I'm pretty sure it has been installed for a bit, much earlier than any recent app updates. Google's API has been utilized since nearly the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, only recently is when it was made available to public officials. But Apple and Google have both been working together for a bit now from what I understand.

Hi all,
I have just released the first alpha version of Google Web Service For Windows Phone API on CodePlex.
The API is functional, with a few exception of completed and non-common features from Google's documentations. It is a side product of my newest app, Please Like the Facebook page , and the app is available here
Google Web Service API for Windows Phone
I am looking for contributors.
Also, please leave a comment if there is a particular Google API that you think should be in priority in porting to .NET
Please let others know such API exists. I hope my work will bring convenience to a lot of developers.
Support API so far:
- Google Directions (finding directions)
- Google Places (Geocoding, Reverse Geocoding)
- Google Places Autocomplete
- Google Static Maps
I tried using google reverse and geocoding apis but unfortunately, they state that the results must be used only for displaying on their own maps. I wanted to use the results to display in a listbox..Google needs to tweak their terms and conditions a bit and not make everything centric towards their own products
Hope someone can use this to make a Google+ app

you have to use business maps api.. the problem is the price..
Right, I agree with you, and I greatly doubt they will open that up.
do you think it'll be possible to rip the assistant out of a Pixel and APK it for other non pixel phones?
Specifically for the Note 7? (without having to use allo)

Think it'll be built into the system so no. The Nexus devices aren't even getting it.

not yet no... but they did say it will come for other systems before too long.
I presume its probably reliant on Nougat 7.1
I just don't understand Google. Why invent yet another assistant when they could have just advanced NOW. Which one will be left to rot and die?
Look at their other things. What are we up to, 4 different messaging type apps? or is it 5 or 6. Hangouts, voice, messages, Allo, Duo. And not to mention the withering and eventual death of GTALK. Why not make 1 really good one with everything the other 5 have instead of letting them die out.
It makes me worried about adopting any new Google product and become reliant on it because they may change their minds and just turn it off at a later date.
Yeah, I'm still mad about iGoogle and Reader......

I still use Greader / News plus:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noinnion.android.newsplus
It uses Feedly (which itself uses a G+ sign in). When reader shut its doors I was able to import all my feeds into Feedly.
But yeah, reader was awesome.

i have the allo app and have yet to use the assistant.. not that it matters
SO I read like a week ago that in the Android 12 CDD there are guidelines on the possibility to clone certain apps such as Messenger, Whatsapp, etc. https://www.xda-developers.com/android-12-clone-profile-native-app-cloning-support/
Has anybody been able to find how exactly you would do that?
Yes, I'd be interested to know as well - seems that the new feature is just in development and not actually available
Agreed. I haven't seen any more news about this since last October, and the last paragraphs in the article made it sound buggy in testing, and not available officially yet at the time:
However, as Mishaal further clarifies, it isn’t clear if the new profile will work in Android 12 out of the box. Creating a Clone profile doesn’t seem to be supported right now and there’s no flow for cloning apps or differentiating them in Android 12. In its current state, the feature seems to be incredibly buggy. As Luca Stefani found out, the Clone profile is seen by the launcher as a work profile and it randomly clones installed apps when created.
At the moment, we don’t have any further information about the new Clone profile. We’ll make sure to let you know as soon as we learn more. Until then, if you wish to install multiple instances of an app on your Pixel device, you can use a third-party app like Parallel Space.

Google Duo has an audio bug on Android 12, but a fix is on the wayAndroid 12 has been available for a few months now on Google’s own Pixel phones, and a number of third-party phones and tablets have also received the update. Even though each new version of Android is supposed to be fully compatible with everything built for previous versions (excluding very old applications), some apps and games do break for one reason or another. One such application appears to be Google Duo, as Google is now working on a fix for a bug on Android 12 devices.
Google wrote in a community post, “We have discovered that users on Android 12 devices sometimes don’t hear audio when answering a Duo call from an incoming call notification. We are working on a fix, but in the meantime, a workaround is to try the call once more but have your Duo app open so you can answer the call from within the app instead of via the notification alert. Thank you for providing feedback and we’ll keep you posted!”
There have been a handful of public complaints about the bug, including on Google’s own support forums, but nothing widespread. That’s likely because the Android 12 rollout is still in its early stages, and the problem doesn’t apply to everyone using Duo — if you only ever make outgoing calls, for example, you might not have noticed the issue. Hopefully, that bug fix update arrives soon.
Speaking of Duo updates, Google has rolled out a bunch of new features and fixes for Duo over the past few months. The app received a Material You redesign in September, which included the Google Sans font seen in other applications and dynamic color support. Google also revamped the home screen in July, adding a floating action button for placing calls and improving the search function. Near the start of 2021, Google implemented a new audio codec to improve call quality over poor connections.

February 11, 2022 4:30am Pranob Mehrotra
Android 13 DP1 for some Pixel devices includes a Camera Obfuscator appGoogle has finally released the first Android 13 developer preview build for its Pixel devices. The update packs a host of new features and changes that will make their way to users with the next major Android upgrade, including new APIs, developer tools, new Quick Settings tiles, and more. In addition, Android 13 DP1 for some Pixel devices also packs a Camera Obfuscator app that Google hasn’t mentioned in its announcement post.
According to Android Police, the Camera Obfuscator app is preinstalled in Android 13 DP1 for the Pixel 6. It appears to be an image-sharing app that lets users strip all metadata from shared images, but it’s intended for internal Google use only. As Android Police explains, the app can open images or receive an intent for a shared image and then obfuscate it. While stripping metadata from a shared image, the app also shows a progress bar that says “Obfuscating image.”
As shown in the attached screenshots, users can either obfuscate images from within the Camera Obfuscator app before sharing or open the share menu on a different app, like Google Photos or Gallery, pick Camera Obfuscator from the share sheet, and then obfuscate the image.
Screenshots: Android Police
On the surface, obfuscating an image using the app removes all metadata from an image. But Android Police speculates that it could be doing more behind the scenes, like stripping out other data found in JPEG files. Interestingly, the Camera Obfuscator app isn’t available in all Android 13 DP1 images. As mentioned earlier, it is available on Google’s flagship Pixel 6, but not on the Pixel 4 or the Pixel 4a 5G.
At the moment, we don’t have any further information about the Camera Obfuscator app. But the idea behind it is rather simple. It helps Googlers share images with family and friends without leaking info about upcoming camera features or other changes. Since Google accidentally included it in the first Android 13 developer preview release, we believe that the company could be working on new camera features for its Pixel lineup.
It’s worth mentioning that the Camera Obfuscator app is likely not related to Android 13, even though it’s the first time we’ve seen it. Mishaal Rahman says that Google has used it internally before, but the company doesn’t usually ship it in production builds.

I installed this app to test it out on my 6 Pro. It did indeed removes the location of the picture I took, as well as other metadata (aperture, exposure time, ISO & focal length).
