Google reports big profits as it continues to invest in mobile

It's been nearly a year since Google underwent a major organization do-over, with a renaming of the overall parent company to Alphabet, while Google itself was now just a sub-firm within. But, as its latest earnings results suggest, a majority of Alphabet's profits still come from regular ol' Google. Of the $21.5 billion it made in revenue, $21.3 billion was from Google-related ventures like search and advertising. Also, that $21.5 billion number? That's a whopping 21 percent increase from this time last year.


Its "Other Bets" segments -- which include Nest, Google Fiber and Google X -- made money too, but it lost more than it gained. Specifically, it made $185 million in total but lost $859 million in expenditure. Which isn't too surprising considering the experimental nature of most of these businesses, plus the loss is a drop in the bucket when compared to the company's overall revenue and profit.

One of the reasons for such growth is Google's big push in mobile. As CEO Sundar Pichai said during the investor call, mobile is the "engine" that drives much of the business. That includes advertising, YouTube, its platforms such as Chrome and Android, the cloud and of course mobile search. Indeed, CFO Ruth Porat says that ad revenue from mobile search was a big reason for the increase in profits this past quarter.

Going forward, expect to see a lot more investment in AI. Already, the company has put quite a bit of money in the area, using AI to improve everything from search to core Google products. "It's a pivotal and transformational moment" in machine learning, Pichai said on the call. Search is smarter and more useful, he said, while GBoard (its IOS keyboard) and Google Photos are just a couple of Google products that are enhanced with machine learning and natural language processing. "Advances like these make searches even more relevant," he said.

Pichai also called out AMP, its internal effort to make the mobile web experience faster and its work with YouTube. He says YouTube is a "thriving home for creators" and that the big part of its focus in recent years has been on live video. Though YouTube is a little late to the game as far as mobile live video streaming, Pichai says that the company is definitely committed to pushing it forward. A recent livestream of the Champion's League in the UK, for example, was the country's biggest ever livestream event.

As to what to expect the rest of the year, Pichai gave us few hints. He did, however, mention Daydream, Google's VR platform. He says Google has been working with partners to turn out several Daydream-ready phones, controllers and headsets that'll be ready by fall.

Google Maps for iOS now lets you add multiple stops to trips

The Google Maps app for iOS now lets users add multiple destinations in a single trip, just like on the web and, more recently, on Android.

Just a few weeks ago, when Google announced that you could have multiple stops on trips in the Android version of Google Maps, the company said the feature would come to iOS, and now it’s here. The feature is part of version 4.21.0 of the iOS app, which arrived in the App Store on July 25.

All you have to do is enter a destination, select the blue navigation button, hit the three dots near the top right corner of the screen, and tap “Add stop,” Google Maps product manager Aditya Dhanrajani wrote in a blog post. Add as many stops as you like.

If you’re in the middle of a trip in navigation mode, you can also add a stop, using the magnifying glass icon to find a specific place. You can also remove stops as necessary, by swiping up from the trip duration menu on the bottom and hitting the X next to specific stops, or by hitting the X button to the left of the trip duration and tapping “remove stop.” Alternatively you can choose the “exit navigation” button, then tap in to the destinations at the top to cancel destinations. From there you can also add more stops or swap the order of the stops as you see fit.

Google adds spam protection, Nexus and Android One only

If you thought web page ads and e-mail spam were the most annoying things in the world, then you probably have been on the receiving end of spam calls. This day and age, it is still common to receive such unwanted attempts on our smartphones. Luckily, technology has made identifying and blocking those numbers a lot easier. Google has finally made use of that technology for its Android phone app, giving users much needed peace of mind. The catch? It's only available for Google's own smartphones.

The way it works is easy enough. Google already holds a wealth of phone numbers in its database (which might scare some to death) and already does caller ID on Android. It's just one step further to identify which of those numbers come from known spam sources. When the Phone app identifies one as such, it flashes a big red warning informing the user of that fact, instead of the usual green block that accompanies safe calls. Users can then opt to reject or, for whatever reason, take the call at their discretion.

No spam detection is perfect, of course, but users can help refine the system. If a spam call manages to get through undetected, they can report the number as spam and will be marked as such for future calls. Or if a number was mistakenly labeled as spam, they can mark it otherwise.

While it's definitely a nice convenience, especially for markets where telemarketers are a sad fact of life, it is quite unfortunate that, for whatever reason, Google has limited it to its Nexus and Android One smartphones. That said, there are apps available that also provide this functionality, but there's definitely something that can be said for a feature that comes built-in. Then again, not everyone might be comfortable letting Google take a peek at every incoming call number.

