Overview
- The removal of YouTube Music and Spotify playback controls in Android app versions 25.28–25.29 was traced to a server-side bug and the feature has been reinstated without an update.
- Version 25.29 introduces a redesigned overview page that moves the “Beliebte Zeiten” section above reviews and adds buttons for suggesting edits and measuring distances.
- Users can now manually enable Bluetooth-beacon navigation in tunnels via the app’s navigation settings to maintain accurate positioning where GPS signals are blocked.
- Google confirmed it will disable the follower feature on September 30, 2025, and automatically delete all related follower data.
- These updates underscore Google’s emphasis on enhancing core navigation tools while streamlining its feature portfolio based on user engagement.
