Android: Today, Google updated its Search app to add a new card that will remember where you parked your car. Additionally, while previous versions allowed you to set custom nicknames for contacts like "my wife" or "my boss," you can now manage those from Settings.
The new parking detection feature will happen in the background if you have location services enabled. Most of the time you might not care, but it's worth having around for those occasions when you can't remember if you parked in the Spider-Man or Dr. Suess section at Universal. Plus, you don't need to install a second app to do so.
The nicknames feature is also pretty handy. Previously, you could create relationships with certain contacts by saying something like "Whitson Gordon is my boss", but that nickname would be invisible from there on out. Now, you can go to Settings and, under "Accounts & Privacy" you can manage or remove relationships. Of course, if you prefer voice commands, you can still use the ol' Google divorce command, "Susan is not my wife," to remove the connection.
The app is currently rolling out to some users via the Play Store, but if you want to jump the line, Android Police has an APK download at the via link below.
