YouTube Said to Be Testing ‘Play Something’ Floating Action Button in App

YouTube is testing a new feature called Play something in its mobile app for Android users, designed to help users choose content. This feature appears as a floating action button (FAB) in the YouTube Android app version 19.50. When engaged, it plays videos within the YouTube Shorts interface and can also play standard YouTube videos in portrait layout, with interactive features like liking, disliking, commenting, and sharing. A timeline scrubber appears for navigation, but the FAB disappears when the YouTube mini-player is activated. Additionally, YouTube is testing a vertical scroll gesture for video navigation and has expanded its AI-driven auto-dubbing feature for transcribing and translating videos between English and various languages.

One UI 7 (Android 15) support now live for Samsung Parental Controls

Google is updating its Google Keep app with a new design that replaces the bottom navigation bar with a Floating Action Button (FAB) located in the bottom right corner. The FAB uses pill-shaped buttons for tasks, allowing users to create new notes, lists, drawings, or photos, but the option to create audio notes has been removed. This redesign aims to create a cleaner and more modern interface, reducing clutter and helping users focus on their content. The update is being rolled out to Android users with Google Keep version 5.24.432.x, but availability for other platforms is not specified.

The Files by Google app has introduced a new floating action button (FAB) labeled "Receive" in version 1.4955.677425801.0, located next to the "Scan" button. This button allows users to access Google's Quick Share feature, enabling file reception from nearby devices. The "Receive" button prompts users with "Receive from others nearby" and opens the Quick Share sheet within the app. The feature is expected to roll out soon for Pixel device owners, and it simplifies the file reception process compared to the previous method.

Google Tasks redesign brings sleek new look to Android

Google is redesigning its Google Tasks app for Android, featuring a card-based interface that enhances readability and aesthetics. Each task is displayed on its own card with a darker hue, and the layout has been adjusted to relocate the three-dot overflow menu to the top right corner of each card. The bottom app bar has been removed to streamline navigation, while the floating action button remains for adding tasks. The update is part of version 2024.08.05.x and is being rolled out gradually. Additionally, Google plans to integrate reminders from Google Keep into Google Tasks over the next year, though Keep reminders will still be accessible.
