Android password checkup.

On Android, you can save passwords for any app to your Google account. When you enter a password into an app on your phone using Autofill with Google, we will check it against a list of known compromised passwords. If there's a match, we'll alert you. That way, your data stays safe and your accounts secure.

Android password checkup is automatically available to users with Android 9 and above. Visit the Help Center to learn about changing unsafe passwords.

Schedule send in Messages.

With schedule send in Messages, you can compose a message now and send it later. Whether you’re a night owl, in a different time zone, or don’t want to forget to celebrate your friend’s birthday, your message can be scheduled ahead of time when it’s convenient for you and sent to the recipient at the right time. Just write your text as you normally would. Then press and hold the send button to choose a date and time to deliver your message.

Download the Messages app or update to the latest version to schedule your next text.

All new TalkBack.

Discover TalkBack, revamped. Harness the power of your Android without looking at your screen. Built together with the blind and low-vision community, TalkBack on Android uses spoken feedback to read notifications, apps and more out loud. Now you can control your device with new, more intuitive multi-finger gestures. Plus, explore additional reading controls, a Braille keyboard and customizable menus. Making it easier for you to use your phone, however you use it.

Get TalkBack by downloading or updating your Android Accessibility Suite in the Google Play Store.

Do more on your Android phone, even when it’s out of reach. Google Assistant now works better when your phone is locked or far from you. If you need to call, text, change music or set an alarm, you can do that using just your voice. To activate this feature, simply turn on Lock Screen Personal Results in your Google Assistant settings. Then say “Hey Google” to get started.

You can now enable dark theme in Google Maps. Just turn on the feature from your Google Maps settings. The color scheme is designed to be easy on your eyes. And it reduces light emission, which helps save your battery life.

Android Auto’s new features help you stay focused and enjoy the drive. Personalize your display with custom car-inspired backgrounds. Play hands-free games like trivia and “Jeopardy!”. Use shortcuts to access contacts, adjust the thermostat or check the weather. And set a privacy screen to control when Android Auto appears on your car display. Plus, for cars with wider screens, you can now do more with an updated split-screen view.
