Google Maps has two new secret functions revealed based on the analysis of one of the latest beta versions of the application that is offered by the company Google for Android smartphone users. The first of them appeared to users these days and allows them to take a screenshot in the interface where information is available about a certain point of interest, the button replacing the one for sharing the location.
Until now, Google Maps did not have buttons to allow the recording of screenshots, so the introduction of one to do this is something surprising, apparently without any clear explanation. However, now users will have the possibility to share an image of the location they are viewing in Google Maps instead of directly sharing geolocation information, so it remains to be seen how many people will find this feature useful after expanding its availability.
Google Maps - two new secret features revealed today
Google Maps is also testing a new function that will allow the sharing of information about the energy level of the user's phone battery at the time of sharing the location. This is a function that no longer exists in any other application of this kind, so Google Maps will be the first to offer it and there will certainly be many users who will be happy to know if the person they are waiting for still has battery for phone or not.
" %s\'s battery level is between %s%% and %s%% and is charging.
%s\'s battery level is between %s%% and %s%% and is not charging.
%s\'s battery level is unknown "
Google Maps, in the beta version of the application for Android, does not yet have this functionality implemented in a 100% correct way, the source code being in the application, but the information about the battery is not yet retrieved. If this function will be implemented in the Android version of Google Maps, then it is very possible to have it available for the iPhone as well, the same being true for the function of recording screenshots.
