New updates are coming to two of the most used extensions to the Android operating system: Google Now and Google+. Both are developed by the Mountain View company and, the first, allows a more personalized use of the terminal. The second corresponds to your social network.

We will begin by talking about the latter, which is the first to be reported. Now, the Android application of this social network has interesting news. One of the most striking is that photos can be shared between terminals using Android Beam. That is, through connectivity NFC. Also, images are now part of Daydream when screensavers are in action.

Another good possibility when it comes to talking about photos on Google+, is the possibility of knowing the details of this through a drop-down menu. This has already had very good comments from users who already use the new version 4.2.3. Also, bad locations that are sometimes due have been fixed.

But Google has included a few more things in its social network application. Since now the speed When it comes to posting comments and states, it is much higher, which is always a positive detail.

Google Now also comes with news

Yes, the tool that allows a more personalized use of the terminals that use the Google operating system has also been updated (being part of Search, as usual). One of the improvements, which is already the norm, is that the notice cards are refined and are now more specific and exact with the tastes of the users.

But the "jewel in the crown" in this case is that the new version of Google Now includes the user experience that is starting on the Nexus 5. The reason for this is that it is possible to use the voice command "OK Google ”To activate the service (although it is true that this option for now only works in English). Besides, Waze updates for the Google maps service are also part of this assistant, which increases its usefulness.

Of course, the update is being deployed very slowly outside the US and, being an integral part of the operating system, you have to be careful with it.
