➜ What's new in version 3.0.1
3.0.1: Location improvements & bug fixes
3.0.0: Answers before you ask with Google Now
Google Now’s location updates don’t require GPS. (learn more below)
Google Now updates your location to pinpoint the info you need. So, the location icon stays on. However, updates don’t require GPS and have minimal impact on your battery because:
• Cell towers & Wi-Fi provide location updates.
• If battery gets low, location updates pause.
• The app stays asleep until you move - a lot.
New and improved controls give easy access to location settings. Just tap the location icon in Google Now to manage Location Reporting.
