Now that I\u2019m back from Google I\/O, I\u2019ve been trying to catch up on anything I may have missed while traveling, like some of the streamed sessions that followed the main keynote. In the \u201cWhat\u2019s new in Android\u201d session, Google walked through most of the previously-announced stuff from their pre-I\/O show, but they still managed to sneak in at least a couple of additional changes.<\/p>\n

Magic Cue gets a new design?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first thing that caught my eye popped up at the 24:00-mark and certainly appears to be a new design for Magic Cue, which is currently only on the Pixel 10 series. <\/p>\n

You know Magic Cue as the service on your Pixel 10 or Pixel 10 Pro that tries to surface info you may need at the precise moment you may consider going to look for it. This could be someone\u2019s phone number that was requested, an address, information about a location, a shortcut to make a calendar items, a confirmation number while on a phone call, etc.<\/p>\n

During the \u201cWhat\u2019s new in Android\u201d talk, the speakers were talking through several proactive features of Android and then showed the image above for Magic Cue. Can you see what\u2019s new? <\/p>\n

First off, the image is of Magic Cue working in Snapchat, which Google confirmed is because Magic Cue will soon expand to more apps. So that\u2019s neat! But the change in design here, with the Magic Cue option listed as a floating button at the bottom of the screen, is new.<\/p>\n

Google must be evolving Magic Cue to overlay on top of apps, down where Gemini lives. This actually seems like a better spot for it, rather than it changing locations and showing in an area that might not be as easy to spot. This looks like a bit of a pop-up that also includes an \u201cX\u201d to be able to close it off.<\/p>\n

New Continue On feature for Android 17<\/h2>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

At the 42:30-mark, Google showed off a new feature called \u201cContinue On\u201d for Android 17 that very much feels like something they could have announced at the I\/O Android pre-show.<\/p>\n

They…<\/p>\n
