Google reveals some interesting news coming to Google Calendar, Gboard, Google Podcast

Going in order, the Mountain View giant announces the release of the Time Insight function for all Google Workspace users. The functionality, as described by the company, allows users to see in detail the time spent in a meeting and beyond.

With the changes to our work environments over the past year, some people have more meetings and may have less control over how their work time is spent. Time Insights can show you this data and help you plan your time better, the note reads. The detail of this information is visible only to users.

But possibly also to those who have the permissions to manage the calendars of other Workspace users. Time Insight of Google Calendar will be available only for the web version of the application starting today; the rollout will be completed during the month of September.

Following the arrival of the Material You also within the Gboard settings, in these hours we discover that the Google keyboard embraces the guidelines of the Material You also regarding the typing of individual words on the virtual keyboard.

If the Popup keys item of the Gboard settings is active, a long press on a keyboard letter reveals the new UI with the same elevated on a new level with a circular shape and no longer rectangular. The same applies to the one-hand mode panel which can be activated by pressing and holding the comma symbol (“,”) and the period symbol (“.”). The news is available through the 10.9 beta version of Gboard in rollout immediately on the Play Store.

Finally, the Google Podcast development team unveils a major reorganization of the application’s main tabs. The Activities tab undergoes the most marked changes and is now renamed as Library. The important new features of the application are currently being released as a server-side update.
