Google has made available for download a new version of its Search app (Google Now) on Android devices, namely version 3.4.15.1143430.

The new app iteration has already been released in the Google Play Store, bringing along a nice range of enhancements, mostly aimed at devices running under Android 4.1 and up.

As part of the new update, users will see that a new parking card has been included in Google Now, which should allow users to find a parking place much easier and faster than before.

At the same time, the updated application comes with a new user interface for reminders, which should provide a better arrangement of past reminders, the release notes available courtesy of Android Police unveil.

The list of changes included in the new Google Search for Android release also shows that users will benefit from a centralized list for nicknames under Accounts & privacy now.

Moreover, the Help and Send feedback settings have been transformed into Help & feedback, a single item.

Other changes in the new update include the fact that cards will no longer be cleared when in offline mode. Instead, cards from the last update will be visible.

Google Search 3.4 for Android also provides users with the possibility to open some settings by voice, which appears to be the most important addition to the application.

Following the update, users will be able to go to the Wi-Fi settings page by saying “turn Wi-Fi off,” and that the same applies to Airplane Mode and GPS, Android Police notes.

However, when it comes to Volume, users will be able not only to open the volume settings, but also to turn the volume of their devices down of up, all only with voice. The same applies to display settings too, it seems.

The availability of voice controls for some settings falls nicely in line with the latest reports on Google planning on making Voice available system-wide in Android.

Apparently, the company might be working on bringing the functionality to various parts of the operating system in a phased rollout, though it might end up allowing users to control most of their devices using speech alone.

With iOS and Windows Phone already having their own voice assistant that provides users with this level of control, it certainly does not come as a surprise that Google is working on bringing the functionality to Android as well.

Requirements:

  • Android 4.1 or later

The first is the Search app (version 3.4.15.1143430.arm), which gets a cool new addition. The app will now try and determine the position of your car when you park it, so when you return you know where to find it on the map.
Other changes include:
New reminders interface with better arrangement of past reminders
Centralized list for nicknames under Accounts & privacy
‘Help’ and ‘Send feedback’ are now ‘Help & feedback’ (one item)
Offline mode no longer clears all cards, keeps cards from last update
Open some settings by voice
Next is the Google Play Music app (version 5.5.1509O.1140258), which lets you edit playlists within the app and share them after making them public.
Lastly, there is the Google Play Games app (version 1.6.07), which adds a redesigned slide-out nav bar, notification for gifts and requests and ‘Matches’ being renamed to ‘Inbox’.