Google Play starts showing apps' actual download sizes

Google Play now displays the actual storage space a whole app or an upgrade will take up, so you don't accidentally download anything too big. If an update is only 2.91MB, it will show that exact figure right there in each app's detail box. That will give you the chance to reconsider your download or to free up some space before getting a particularly large game or VR experience.

Besides displaying more accurate file sizes, Google also tweaked its Play Store algorithm to make updates even smaller. Most Android apps (98 percent of them) only download changes to their APK files when you update them, and those new files merge with the old ones. The updated algorithm will make those updates up to 50 percent smaller.

Finally, Google's improved compression algorithms will reduce big games' file sizes, which could be as huge as 2GB, by around 12 percent. Those with high-end phones might not get much out of these changes, but they could make a big difference for those who own more affordable devices with limited storage.

Video messages are available now feature Hangouts app on your Android!

Hangouts application received this week on a new renovation carried with him an advantage as long waited for its users, and is the ability to receive and send previously recorded video messages or recorded directly, provided the video is not exceeded for a maximum of one minute.

If you are among the IOS device users you may find it quite ironic, given the availability of feature on their devices since the middle of 2014, what prompted the company to wait for a year and a half in order to allow the service to users of Android, especially that Android is usually a race for new features.

However, it remains Android users take precedence again, where he will be able to download videos accurately 1080p, while users of IOS lacks feature of these circumstances, and therefore they have videos accurately 360p.

Google dropped plans to make its own VR headset

You would think with all the excitement around the growing VR market following the release of the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets that Google would be one of the next big tech companies to announce their own hardware. Turns out, they were considering just that. A new report from Recode reveals that Google was once working on stand-alone VR hardware — not just a successor to the Cardboard, but something on the same level as the Rift and Vive.

If this prospect sounds exciting to you, it's unfortunately followed by bad news.Recode's sources have said that Google ended up ditching these plans, and instead chose to focus on the mobile VR market, moving ahead with Daydream, the Android-based platform that was announced at the I/O event this year.

The report doesn't reveal the exact reason Google dropped the project or how far into development it was, but it seems it was being handled by around 50 employees at the experimental X labs division. Not only was the headset its own standalone device — not needing a smartphone like Cardboard — but it was powered by its own operating system, separate from Android.

Without more details we'll never known exactly what could've been with Google's own VR headset, but at this point it seems wise to have stuck with advancing the mobile VR market. The VR ecosystem is still brand new, and the Rift and Vive are already vying for consumer's money, with the PlayStation VR joining the mix soon as well.

Unlike in the full-fledged headset segment, Google already has a strong head start in mobile with its Cardboard, which is why Daydream is a much more natural evolution.

Google Photos for iOS gets a new cropping tool

Earlier this month, Google pushed out an update for Google Photos on Android, and now it has followed it up with an update for iOS, taking that app up to version 1.12.1. The update is a relatively small one, though it’ll prove useful for most users: there’s a new cropping tool, which is the big change, as well as some “improved support” for taking photos in a burst. The app is available from the iTunes store now.

The iPhone does a pretty great job of taking burst photos, and now hopefully the Google Photos app for iOS will be able to suitably match it. The app will also start up faster now, according to the app’s changelog, and the app will supposedly now use less cellular data and will have less of a drain on the phone’s battery.

With the new cropping tool, users can fire up a photo and easily edit it on their mobile device, then save the cropped version. This is a more substantial update that the one sent out for the Android version — in that case, it brought with it performance improvements and bug fixes.

Google Photos has proven popular with users on both platforms, and per Google’s announcement in late May, it now has more than 200 million users and is home to more than 24 billion selfies. Check out the timeline below for related news!

Google is testing internet speeds straight from search

For years Ookla has dominated internet speed test traffic, but Netflix recently unveiled a simpler option. Now, Google may be muscling into the game with its own test that works straight from search. Internet marketer Dr. Pete Meyers spotted an "Internet speed test" appearing directly in search results prompted by the query "check internet speed." If you click the "run speed test" box (below), Google's Measurement Lab checks your connection speed and gives more details that can help system administrators.

                                                   

You can try the query yourself, but it doesn't appear to be live for the majority of users. You'll likely get a similar result from Google's Measurement Labs "NDT" tool, however. In my case (top), it showed aslower speed than I get from Netflix or Ookla, possibly because of the location of the testing server. While Google appears to be testing the tool, it may not actually release it, so we've reached out for more info.

Google is actually lagging in consumer speed testing, because in addition to Ookla and Netflix, rival Bing already shows speed test results straight from search. In a FAQ page, Google explains that its own test takes about 30 seconds and consumes 9.4 MB of data in the US. The Measurement Lab was first launched in 2009 with the aim of "sustaining the Internet as an open platform for consumer choice and innovation," according to co-founder and internet pioneer Vin Cerf.
