New Pixel 4 Google Assistant is rolling out support for three-button navigation


The Pixel 4 launched with a few innovative features, among them a new version of Google Assistant that integrates much tighter with the system than older implementations. After its initial release, some issues quickly arose, though. You couldn't use the new Assistant with G Suite accounts or with languages other than English, and you had to activate gesture navigation to get it to work. While G Suite users and non-English speakers are still left in the cold, the rethought Assistant finally supports the tried-and-true three-button navigation.
The change might not be active on everyone's Pixel 4 phones just yet, as it could be a server-side rollout. We can confirm that the new Assistant works with three-button navigation using Google app version 10.92.10.29, which isn't even the latest stable release anymore, but your mileage may vary. Using the beta might also jumpstart the experience for you, available by signing up for it on the Play Store or via a download from APK Mirror.
The navigation buttons disappear while you speak to the Assistant.
If you're in on the new Assistant with three-button navigation support, you'll find the experience isn't much different from the one you have with gesture navigation. Say the hotword, squeeze the frame of the phone, or hold the home button to start issuing commands, and you can use the Assistant like you usually do. If you've stuck with the regular Assistant before because you prefer the three-button navigation, you might be interested in our list of powerful example commands exclusive to the new experience coming your way.
Overall, this is an important advancement as it should especially help the impaired who absolutely depend on the accessible three-button navigation use their phone more easily. Let's hope Google adds the new Assistant to Pixel 4 phones with G Suite accounts next.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
