Google Now On Tap is one of the new features integrated into Android 6.0. Among other important new features we can mention, for example, the ability to manage individual authorizations or even the Doze mode, which allows you to save real battery life.
And anyone who gets the Marshmallow update on their phone or bought an Android flagship from 2016 can now access the feature. In one app, with a long press of the Home button, Now on Tap scans the page you’re on and reveals the information it finds most interesting (celebrity name, place, movie title, etc.). Once complete, it will present you with additional data about it in a separate window at the bottom of your screen.
Google Assistant and personal cards are still available, but you have to tap the G logo at the bottom of the screen to access them; this is slightly less convenient for seeing the weather, your personal news feed or Google reminders.
