Bing On Tap For Android

Importantly, this is becoming available before Android itself will be able to do that with the Google Now on Tap feature in the upcoming Android Marshmallow operating system. The file is less than 15MB and is compatible with models running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and above-which are practically all Android devices now in use, except for those whose units are three years old or so. Google Now on Tap is slated to roll out with Marshmallow this fall, but it looks like Microsoft may have beaten Google to the punch with the feature. Since the first dev preview was released earlier this Summer, Google has released two other versions of it each with some new additions to the software which are expected to make their debut in the consumer-ready release. In my brief tests the feature seemed a little rough around the edges.

This update will also mean that features such as saved passwords, auto sign in and auto-fill on apps will work seamlessly. It enables Google Now to know what you’re doing on your smart device so that it can fetch you more information whenever you simply ask or tap your home button.

Regarding Android 6.0 SDK and Android Marshmallow, Jamal Eason, Product Manager of Android, wrote in a blog post.

With Bing’s new knowledge graph API, developers could use this data to fulfill their users’ information needs and help users perform searches in context. Apps that have been documented to work thus far are Facebook and Hangouts.

The app will read the contents of the screen you’re looking at and suggest relevant information or apps.

Bing told us on a briefing yesterday that importing the Knowledge Graph into apps is part of the broader evolution of search.

The company aims to increase the number of support apps by giving developers the ability to integrate Snapshots right into their apps.

The “Quick Fingerprint Access” feature will allow users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets to unlock their devices as well as make authorized purchases from Google Play Store.
