This time around, the developer preview has been announced a few months early as Google is moving towards an earlier rollout and more frequent updates. “This is the start of Android having more frequent API releases as part of our effort to drive faster innovation in apps and devices,” said Matthew McCullough, VP of Product Management, Android Developer. <h2><keyword id="23382758" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Android-16-update" source="Orion">Android 16 update</keyword> rollout</h2>Starting with Android 16, Google plans to roll out two major Android API updates. The Android 16 is planned to be launched in Q2 2025, with a secondary update in Q4 2025. The revised update timeline is designed to better align with device launch schedules. “We’re planning the major release a quarter earlier (Q2 rather than Q3 in prior years) to better align with the schedule of device launches across our ecosystem so that more devices can get the major release of Android sooner,” McCullough said. Users will get smaller updates with features between the two API updates. “We'll continue to have quarterly Android releases. The Q1 and Q3 updates in-between the API releases will provide incremental updates to help ensure continuous quality,” McCullough added. <h2>Android 16 Developer Preview features</h2><h3>Embedded photo picker</h3>Google has added a new photo picker that allows users to grant apps access to certain images and videos, instead of granting access to the entire media library. <h3>Health records</h3>The developer preview of Health Connect contains an early version of APIs supporting health records. This allows apps to read and write medical records in FHIR format with explicit user consent. This API is currently in an early access program. <h3>Privacy Sandbox on Android</h3>Android 16 incorporates the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox on Android, allowing SDKs to run in a dedicated runtime environment separate from the app they are serving, providing stronger safeguards around user data collection and sharing.

After being caught off guard by Open AI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's Bing with ChatGPT, Google has responded with Bard. However, according to a recent report from the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/technology/google-search-engine-ai.html?">New York Times</a>, Google is now working on a project codenamed Magi, which could potentially revolutionize the <keyword id="99706" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="search-engine" source="Orion">search engine</keyword> landscape. While separate from Bard, it wouldn't be surprising if Magi drew inspiration from Google's ChatGPT competitor. The Magi's rumored features are exciting, focusing on personalization and conversational search. It is said to initially roll out to one million users, eventually expanding to 30 million, and may even incorporate product recommendations and ads for purchase-related searches. Additionally, there are whispers of a separate GIFI tool to enhance Google Image results with generated images. As the search engine giants continue to push the boundaries of AI-powered search, it remains to be seen how Magi will shape up and whether its features will find their way into Google's current search offerings. But one thing is clear - the battle for search supremacy is far from over, and Google's Magi could be a game-changer in this ever-evolving tech landscape. Google’s Magi rumored features <ul><li>Magi is poised to revolutionize the search experience by offering a highly personalized and conversational approach to Google Search.</li><li>Google intends to roll out Magi's features to an initial user base of one million, with plans to expand its availability to a staggering 30 million users.</li><li>Magi is designed to continuously learn and adapt to user preferences, offering tailored recommendations for purchasing products based on individual needs and preferences, making it a tool for personalized shopping experiences.</li><li>Magi's search results page may incorporate targeted advertisements for searches that indicate purchase intent, providing relevant product ads to users seamlessly and conveniently.</li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Google doubling down on AI" comment="subhead" text="Google doubling down on AI">Google doubling down on AI</cmsannotation> In a surprising turn of events, the ripples of concern were sent through Google when news broke that Samsung was considering replacing Google with Microsoft's Bing as the default search engine on its devices. According to New York Times, this sent shockwaves through Google's employees and a sense of panic within the company. With an estimated $3 billion in annual revenue at stake with the Samsung contract, and an additional $20 billion tied to a similar Apple contract up for renewal this year, the threat posed by AI-powered competitors like the new Bing has become the most serious challenge to Google's search business in 25 years. In response, Google is scrambling to develop an entirely new search engine powered by cutting-edge AI technology to stay ahead in the ever-evolving search landscape.
