Google Search on iOS now prompts you to install iOS apps

Google’s App Indexing has been available on Android for a while. The feature pulls content from Android apps to show in your search results and if you don’t have the app installed yet, it’ll share you the link to the app store. This feature is now available on iOS, too, from the Chrome for iOS app or the main Google app. It’s initially available to a few select partners but plans to release it publicly at a later date.

Snapchat won’t be coming to the Apple Watch

If you’ve been waiting to be able to see Snapchat snaps from your Apple Watch, you might be in for a real long wait. According to the messaging app’s CEO Evan Spiegel, they don’t intend to make an Apple Watch version of its app. “Why would you look at a small picture [on your wrist] when you can look at a large one on your phone?” Spiegel asked.

Spiegel said the company intends to focus more on the camera, photo editing tools, messaging, and content. They’re even working on getting rid of the need to hold your finger on the screen to watch videos.

Amazon introduces custom font for Kindle to iOS

 

Amazon wants to make its e-reader app more reader-friendly with this latest update for the iOS version of Kindle. The company has brought its exclusive Kindle font they call Bookerly to Apple devices. It was introduced to Kindle Fire devices last year.

Amazon also adds a new typesetting engine that they claim will let drop caps, images, and text adapt automatically with a “print-like layout dynamically [adjusting] for any combination of screen size and font setting.” Unfortunately, there isn’t any word yet when Amazon plans to bring this custom font to other mobile platforms.
