Allo, a social AI messaging app is now available for pre registration. You can head over to the bottom to register for the app.
Google launched its new project called Android Instant Apps which runs instantly without installing which provides the people with wider range of Apps.
Android Instant Apps will be available to all phones running Android 4.2 or later and via an update to the Google Play Services software coming “later this year,” will attempt to bridge that gap. Instant Apps are designed to provide the richer, Android-native experience of an app combined with the convenience and the lower data and storage usage of a mobile website.
When users tap an Instant App URL than the user will be taken directly to an app that runs without installing. Developers who want to offer Instant Apps will have to modularize their apps so that users don’t have to install the entire app just to use certain features of it—this is where most of the data savings come from.
If you’re interested in learning more about Android Instant Apps, please check out the Android developers website, where you can sign up for updates as they become available. We can’t wait to see what you build when your app is just a tap away.

Google after launching Google virtual assistant, Google Home for house hold tasks and Allo a smart messaging app announced its Duo Video calling app here at Google I/O 2016.
Duo is a simple, fast one-to-one video calling app for everyone—whether you’re on Android or iOS, a fast or slow connection, in New York or New Delhi. Like Allo, Duo is based on your phone number, allowing you to reach anyone in your phonebook. And its simple interface fades away when you’re in a call, so it’s just the two of you.
One of our favorite features of Duo is Knock Knock, which shows you a live video preview of the caller before you pick up. Knock Knock invites you into the moment, making calls feel spontaneous and fun. Once you answer, Duo seamlessly transitions you right into the call.
Duo calls are in crisp HD video (up to 720p) and audio. We’ve optimized Duo to work well even on spotty networks, so if bandwidth is limited it gracefully adjusts quality so you’re still able to connect. We also seamlessly transition calls between cellular and Wi-Fi, so you don’t need to worry about what network you’re on. Finally, we built Duo with privacy and security in mind and all calls on Duo are end-to-end encrypted.

For developers, tech experts and geeks across the world this is a major event to discover all the new inventions made by the giant G.
This is the primary thing that we are expecting from Google IO 2016. Google has released the developer preview of the Android N few months back and they are continuously improving it. Recently Android N also made available for Nexus Player. So we expect full launch of the Android N.
There are lot of features of Android N that users got to know after the initial launch of the device. But, still many things are unknown.
We expect lot more from Android N. We hope that more stuff should be added to the Android N.
There’s a “What’s New in Android Wear” session in Google IO 2016 agenda. So, we expect that Android Wear is going to get some more powers or features upgrade. Android Wear was laucnhed at IO 2014, and, since, two years despite of regular upgrades it has started feeling that Android Wear is missing something.
This is much needed thing for Android Wear. Many users around the world are looking for IO 2016. Do you own any Android Wearable?

In recent past, we heard many rumors that Google is going to integrate Android Apps with Chromebooks or ChromeOS. We don’t know whether they will launch support for Android Apps by integrating Android with ChromeOS or they are working on any other method.
Less than a month ago, someone on reddit caught a fleeting glimpse of a checkbox that said “Enable Android Apps to run on your Chromebook”.
Google IO 2016 is going to provide awnsers to all these rumors.
Virtual Reality is making hits all over the market with some major companies releasing their VR machines. Recently, HTC announced HTC Vive pre and there’s new version of the Oculus Rift slated for launch in some upcoming time.
As per the rumors, Google is also going to unveil the Virtual Reality Hardware and it is going to be less powerful than the HTC Vive and Rift. The event will be the perfect space to release some new hardware and systems for this technology that is getting bigger and bigger in the industry.
The devices powered by Project Tango will be able to recognize places they have been before, such as public places, offices and more. The motion-tracking ability of Project Tango also works indoors, allowing users to navigate accurately in indoor environments such as a shopping mall. The development of the first consumer device with Project Tango is coming to partnership with lenovo. At CES 2016 Lenovo said:
“The new smartphone, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, turns the screen into a magic window that can overlay digital information and objects onto the real world. Lenovo, Google, and Qualcomm Technologies are working closely together to optimize the software and hardware to ensure consumers get the most out of the Project Tango platform.”
So there’s lot of stuff unknown and we are looking for Google IO 2016 for this.
This was leaked just few days ago, that Xiaomi is coming on with some hardware device. Google will introduce it’s standalone connected home device at I/O, and will name it ‘Home.’ A previous report noted it was going by the codename of ‘Chirp.’
So there’s lot less information available but this is another thing that we are waiting for. This also come under Google’s Project Home with Echo.
The project follows up from Google Glass and continues to focus on the wearable world. Google has even hired consumer electronics experts from Amazon’s secretive Lab 126 to jump-start the new group. According to reports Google plans to release its new wearable devices this IO.
So that’s it from our list and what we expect from Google IO 2016. Is there anything missing? Well, what are you looking for?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Google News will start aggregating news from your local sources to bring you a more personalized experience. Google News providing local sources, you will now get the news the way you want it, you will get news from the local sources rather than source fmo over the other country.
Google explained it as follows:
A great example of hyperlocal news is 9-year-old reporter Hilde Lysiak. Hilde made headlines when she reported on the story of a murder in her hometown which she published on her own local news site — Orange Street News (AMP-enabled to load really fast on mobile). Her reporting attracted the attention of major newspapers and morning shows like Good Morning America after she was criticized for being too young to cover hard news. It was one reason we invited Hilde to visit the Googleplex on World Press Freedom Day 2016. And just like Hilde, at Google News we are committed to connecting people to the news that matters most to them — be that local, national or international.
So you can see the changes by visiting the Google News on any device.

Eric Wahlfross, SoundCloud co-founder and Chief Technology Officer
Subscription scheme isn’t profitable at this point, but that is deliberate as they are investing in growth. “We are in this for the long haul,” he said. While they have 175 million users worldwide, they can’t give figures yet as to what percentage the paying subscribers are.
He also says that “We are planning to roll out to multiple territories this year. We are looking at a couple of years to really take this to the whole world,” But declined to give further details about the next countries it intends to roll out.

Google today enables HTTPS to all the Blogspot blogs. Earlier in last September Google made HTTPS available as an option in the Blogspot account. But from today onwards encrypted connections (HTTPS) are enabled by default.
“We’re also adding a new setting called HTTPS Redirect that allows you to opt-in to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS. While all blogspot blogs will have an HTTPS version enabled, if you turn on this new setting, all visitors will be redirected to the HTTPS version of your blog at https://<your-blog>.blogspot.com even if they go to http://<your-blog>.blogspot.com. If you choose to turn off this setting, visitors will have two options for viewing your blog: the unencrypted version at http://<your-blog>.blogspot.com or the encrypted version at https://<your-blog>.blogspot.com.” – said by, Milinda Perera, Software Engineer, Security
However, Blogspot will still offer both access over HTTP and HTTPS. Because many blogspot templates and widgets may not work correctly over HTTPS, it’s probably worth testing both versions before making the full switch to HTTPS. On the other hand WordPress has been offering the same feature to all the websites on network since 2014. Moreover, recently wordpess has introduced this support to custom domains.
