Big screen, big changes. Google is optimizing the Android experience for larger tablet screens. 20+ Google apps will get makeovers so they’re easier to use and easier on the eyes. Many of your other apps are getting updates too.

To help you evaluate the reliability of information, you'll soon be able to find relevant context about any website with just one tap in the Google App — such as the site description, what they say about themselves and what others say about them.

Soon, a new tool will let you more easily request the removal of Google Search results containing your contact details — such as your home address, phone number and email address. This feature will be available in the Google app and on individual Google Search results.

Google is expanding our AI-powered phishing protections to more products. Soon, they will automatically alert you if we detect a suspicious link in Google Docs, Sheets or Slides — and then take you back to safety.

Also, in the future, you'll be able to pan your camera, ask a question and see relevant information overlaid in the context of the world around you. It's like a supercharged CTRL+F for the real world.

Sundar Pichai is back to talk about LaMDA 2, "our most conversational AI yet." LaMDA helps conversations stay on track and not divert from one topic to another while giving users useful information about the topic at hand.

Time to ignore Hey Google! - Google announces 'Look and Talk' feature where users will be able to simply look at their Nest Hub Max and start a conversation or five commands.

Now for makeup queries in Google Images, like “everyday eyeshadow” and “bridal makeup looks,” you'll find a new way to filter by relevant skin tones to find more helpful results.

Pichai also said that Immersive view in Google Maps is a new way to experience what a neighborhood, landmark, restaurant and venue will be like — and even feel like you’re right there. It uses advances in computer vision and AI to fuse together billions of Street View images.

Whether it’s helping people find a COVID vaccine, notifying 23 million people of flooding in India and Bangladesh, or deploying air raid alerts in Ukraine, Google products are built to help, said Pichai.
