Your Android phone should get better and more helpful over time, even while you wait for the latest OS update to arrive. Like the recently announced Nearby Share that supports devices going back to Android 6.0, we’re building new features that improve the experience of billions of devices around the world. Today, we’re introducing five new features to your Android phone for added safety, restful sleep and more.
1. Save precious seconds during an emergency
Your Android phone can’t put out a fire, but it can provide help sooner with Android Emergency Location Service (ELS) now available to over 800 million people across 29 countries. Since launching ELS in 2016, we』ve worked with local public safety officials to shorten emergency response times around the world by improving access to accurate location information.
Now, your Android phone can share your device language setting when you dial your local emergency number wherever ELS is available. So if you don’t speak the local language, emergency operators can get the appropriate translator sooner and send you the help you need.
Android ELS is available on devices running Android 4.1 and above with Google Play Services installed.
2. Get alerted to earthquakes around you
Android phones around the world can now detect earthquakes with the Android Earthquake Alerts System, creating the world’s largest earthquake detection network. To start, this will lead to faster, more accurate earthquake information when you look up 「earthquake near me」 on Google Search.
The Android Earthquake Alerts System will be available on devices running Android 5.0 and above. And if you are in California, you will now receive earthquake alerts powered by ShakeAlert® directly on your Android phone.
3. Get more done in the car
When driving, your safety is dependent on keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. With new updates to Android Auto, you can stay on top of your day without having to glance at your phone.
Get a quick look into your daily schedule on your car display with the new calendar app. With a few taps from a calendar event, get directions to the bakery where you ordered that birthday cake or make a quick phone call to tell them you'll be arriving soon.
And with the new settings app, you can manage your Android Auto preferences directly on your car display.
The new Android Auto calendar app displays personal calendars synced to your phone and will be rolling out to devices running Android 6.0+ over the coming month. Find out if your car supports Android Auto here.
4. Rest easy, without interruptions
Remember that time when checking one notification turned into staying up an hour past your bedtime? We bet you weren’t too happy. So we created Bedtime mode to remind you when it’s time for bed and limit interruptions by keeping your phone dark and quiet while you sleep.
Now with the addition of the Bedtime tab in Clock, you can maintain a consistent sleep schedule, track your screen time at night, and fall asleep to soothing sounds from Calm, Spotify, YouTube Music and more. And if you dread feeling startled by your alarm, you can wake up more gently with visual cues from the Sunrise Alarm and your favorite sounds or song.

5. Lookout makes the physical world more accessible
We’re bringing new features to Lookout, an app that uses computer vision to help people who are blind or low-vision get things done faster and more easily. Built with and for the blind and low-vision community, this update debuts two new modes and a more accessible design. Now Lookout can scan long form documents into readable text, identify products from their food labels, and is even more compatible with screen readers. It also includes expansion to new languages and phones, automatic flash, and more.
Download Lookout on Google Play today, available for all devices with more than 2GB of RAM running Android 6.0 and later.
隨著時間的推移,你的Android手機應該會變得更好、更有用,即使你在等待最新的作業系統更新。就像最近宣布的支持Android 6.0的設備共享一樣,我們正在構建新的功能,以改善全球數十億臺設備的體驗。今天,我們將為您的安卓手機引入五項新功能,以增加安全性、休息睡眠等。
1在緊急情況下節省寶貴的時間
你的安卓手機無法滅火,但它可以更快地提供幫助,安卓緊急定位服務(ELS)目前已提供給29個國家的8億多人。自2016年啟動ELS以來,我們一直與當地公共安全官員合作,通過改善對準確位置信息的獲取,縮短全球各地的應急響應時間。
現在,你的Android手機可以分享你的設備語言設置,當你撥打你的本地緊急電話號碼,只要有ELS。因此,如果你不會說當地語言,急救人員可以儘快找到合適的翻譯,並向你提供你需要的幫助。
Android ELS可在運行Android 4.1及更高版本的設備上使用,並安裝了Google Play服務。
2警惕你周圍的地震
目前,全世界的安卓手機都可以通過安卓地震警報系統探測地震,打造出全球最大的地震探測網絡。首先,當你在谷歌搜索中查找「我附近的地震」時,這將導致更快、更準確的地震信息。
Android地震警報系統將在運行Android 5.0及更高版本的設備上提供。如果您在加州,您現在將直接在Android手機上接收ShakeAlert®提供的地震警報。
三。在車裡做更多的事
開車時,你的安全取決於手放在方向盤上,眼睛盯著路面。有了Android Auto的最新更新,你可以不必看一眼你的手機就可以隨時掌握你的日常生活。
使用新的日曆應用程式,在汽車顯示屏上快速查看您的每日日程安排。在日曆活動中點擊幾下,就可以找到你點生日蛋糕的麵包店的方向,或者打個電話告訴他們你很快就要到了。
使用新的設置應用程式,你可以直接在你的汽車顯示屏上管理你的安卓汽車偏好。
新的Android自動日曆應用程式顯示與手機同步的個人日曆,並將在未來一個月推廣到運行android6.0+的設備上。看看你的車是否支持安卓汽車。
4休息一下,不要打擾
還記得那個時候,當你看了一個通知變成比你的就寢時間晚了一個小時的時候嗎?我們打賭你一定不太高興。所以我們創建了睡前模式來提醒你該睡覺了,並且在睡覺的時候保持手機的黑暗和安靜來限制打擾。
現在,在Clock中添加了Bedtime標籤,您可以保持一個一致的睡眠時間表,在晚上跟蹤屏幕時間,然後從平靜、Spotify、YouTube音樂等舒緩的聲音中入睡。如果你害怕被你的鬧鐘嚇到,你可以用日出鬧鐘的視覺提示和你最喜歡的聲音或歌曲醒來。

5《瞭望》使物質世界更容易接近
我們為Lookout帶來了新功能,這是一款利用計算機視覺幫助盲人或視力低下的人更快、更輕鬆地完成任務的應用程式。為盲人和低視力社區而建,這一更新推出了兩種新模式和一種更易接近的設計。現在Lookout可以將長格式文檔掃描成可讀文本,從食品標籤中識別產品,並且與屏幕閱讀器更加兼容。它還包括擴展到新的語言和手機,自動閃光,等等。
現在就在googleplay上下載Lookout,可用於運行android6.0及更高版本的所有內存超過2GB的設備。
