Google to enhance video conferencing experience on Chromebooks; Will tackle fake reviews on the Play Store
Tech giant Google is reportedly developing new built-in features that include background blur and other effects to improve lighting with an aim to enhance the video conferencing experience on Chromebooks. Google is also bringing a new app review policy to make app ratings and reviews as genuine as possible in the Play Store.
According to a potential feature flag, the Chrome OS team is developing a background blur effect, available on Apple’s macOS machines powered by Apple Silicon, for Chromebooks reports Android Central. The report said that adding these effects to Chromebooks as a built-in feature will significantly improve user experience on the platform, which has traditionally lagged behind Windows PCs and MacBooks in terms of features.
Google’s new policy to filter out suspicious ratings, and reviews on Play Store will hold up user-submitted reviews and ratings by around 24 hours before they go public, assuming they’re from real people, reports Android Central. As per the report, the tech giant aims for the new policy to detect suspicious ratings and reviews on Android apps.
“To allow us to automatically detect suspicious Ratings or Reviews activity, we are introducing a delay of around 24 hours from when users submit Ratings or Reviews to when those submissions are published,” Google was quoted as saying in an advisory.
The report mentioned that the new policy might help to reduce the spread of fake reviews on online products. The tech giant warned against posting the same review multiple times, as well as reviews for the same content from multiple accounts, the report said.
The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation into Google and Amazon last year to determine whether they “may not have done enough” to combat fake reviews on their respective platforms.
