Google has finally decided to streamline the only thing we're supposed to do with our cell phones - making calls.
After years of using phonebook sharing apps, Google has added familiar caller ID to the latest version of the Android dialer, so if you get a call from a business or company, you'll know who's calling.
In the meantime, if you want to know who is calling you if it is a private person - you will have to continue using contact sharing apps, ask one of the best ones you can reach by Click here.
And speaking of the phone - Google has finally decided to connect Google Now - its 'smart' service - to the dialer, and as part of the partner updates you can tell Google the name of a business you want it to call, and Google Now will dial it immediately (in the case of a single business) or offer a list of businesses based on proximity (in the case of several).
Another report tells us about "Google Nearby," a service that will likely permanently erase the concept of privacy, and offer us services based on proximity to places or other telephone devices.
According to the report, the service will be able to offer to activate services such as WiFi or a microphone when we are in a predetermined location, or automatically connect and activate NFC when we are near predetermined devices. It is not yet clear what all the actions of the service will be.
