Google reveals likely topics for discussion at Google I/O this week

With Google I/O set to kick off on Wednesday, the company might have teased some of the topics it plans to discuss during the conference which kicks off this Wednesday and ends on Thursday. On Twitter, Google asked, “Which update are you most excited to see on May 11–12?” It provided four options:

• Security Updates
• Messaging Updates
• Cross-Device Updates
• New Partnerships

Android users are most excited to see an announcement at Google I/O related to Cross-Device Updates as that leads the way with 36.3% of the voting followed by Messaging Updates which received 27.9%. Security Updates is third with 24.7%, and a new partnership garnered only 11% of the votes. 

With cross-device updates, Android users could be able to do things such as use a Wear OS-powered timepiece to unlock an Android phone. Meanwhile, the Material Design team posted its own tweet asking which of the following were Android fans looking forward to at I/O:

• Variable type fonts
• Design and accessibility
• Chatting with our team
• All of the above.

It’s ‘All of the above’ that has collected the most votes with 45.2% while 33.1% are excited about Material Design’s Design and accessibility coming to Google I/O followed by Variable Type fonts (17.5%) and “chatting with our team” (4.3%).
