Google Mobile Updates: Voice Search Becomes Smarter, Chrome Passes 800 Million Monthly Users

The world of mobile devices are in clamor as Google is getting a lot of things on their hands. One of which is Chrome getting as much as 800 million users a month, as we as a smarter voice activated search.

With the new updates to the Google App, it helps users to ask more complex questions, Yahoo reported. In one report they said that the Google app is "growing up" and is coming to understand their users better.

The Google voice activated search can now answer questions with superlative words such as tallest, largest, etc, as well as ordered items and particular dates and periods in time. It can how break down complicated questions such as "Who was the U. S. President when Angels won the World Series?"

In a report by TechCrunch about the update, they say a machine with such abilities is "more of a feat." They also added that the update is that start of Google of becoming a "true semantic search engine" or something that can understand what a question mean.

Though the complexity of its abilities, there are some flaws such as very difficult questions which the engine would not understand correctly. An example would be asking "Who was Dakota Johnson's mom in the movie?" this will confuse the engine and show Melanie Griffith, the real mother of Dakota instead of her stage mother in 50 Shades of Grey, Jennifer Ehle. However, Google are on the works on fixing it.

Other than the update, the people using Google chrome on their mobile devices continue to grow as it reaches 800 people a month. They shared such new during the first day of the Chrome Dev Summit last Nov. 17. In a report by VentureBeat, this is twice as much user that the company had a year ago.

Google is just being to grow better and more accessible to users that in the end Google did change the life of users forever. It is just the push Google needed for better services.
