#google contacts app

Google Contacts has recently gotten an update in-app that makes it easier to check the backup and sync status of your contacts saved on a Google account. It includes the total number of contacts stored to a user’s Google account and latest time they were synced to the web. These updates are rolling out now as part of Google Contacts version 4.49 for Android. At WWDC 2026, the company confirmed it partnered with Google, using the technologies behind Gemini, to create the next generation of Apple Foundation Models. Rather than relying strictly on its own hardware, Apple is looking to rely on Google's Gemini AI model running on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell B200 data center graphics chips. Originally, rumors suggested Apple might use Google's own custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for these cloud tasks, but the decision has officially flipped to NVIDIA's high-speed Blackwell architecture to ensure maximum performance and lower processing latency. Users can download Copilot on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
