The Google Photos app features a new image editor with AI-driven suggestions, a Reimagine feature for creative expression, and an Auto frame function for better image cropping. The Google Home app now includes device-specific shortcuts for easier management of smart devices and an upgraded Safety Check feature for scheduling check-ins.

Android’s Personal Safety app to introduce time extension for Safety Checks (APK Teardown)

The Personal Safety app on Android will soon introduce a feature that allows users to extend the duration of their "Safety Check" without stopping it. Currently, users must restart the process if they need more time. The new "Add Time" option will let users increase the Safety Check timer by selecting preset options like five or ten minutes or choosing a custom duration. This functionality was discovered in an APK teardown and has been successfully tested. The rollout of this feature is expected soon.
