Google is sending notifications to Andriod Devices
According to a report by 9to5Google, Google is sending notifications with the title “Your Android Has New Features” to some Android devices to highlight the new features available for users recently.
Previously, such notifications were sent to Pixel smartphones via the Tips app. The app would highlight the quarterly Feature Drops, providing users with more information about the new features. Some non-Pixel Andriod devices also start to get this notification via the Google Play service app as per the report.
Upon clicking the notification, a full-screen interface appears, showcasing the latest Android features. Users can swipe through multiple screens in a carousel format, exploring each feature individually.
