September 2025 has begun, and Google has released a suite of new features on Android smartphones that seek to make messaging easier, boost creative voice, and minimize media sharing across devices.
AI-powered messaging in Gboard
The latest update to Google’s Gboard brings advanced AI-powered writing tools to Android users. The keyboard now allows messages to be adjusted to formal, expressive, or concise tones. Users can also apply spelling and grammar corrections or proofread entire messages with a single tap. Importantly, all text processing occurs on-device, ensuring that personal data remains private and secure.
Upgraded Emoji Kitchen for creative expression
Google has expanded the Emoji Kitchen library, making it easier for users to explore, customize, and save personal favorite combinations of emoji. The update introduces more diverse recommended combinations of emoji, adding distinct visual representation to spice up conversations and online chatting.
Enhanced audio sharing with LE audio support
Android devices can connect two LE Audio Bluetooth headsets at the same time, making it possible to have shared listening experiences. You can also have group listening via a QR code, where several users can have the same listening on their respective headsets. This is the perfect feature to have personalized listening sessions, exercise, or just socializing.

Quick Share improvements for faster file transfers
Google has improved Quick Share, making it faster to send and receive files. You can quickly switch between send and receive modes, preview photos and video that have been shared, access the content right away, and track the progress of the transfer via a live indicator. These enhancements facilitate faster and easier file sharing.
Availability and rollout
The new Android features from the September 2025 update are gradually rolling out to eligible devices. Users should check their device settings for availability and ensure they have the latest system and app updates installed.
