New to Android: Messaging gets an upgrade, plus Google TV, photos, parking, and more.

• New Messages features help you stay organized and better connect with the people in your life, including your iPhone friends. 
  • Sort your messages into Personal and Business tabs using the Organized inbox feature, much like how your email inbox might work today.
  • Share your videos with iPhone friends in high quality with automatic Google Photos links. 
  • Receive iPhone message reactions as emoji on the message, just like they appear from Android phones. 
  • Get gentle reminders to reply or follow up on forgotten messages with nudges. 
  • Help make your contact list feel extra special with new birthday reminders.
  • Choose to automatically delete one-time password messages after 24 hours. 
• Portrait Blur in Google Photos helps you further customize your photos by intelligently blurring the background post-snap, whether you took the photo years ago or didn’t have portrait mode on at the time. Coming soon, you will not only be able to use this effect on photos of the people in your life, but also on additional subjects like pets, food, and plants too. Available for Pixel users or Google One subscribers. Devices must have at least 3GB RAM running Android 8.0 and above. Feature may not work on all images. 
• Assistant and Google Pay can now help you pay for parking, check your parking status, and extend your parking using just your voice. Just say, “Hey Google, pay for parking” once you’ve parked, and follow Assistant prompts to pay from your phone. No more coins, no more confusion. And when you need to check your parking status or pay for more parking, just say ‘Hey Google, parking status’ and “Hey Google, extend parking”. Available in ParkMobile street parking zones in over 400 cities in the US. 
• Google TV gets a personalized Highlights feed, offering news, reviews, and more based on movies and shows you're interested in. Use it to find out more about the entertainment you love, and get connected to the next big thing, all in a single tap. 
• Grammar Correction on Gboard offers suggestions that help you maintain grammatical consistency across apps. Messages, emails, captions, essays—if you type it using Gboard, your thoughts will now shine through with clarity and consistency. 
• 2,000+ new emoji mashups on Emoji Kitchen help tell your story when words just don’t cut it. 
• Nearby Share lets you effortlessly share photos, videos, documents, links, audio files, or entire folders between nearby Android devices. A new update now lets you securely share with multiple people rather than one at a time. Just tap to add more recipients during a transfer to share. Rolling out now to all Android 6+ devices. 
• A new screen time widget shows the top 3 apps you use. Tap the widget to open Digital Wellbeing, where you’ll find more ways to fine-tune your digital habits.
• Live Transcribe provides free, real-time, speech-to-text captions that enable in-person conversations with people who are deaf or hard of hearing. This feature now works offline, so real-time captions are still accessible in situations where service may not be available.
