AI will also suggest relevant replies and actions, so you can just tap a button to send a message, share your ETA, or start a call. (This was announced at Galaxy Unpacked last month but should be rolling out now.)
3) Lookout’s Image Q&A feature is now rolling out globally in English! This feature left closed beta last September & was available in the US, UK, and Canada. Image Q&A uses AI to auto-generate descriptions of images.

This feature uses AI and augmented reality to help you find information about nearby stores. Now, this feature has been upgraded with screen reader support, so you can point your phone’s camera at your surroundings and have TalkBack read the place’s information out loud.
