Google Chrome is ready to stop you making URL typos
Recently, Google revealed many new accessibility features to mark this year’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day. The announcement includes a minor yet incredible feature for the Google Chrome browser, which will stop you from making typos while entering the URL.
According to the info, when a user type a website into the Google Chrome browser’s address bar, it will detect URL typos and suggest websites based on the corrections. It often happens with people while visiting a direct URL, which leads error if there’s a lit bit of a typo in the entered URL.

Google Search is different from the Adress Bar. If you make any typing mistake in the Search, it will deliver relevant results by fixing the typing error that happened mistakenly. Meanwhile, it becomes quite frustrating when you are in a hurry and want to visit a website using the URL.
Thankfully, Chrome’s enhanced Adress Bar increases accessibility for people with dyslexia, language learners, and anyone who makes typos by making it easier to get to previously visited websites despite spelling errors. At present, this feature is live on Chrome Desktop and ready to roll out to mobile in the coming months.
Earlier, Android’s Chrome app added new functionality for TalkBack users, which makes it easier to manage and organize tabs. The company says, “whether it’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day or not, we’re committed to creating a world that’s accessible for everyone.”

Apple’s Surprising Victory: Takes the Crown in Indian Smartphone Exports, Samsung Drops to Second
For the first time, Apple surpassed Samsung in smartphone export from India. The company shipped 49% of the country’s total 12 million shipments in the second quarter. Samsung, on the other hand, secured 45% of India’s total smartphone shipments in the same period.
Apple clocked a rapid growth in export volumes in the last year by making iPhones through contract manufacturers in India. The Cupertino-based company’s share of exports soared from just 9% of the roughly 8 million smartphones shipped in Q2 2022, to almost half the total smartphone exports in Q2 2023.

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
