Google's Find Hub app to get satellite location sharing: Here's how it could work
According to a recent APK teardown by Android Authority, Google Find Hub v3.1.399-3 release has a few text strings which clearly refer to the upcoming functionality. The publication said that when Android users share their location with others using the Find Hub app, the app will send a 'one-off ping with your location', which means it won't continuously transmit your location in real-time, but instead drop a pin like Google Maps.
As it turns out, there may be a daily limit to how many times you can ping your location using satellites, but currently, we have no idea what it will be. But given that satellite connectivity is pretty limited and expensive to maintain, these restrictions sound fairly reasonable. Google will also reportedly show how many pings a user has left for the day and how much more time they will have to wait before being able to use the feature again.
Google had announced that Find Hub will be getting satellite connectivity sometime later, but the tech giant has yet to share a timeline on when it will be rolling out to everyone. However, some speculations suggest that the feature would be announced it at the upcoming Made by Google event, where the tech giant will be launching the much-anticipated Pixel 10 series phones.

Google unveils new AI tool ‘Flight Deals' to help users find cheap airfares
Google has launched a new AI tool to help users find flights more easily while securing the best fares. The AI-powered search tool called Flight Deals is accessible within Google Flights, the company's flight search portal where users can compare ticket prices and book tickets either directly through the airlines or other travel platforms. 'Flight Deals is designed for flexible travelers whose number one goal is saving money on their next trip,' Google said in a blog post on Thursday, August 14. 'Instead of playing with different dates, destinations and filters to uncover the best deals, you can just describe when, where and how you'd like to travel — as though you're talking to a friend — and Flight Deals will take care of the rest,' it added. Google is rolling out Flight Deals in beta. The AI tool will become available to users in India as well as the United States and Canada next week, as per the company. Users can start using Flight Deals by visiting Google Flights and clicking on the menu in the top-left corner. The tech giant also clarified that the Google Flights page will continue to be operational alongside Flight Deals. It is also working on adding a new option that lets users filter out economy class tickets for trips in the US and Canada. Flight Deals is powered by Google's advanced AI, the company said. It did not specify the AI model powering the search tool. The tool has been designed to 'understand the nuances of what you're looking for and identify matching destinations.' This means that users can submit non-specific prompts such as 'week-long trip this winter to a city with great food, nonstop only' or '10 day ski trip to a world-class resort with fresh powder.' Flight Deals then taps into real-time Google Flights data to show users 'relevant, up-to-date options from hundreds of airlines and booking sites.' 'You'll see the best bargains available that match your search, including destinations you may not have previously considered,' the company said.
