Google has announced six new features for Android OS on the sidelines of MWC 2023. Here are all the details.

Google Keep
Google said that soon, the Google Keep single note widget will help users to swiftly manage their notes and check off to-do lists right from their Home screen. This widget will display reminders, background colours and add images added to notes from the Keep app while also syncing with users’ smartwatches.

Google Drive
Now users will be able to use a stylus or touch the screen to annotate PDFs in the Google Drive app for Android. “Try different ink strokes to provide notes or feedback freehand (handy for marking up photos and visual plans), or use the highlighter tool to save important text neatly on your tablet or phone. Then hide, undo, delete or save a new copy of your annotated documents,” Google said.

Chrome
Lastly, Google said that now users can easily increase the size of content on Chrome, including text, images, video and interactive controls, by up to 300 percent. Users also be able to set their preferred content size as a default so that they don’t have to change it every time they open up Chrome. This feature is available starting today within Chrome Beta via Settings > Accessibility, before it officially rolls out in March 2023.
