More productivity with Android

This week, Android introduced a handful of updates designed to help you be more productive and organized across your devices. For starters, Android Auto summarizes long texts and busy group chats while you're driving. In Google Docs, you can add handwritten notes using a finger or a stylus, and we've also made it easier to access boarding passes, event tickets and more in Google Wallet on Wear OS smartwatches. Find out how to start using those features — and more — to simplify your digital life.
