Gmail now supports Android 13 notification permissions 
Upon setting up your new Android 13 device and opening Gmail, you will be asked if you want to allow notifications from the app. We recommend allowing notifications and visiting the Gmail settings page to control what type of email notifications you want to receive. | Learn more


Easily drop content into Slides from other apps on Android 
A few months ago, we added several new features and functionality to products like Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Keep on Android devices. The ability to drag and drop content from other Android apps into Slides is the latest update. We hope this enhances flexibility by giving you more ways to work with, display and organize your content. | Learn more
