well. Now in the coming months, Google has planned to expand the feature to 20 more countries.
More updates are still on the way as promised by Google but in the meantime, check out these exciting newly announced features on your smartphone, tablet, and on your Wear OS smartwatch.
