Moreover, the overall security of the app will gain tremendous improvements, thanks to automatic security updates which will request permissions from the user at every vital step.
Trend 3 – New AI-based assistant
Google has kept its promise which it made last year, by continuing to incorporate its Google assistant feature into the latest range of Android devices.
