Whether you’re attending this year’s Google I/O developer conference in-person or watching from afar, you’ll want to download the official Google I/O 2015 app, as it’s been updated in preparation for the show’s opening at the end of May.

Why do you need it? If you’re not lucky enough to be at I/O, it’s the perfect spot to watch the opening keynote, where we usually see and hear about any new products, plus all the subsequent live streaming sessions. The My Schedule feature lets you keep track of all that’s going on. You can add events, and then get reminders before they start, so you don’t miss anything important.

You can even switch back and forth between the I/O web app and the I/O Android app as much as you want, and everything will stay in sync. In the Android app settings, you can enable Google Calendar integration so you can see your I/O schedule all in one place. The Google I/O 2015 update also brings a fresh new look and currently lists the sessions that are already scheduled, though most of them don’t give all of the details.

Google kicked off last year’s Google I/O event by announcing several new products, including Android TV, Android Auto and the developer preview software Android L, which would eventually become Android Lollipop. There’s a lot of talk that at this year’s conference we’ll get our first look at Android M, learn more about Google’s self-driving car, and if we’re very lucky, some new Nexus hardware too. Google Home might also get a lot of attention as well.

You can download the Google I/O 2015 app from the Google Play Store here. Plus, if you’re attending and need to catch a ride to the conference, Google has partnered with Lyft to give everyone a $50 discount off their first 10 rides. New users should download the Lyft app, sign-up, and then apply the promo code GOOGLEIO to get the deal.

Google I/O 2015 begins on May 28, and we’ll bring you all the news from the always exciting event.

Everything announced at Google I/O 2024

Android, Wear OS, and Pixel may be Google's household names, but it was Google Gemini, its emerging AI technology, that stole the limelight at Google I/O 2024. The company's annual software celebration sets the stage for everything the company has planned for the coming year, and this year, CEO Sundar Pichai unambiguously declared that Google is in its "Gemini era." From AI searches in your Google Photos to virtual AI assistants that will work alongside you, Google is baking Gemini into absolutely everything, and the implications are enormous. Here's an overview of everything Google announced this year.
Gemini takeover

Users upload more than 6 billion photos to Google Photos every day, so it's little wonder that we could use a hand sifting through them all. Gemini will be added to Google Photos this summer, adding extra search abilities through the Ask Photos function. For instance, ask it "what's my license plate again" and it'll search through your photos to find the most likely answer, saving you from needing to manually look through your photos to find it yourself.

Google announced a wide range of features for Android phones at the I/O 2024 developers conference earlier today. However, the event was not all about user-facing changes. The company also revealed a handful of new tricks for developers to showcase their apps effectively while maintaining a vigilant eye on safety.

Among the most important changes -- one that is also going to make life easier for users - is support for more payment options. The most notable of these is support for installment subscriptions, which has already yielded positive results for developers in the early access phase.
