Google plans to integrate its digital assistant into the new Android OS. Third-party app developers will also be able to use it in their apps, the report said. The company is reportedly considering integrating the search bar directly on Android’s home screen with Google Assistant. However, these changes have not been finalized yet. Additionally, Android PK is internally called Pistachio Ice Cream but the official name will be different, the report said.

As mentioned earlier, Google may announce Android P during its I / O event in May. However, only the Pixel and Nexus devices can be expected to receive the update after the official launch, as was the case with Android 8.0 Oreo. The company’s current latest Android version, Oreo, was launched in August last year. It updates eligible smartphones with features like Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode, Notification Dots, Autofill Password and Android Instant App.
