chrome browser

 Google is planning to launch a new version of Chrome for iOS and Android, which will include an optional setting to reduce the browser's data usage by up to 50%. 

Chrome's "reduce data usage" feature works by compressing webpages on Google's servers before sending them down to the phone, the Verge reports.

According to the report, the update should be available within the next few days and the users will be able to set the feature from Chrome's settings menu.

gmail


 Leaked Android screenshots have reportedly suggested that Google may be testing a new version of Gmail, to give it some new inbox-wrangling features. 

The leaks reportedly revealed by Geek.com suggest that Gmail may soon get new tabs for travel, purchases and finance, to supplement the current Social, Promotional, Updates and Forums tabs that users can add alongside their default inbox. 

The leaks also said that new version may include some tools for making sure that important messages do not get lost and there would apparently be a system for pinning messages to the top of ones inbox in place of the old stars, The Verge reported. 

The leaked version may also reportedly include a snooze feature, that will allow a user to read an email, and then set it to be marked as unread and moved back to the top of the inbox after a set period of time. 

The report, however, cautions that this design could just be a preliminary test as well, given the number of experimental features the search giant has tried out over the years.

security enhancement in android

NEW DELHI: Android, though the most popular mobile operating system in the world, has long been criticized for its lax security. However, this may be about to change as a new report has claimed that Google will aim to enhance Android's security features with the next update.

The Information, the website which leaked that Google was ready to pay over $19 billion for WhatsApp, has reported that next build of Android will focus on making the mobile OS more enterprise-friendly. Among the new features of the update, codenamed 'L Release', will be the ability to remotely delete the portions that store corporate data, without affecting personal information.

This report cites sources at Google, one working on the update and another who is familiar with the development process.

Google is also said to be liaising with US-based chipmakers and device makers to enable Android to store sensitive data, such as passwords, on the chip itself. This way, crucial information will not be accessible to hackers. Google is also planning to make data encryption stronger, the report says.

For enterprise apps, Google is working on introducing a new approval process. The report says, "Google also has considered a separate approval process for enterprise applications to make sure they are safe and a way for companies to offer certain apps on the Google Play app store but make them available only to their employees' Android devices."

Thus, Google may finally have set its sights on enterprise segment after conquering the consumer segment. Most organizations prefer Apple's iOS operating system, which powers iPhones and iPads, over Android as it lacks the necessary security features. BlackBerry is another major player in the corporate game, but its market share is receding as Apple grows stronger.

Samsung, however, has tried to make headway into the enterprise arena with its Knox security feature, which makes Android a more secure OS than the default version.

Going by the name 'L Release', it seems that Google may skip the rumoured name 'Key Lime Pie' for the next version of Android. As Google names Android builds after sweets, a likely contender for the name then can be 'Lollipop'.
