Link Safe

Google has updated its brilliant Google Now app, making it easier to use. It even has a new icon. Gone is the square blue icon with a white ‘g’ logo, and in its place has arrived a circular white icon, with a multicoloured ‘G’ inside it. The app comes pre-installed on Android devices.

If you were following any sports teams on Google Now, you’ll now find their recent results listed as ‘cards’ when you scroll. Tap the three dots at the top right of the card to see options to hide spoilers or add further teams you want to keep track of (see screenshot below ). Below the sports scores, you’ll see a list of article cards on topics Google thinks you’re likely to be interested in (based on movies, TV shows, and sports and TV personalities you’ve searched for). Tap the three dots at the top right of any card to see options for further tweaking it to your tastes. Google Now will then remember these settings in future.
