Gmail now allows you to check whether your mail has appeared in the databases merged into the darknet and find out what actions should be taken to protect your account. So far, the feature is only available to US users with a Google One subscription, but support is promised to roll out to 20 more countries in the coming months.

Spotify users will be able to launch Spotify DJ, a personalized selection of music and podcasts, right from their wrist. And Google Keep now allows you to add a quick access icon to a specific note or list to the screen.
Also among the new features:
Practice Reading is a feature for thousands of children's e—books on Google Play Books that will allow young readers to listen to the pronunciation of new words and learn their meaning. At the start, it works only with English.
Users from Washington and San Francisco will be able to pay for toll roads using SmarTrip and Clipper cards in Google Wallet directly from the watch on Wear OS.
Emoji Kitchen (an editor in Gboard that allows you to combine multiple emojis into one) adds support for three characters: 🦈 , 🐬 and 🐋.
All the described functions have already begun to appear on compatible devices and in the declared regions. It may take several weeks to distribute to all users.
