- A new Google Play Services V25.13 update now takes place
- This means that phones and watches should get better battery life
- Google Wallet Pass can also have nicknames
Google pushes new Android updates in the form of Google Play Services V25.13 – Responsible for some of the technologies behind the scenes on Android devices – and there are improvements in battery life here, as well as a new feature for Google Wallet.
As spotted by Android Central, version notes for Google Play Services V25.13 include “updates to system management services that improve battery life and devices’ connectivity” between smartphones, smartwatches, Android TV, Google TV, Android Auto and Chromeos.
The update of Google Wallet, in the meantime, allows you to add a nickname to your passes inside the application: so if you have added a pass for something that has a fairly long or confused name by default, you can change it in something shorter and more memorable.
A final update update comes from an update of the Google Play Store application, which extends the “ask a question” feature to include video answers – a little additional help if you have any questions about the applications you are installing potentially.
No necessary action
Google does not quantify exactly the additional battery life on gadgets such as Google Pixel 9 or Google Pixel Watch 3, but any improvement will be welcome. Without a doubt, Boost users will vary between devices.
These bottom updates have been separated from major versions like Android 15 in recent years so that Google is able to postpone bug corrections and safety fixes faster. Many Google Play services and Google Play Store updates focus on connections between third -party and Android applications as a whole.
You have nothing to do to get this update: it should arrive automatically. You can check manually on your phone if you wish, choosing Applications from Android settings, then supporting Google Play services And Application details.
It should not be too long before obtaining the next big update, Android 16, for smartphones. We know that Google wants to get it out well before the appearance of Pixel 10 phones (in August, probably), and rumors point to the beginning of June for a launch date.
