Google Translate rolls out new upgrades for iOS and Android.
Google Translate has updated its live translation feature for Android and iOS to include background processing and earpiece audio support.
Why it matters
Users can now multitask during long translation sessions and listen to translations privately via their phone's earpiece without needing headphones in noisy environments.
The details
More than a third of live translation sessions now last longer than five minutes. The earpiece audio feature was previously available only on Android.
What's next
Support for background live translations is coming soon for iOS users.
