Like clockwork, Google’s next quarterly update for Android devices, the September Android Drop, is here. After triggering the flow of incoming features early with the Motion Assist and themes in Google Messages last week, Google is bringing new abilities to a host of apps. These new features include better collaboration between Gemini and Find Hub to find items more easily, and Guided Vision to help people with vision-related disabilities visualize the physical world around them. Along with these, Google Messages is getting a feature that will make planning events and trips more efficient.

With the latest Android Drop, Google is bringing Google Messages one step closer to becoming your notes app. While the previously documented (and unofficial) RCS trick lets anyone jot down notes in messages and send them to themselves, Google is importing official Keep features into Messages. The update brings an option to insert a live checklist into a Google Messages thread.
