JAKARTA - Google presents a number of new features for Android at the 2023 Mobile World Congress (MWC) at Barcelona. Not only that, but the company also brought updates to its Wear OS.

The first feature, Google brings a new widget for Google Keep where users can check the list of tasks from the phone's main screen.

Users will also get the ability, with compatible watches, letting them dictate the records and task list items only from the wrist.

Google Meet is now also offering noise damping during calls on more Android mobile devices, filtering annoying background sounds as users talk.

Soon, Fast Pair will also be able to connect new Bluetooth headphones to Chromebook with just one tap. Chromebooks will also connect automatically when users connect headphones with Android phones.

In addition, new emoji combinations are now also available on coupled Emoji Kitchen, remix, and share as stickers via Gboard, as quoted from Google's official blog, Tuesday, February 28.

For example, users can combine Basketball emojis with Mata Hati, which results in a basketball ball that will be in the form of a heart, or add a basketball-like texture to the same eye.

The new tap-to-pay animated feature will also be coming next week on Google Wallet to help confirm transactions inside the store.

Users can also easily increase the size of content in Chrome, including interactive text, images, videos, and controls by up to 300 percent to suit user's vision preferences, while maintaining the page layout.

There is also the ability to set the size of the selected content as default so users don't have to change it every time they open Chrome.

To try it, at Chrome Beta go to Settings click Accessibility, before launching officially in March.

Finally, Wear OS 3+ will also introduce two sound modes and a new look to improve watch accessibility.

Mono audio can help limit the disorientation caused by separate audio, while color correction modes and gray scale give users more options for watch views.
