The release combines new multitasking tools, enhancements in privacy and security, and steps towards deeper integration of mobile applications with &#8220;Gemini&#8221; and AI agents.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The company describes the release as the start of &#8220;Android&#8221; transitioning from a traditional operating system to what it calls an &#8220;intelligent system,&#8221; allowing smart assistants in the future to discover app functionalities and execute certain tasks on behalf of the user, rather than just providing answers or opening the requested app.<\/p>\n<p>Apps into AI Tools<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Android 17&#8221; introduces an expansion of the &#8220;AppFunctions&#8221; feature, which allows developers to make specific functions within their apps discoverable and executable by a smart assistant like &#8220;Gemini.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>This could mean that, once integration is complete, users may be able to ask the assistant to create a note, execute a step within an app, or complete a workflow requiring multiple services, without having to manually navigate between several screens.<\/p>\n<p>However, this integration with &#8220;Gemini&#8221; is still in a private preview phase with a select group of testers, and is not a general feature available to all users at the system&#8217;s launch. Developers can begin preparing their apps now and testing the functionalities that smart assistants might use later.<\/p>\n<p>Bubbles for All Apps<\/p>\n<p>One of the most notable visual additions in &#8220;Android 17&#8221; is the expansion of the concept of &#8220;floating bubbles,&#8221; which have primarily been associated with messaging apps. Users can now convert any app into a floating bubble by long-pressing its icon.<\/p>\n<p>These bubbles allow the app to stay available over other apps, helping users quickly return to it without fully leaving their current task. This feature works on phones, foldable devices, and tablets.<\/p>\n<p>On larger screens, there is a&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sadanews.ps\/en\/news\/312018.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Launches Android 17 with App Bubbles and Stronger Data Protection https:\/\/www.sadanews.ps\/en\/news\/312018.html Publish Date: 2026-06-20&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276830,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.sadanews.ps\/cached_uploads\/resize\/1200\/630\/2026\/06\/20\/650e05987eecbc6f406d331b7a545531-1781930417.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72,57],"class_list":["post-276828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276828"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276828"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276831,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276828\/revisions\/276831"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
