Version 4.9 has a new toggle in the settings that lets you turn on or off lock screen notifications for cards. An A teardown by Android lice also uncovered a setting to tell to stop collecting data about app usage preferences, though it looks like that only works with the Android M preview for now. ok for the update in the ay Store or A Mirror.

ay Services

This update adds in the Nearby A, which allows for detection by connection to other devices over Bluetooth. There’s no direct mention of a tie-in to ’s iBeacon competitor dystone, but it’s likely some of that groundwork is there underneath. ay Services updates automatically through the ay Store ( doesn’t publish a direct link) but you can update it yourself now courtesy of A Mirror.
