Google Photos brings Real Tone filters to more Android devices
Google’s Real Tone photo processing technology lets people use real tone as a filter matching the overall lighting with specific skin tones to create a more accurate photo. It was introduced and limited to Pixel 6 users and is now expanding to more users.
On May 24, Google officially announced that the new Real Tone filters in Google Photos have started rolling out to Android, iOS, and web users. This filter is designed by professional image-makers to work well across skin tones. Now everyone can choose the filter that reflects their style.

When you select any of these four filters, you will see a “Made with Real Tone” badge in the editing screen which includes additional sliders and settings to tweak the enhancements. These Real Tone filters can also adjust photos that users have taken previously to better reflect their skin tone.
Other than this, the US tech giant is also releasing enhanced support for skin tones through the Google lens. When you search for images such as “bridal makeup look”, Google Search will automatically show a handful of tone options on applicable searches.

Google Messages is preparing to introduce a new option that lets users turn off ‘expressive animations’ within the app. This feature will provide more control over animated reactions and screen effects.
The upcoming update of the Google Messages app with version 20240422_01_RC00 will introduce a new option named “Show expressive animations. This toggle allows users to enable or disable animations.
At present, users who prefer not to see animations can remove them across all apps on Android by opening Settings >> Accessibility>> COlor and motion >> Remove animation. The upcoming in-app setting is a more specific solution.
This feature addresses concerns from users who find the animations, especially those linked to frequently used emojis and phrases.
The anticipated setting may alter how Animated Emoji functions, but it is not expected to affect Photomoji. This feature has not yet been publicly available.

Google Maps has introduced some impactful design changes to its Android Auto app to enhance visibility and user experience.
Now, when you look at the map, the places you go often, like your home and work, stand out with bigger, bolder icons. This change is particularly noticeable in dark mode, where the contrast is more prominent.
In addition to icon updates, the search bar at the top looks cleaner. The previous surrounding bar has been removed from the search bar, adding to the clean and contrasted appearance of the UI.
Furthermore, if you like seeing buildings pop up in 3D when you’re looking at the map on your phone, you’ll be happy to know that now the same setting will work in your car too. They added this cool 3D view earlier, but it didn’t work in the car until now.
These updates not only improve functionality but also ensure a seamless change between mobile and car navigation.

Google Messages is enhancing its messaging service by introducing a new feature that allows users to create a Selfie GIF. This feature enables users to record animated GIFs of up to three seconds directly within the messaging app.
The search giant also integrated a quick-access prompt within chats for creating these GIFs, similar to other interactive prompts for sharing photos or initiating video calls.
To use this feature, one must long-press the camera icon in a message thread, which will bring up the camera viewfinder and gallery. The Selfie GIF option is separate from the app’s custom camera.
The recording process of Selfie GIF is very intuitive with a countdown to guide users in Google Messages. Although there are no editing options, users can manually start and restart recording. The completed GIFs are automatically saved to the user’s camera roll, making sharing easy.
The support documentation for the Selfie GIF feature is already available, but the feature itself has not been widely released on either the beta or stable versions of the app. Hopefully, Google will soon make it available for Android users.
