It looks like Google is getting into the holiday spirit with an Android software update package! The latest Android update will ease the lives of car users with keyless cars. If you have a car that operates on the digital key, the latest update will enable you to allow your friends and family a keyless entry into your vehicle via smartphones.
Currently, this feature is only available on Google Pixel smartphones. However, you can share your digital key with iPhone users who have compatible devices. Google has announced this feature will be available on other Android devices that run on the Android 12 operating system and above.

Google’s Photo app is getting even more holiday flair. This week, the company announced that it has teamed up with Australian husband-and-wife duo DABSMYLA and watercolor artist Yao Cheng Design to bring you two new collage templates that can be used in the app.
The new templates are designed to make it easy to create a digital holiday card using your photos and the templates provided by these artists.
Google has also announced a new feature for Android this week: Reading mode. Reading mode is a helpful accessibility feature that helps folks who are vision impaired or dyslexic read their phones more quickly.

The feature will let you customize the display settings to make sure it’s easy for you to read what you want. Text-to-speech functions also allow you to control playback and adjust the volume.
The latest Android update also makes it possible to search YouTube videos from the home screen, meaning you do not have to open YouTube whenever you want to search for a video. A new YouTube search widget has become available, which is a valuable feature.
