Google’s helpful scrollable Snapshot of your day has disappeared from telephones

Google’s Snapshot function, which was launched again in 2018 and sometimes (however not usually) up to date, is lastly gone, in response to an article at 9to5Google.

The Android function, which may very well be accessed by way of a small and simply neglected inbox icon on the Assistant display screen, would present all of your present data by way of a scrollable interface — issues comparable to appointments, climate forecasts, site visitors, and reminders. It was a small however helpful function — sadly, although, it was additionally not straightforward to search out until you knew the place to look. As a consequence, it’s possible that not many Android customers truly knew about it.

So it was nearly inevitable that Google would finally announce that Snapshot was going to be sunsetted — which it did when it started working notices throughout the app again in March. And now 9to5Google is reporting that the function appears to have disappeared fully from Android telephones. (Certainly, it’s not on my Pixel 6 cellphone working Android 12, though it was nonetheless accessible on my unique Pixel working Android 10.)

Google has been attempting out apps meant to collect and current us with our private data for years. It created Google Now again in 2012 to behave as a complete digital private assistant; that app was slowly phased out over time in favor of the rather more interactive (and verbal) Google Assistant, and its collections of visible information had been (type of) changed by Snapshot.

You can now depend Snapshot as one with all the opposite Google apps which have gone to their graves. If you’re a Snapshot fan and need to get the knowledge that was accessible, Google has published a support page with the varied locations you could find that information. Or you possibly can merely say “Hey, Google, what do I have scheduled for today?”
