Google adding a dedicated notifications feed on its Android app: Check details

Throughout the day, the Google (Search) app can send a number of notifications (if you allow it). These notifications cover a wide range of information, including updates on the current weather, sports scores, stock performance, the word of the day, flight and travel details, recommendations on what to watch, and many other topics. Now, Google is adding a dedicated notifications feed on the Google app on Android. 

The new dedicated feed will provide users with a history of notifications sent to their device, reports 9To5Google.

If the new feed is rolled out to your device, you will see a bell icon in the Google app in the top-right corner next to your account picture.

You will likely be able to organise these notifications in a simple reverse chronological feed. In addition, there might be a “New for you” section dedicated to notifications that you haven’t engaged with yet. A three-dot overflow menu provides options to Delete, Don’t get notifications like this, and Send feedback.

This functionality can come in handy if you ever encounter a notification that you can’t open immediately, and then accidentally swipe it away later.

The new dedicated notifications feed is live with Google app 14.43 which is currently in beta. This feed already exists on iOS, the report said.

Recently, Google introduced new updates to Search and Lens to help learners solve math and science problems. You can simply type your equation or integral into the Search bar, or take a picture with Lens, and you will see a step-by-step explanation and solution. Also, you can type “math solver” to give this experience a try on desktop and it will soon be available on mobile.
