The new month isn’t all that new anymore, but there are still a few updates to come. This includes the new Google System Updates, which have now been announced.
This is behind the Google System Updates
Almost simultaneously with the new monthly update (security patch, Android Security Bulletin), Google is also releasing new Google system updates. These updates via Play Services and Google Play Store are general improvements and innovations for the Android operating system and various Google apps. Thus, not only the pixel smartphones from Google benefit but also the devices of other manufacturers.
And the devices of other categories apart from the phones. In the first round, there are again some innovations that we find quite exciting. For example, the new branding of the Google Wallet, which is now being rolled out.
