A new version of the application has arrived by surprise Google for Android, specifically it is 5.3.

In addition, the download occupies 35,51 MB, so it is advisable to be connected to a WiFi network, although it is not a disaster to use the data you have, especially if it is greater than a “giga”.

Having said that, the first thing to know about Google for Android 5.3 is that the functionality is finally included Now on Tap which was started which will be starting at the last operating system job. This functionality is only available with Android Marshmallow and, until now, it had not been possible to test it, and what it allows is by continuously pressing the Home button, the content that is of interest is searched for using keywords from the pages or places where that it is -as the screen is scanned-.

    Thank you very much for the contribution, I am already testing it but despite the fact that the Now Launcher has improved, I think it lacks the option of the search box and transparent application drawer that in initial versions it had.
