This function is pretty opaque, and unless Google officially reveals so, our guess would be as good as yours.<\/p>\n<p>Given that we now have a deadline for completing the transition to Gemini, it is likely that these changes will go live sooner rather than later. We\u2019ll keep you updated when we learn more.<\/p>\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
