- A new Google Play Services update V25.13 is now being implemented now
- It means that phones and watches should obtain a better battery life
- Google wallet passes can also have nicknames
Google is pressing new Android updates in the form of Google Play Services V25.13, responsible for some of the technologies behind the scene on the Android devices, and there are improvements in the battery duration here, as well as a new feature for Google Wallet.
As seen by Android Central, the version notes for Google Play Services V25.13 include “updates of systems management services that improve the battery life and device connectivity” on smartphones, smart watches, Android TV, Google TV, Android Auto and Chromeos.
Meanwhile, the update of the Google wallet allows you to add an nickname to your passes within the application: so you have added a pass for something that has a fairly long or confusing name by default, you can change it to something shorter and more memorable.
A final update to mention comes through an update of the Google Play Store application, which extends the function of ‘ask a question’ to include video answers, a little additional help if you have questions about the applications that you are potentially installing.
No action is needed
Google does not quantify exactly how much additional useful life will you see on devices such as Google Pixel 9 or Google Pixel Watch 3, but any improvements will be welcome. Without a doubt, Boost users will see will vary among the devices.
These background updates have separated from the main releases such as Android 15 in recent years so that Google can eliminate errors corrections and security patches faster. Many of Google Play services and Google Play Store updates focus on connections between third -party and Android applications as a whole.
Actually, you don’t have to do anything to get this update: it should arrive automatically. You can manually consult on your phone if you wish, choosing Applications From the Android configuration, then playing Google Play services and Application details.
It shouldn’t spend much time before we obtain the next great update, Android 16, for smartphones. We know that Google wants to take it out long before Pixel 10 phones appear (in August, probably), and rumors point to the beginning of June for a release date.
