Internet search giant Google has released a new beta version Google app for Android and it comes with a couple of new features. Starting for users who use the Google Now Launcher, the feature has received support for auto-rotation on smartphones. The Google Now Launcher presently only auto-rotates on tablets, but if you would like it to do the same on your phone, then you should download this beta version.
Initially, the feature was present in early Android Marshmallow developer previews, but it however, disappeared when the third one came out - and has not been observed until today. To enable auto-rotation, users need to go into the settings of the Google Now Launcher and tap on the new option that shows up at the bottom of the list.
Another new feature in this beta release is icon normalization. This feature resizes app icons to make them appear more consistent with one another - so users won't have a huge icon next to a small one, and so on. The company has some guidelines out for icon sizes, but most developers do not adhere to these. Of course, some situations arises where this auto-resizing doesn't go very well, but that's why this has been added to a beta release of the app. We predict an improved finalized version before it's been rolled out to everyone.
