Google tested putting the new Messages read receipt status directly in your conversation list last month after making the icons official.
Google Messages now places the new read check marks directly in your inbox, eliminating the need to open a conversation and look in the bottom-right corner. Left of your message “You:” When your message is delivered or read, a pair of checks with different colors will be displayed.
The icons here are sure to grab your attention and save you time. Be that as it may, the plan of the new perused framework makes the discussion list altogether too swarmed. The marks put around and around seem to be text, while the hued-in variations are a piece jostling and truly contrast the dull foundation.
In the interim, Google Messages is likewise trying an exact uninitiated count at the right under the time/date. It takes the place of the dot, which was much smaller and did not indicate how many new messages you had. There are no progressions to how the message gets bolded.
In the beta channel, neither of these changes has yet been widely implemented.
Google added a protection change to the Pixel Tablet
Since it was first teased at I/O 2022 in May and again at the Pixel 7 event in October, a new Pixel Tablet leak suggests that Google has added a privacy switch to the hardware.
SnoopyTech shared two pictures tonight of the front (Snoopy picture photoshopped on) and back of the Pixel Tablet. On the left edge, near the top, what appears to be an additional hardware toggle can be seen in the final image.
This does not appear in any of Google’s previous images of the Pixel Tablet (as shown above). Since the Pixel Tablet doubles as a Smart Display, this almost certainly functions as a microphone or camera enable or disable switch for privacy.
This would be a relatively late hardware addition. We are unable to determine whether the Facebook Marketplace leak from December 2022 has a switch because of the quality of the images.
When looking at the Tablet from the rear, we can see two long speaker cutouts running down the left edge. These cutouts are replicated on the opposite side, which has a centered USB-C port. At the top, we can see the volume rocker and power button with fingerprint reader, and at the bottom, we can see something that was previously hidden but was visible in earlier Google images (below).
The Pixel Tablet seems to remember two long projections for the base edge that could be some association point for a case or conceivable console embellishment. When looking directly at the screen, none of these cutouts are visible.
Lastly, this is a Pixel Tablet that is light beige and white, and we have previously seen it in green similar to the Pixel 5. It has a “premium nanoceramic finish” that makes it feel like ceramic.
In the past, Google stated that the Pixel Tablet would be released in 2023.
