Yesterday was Update Extravaganza dnesday, so if you’re wondering what all those app updates popping up in your notifications are all about, we’ve broken it down for you.

llet & Translate

pushed forth menial updates to several of its core apps, including Maps, Search, YouTube, as well as llet, which we reported on yesterday, Translate, the latter of which now lets you draw symbols foreign alphabets in 13 new languages, including Arabic, Bosnian, Cebuano, Gujarati, Hmong, nada, Maltese, Mongolian, rsian, njabi, Somali, Tamil, Telugu.

Maps

update googlemaps

Maps has been updated to version 7.7 its most apparent new feature is that it now displays upcoming events at places of interest near you.

Android lice writes that there’s a string of code that indicates that automatic dimming will return to turn-by-turn navigation sometime in the future, but that it’s not readily available right now.

Search

Search—essentially the brains behind Now—now features full-fledged Cricket updates. Yes, we’re talking about the bat–ball sport that’s mostly popular in Southeast Asian countries like India. There are also other minor sports card-related updates, as well as exped information for Stocks.

YouTube

initially released the “dogfood” version of the YouTube app (the one meant for internal testing at ) before sending out another update to remedy that folly. The ay Store now has the actual version of YouTube you’re looking for it features a few minor interface changes, including an updated slide-over menu the ability to reply to a comment by selecting it.

Chromecast & Chrome Beta

figured we’d lump the “Chromes” together. Chromecast received a few minor bug fixed its settings menu has been moved for “easier navigation,” while Chrome Beta also received a few unspecified bug fixes.

You can pick up all these updates in the ay store, or wait patiently as their rollout reaches your Android devices.
