Google has just announced a massive update to Google Glass which adds a lock screen, Hangouts chat, direct YouTube uploading via a Glass app and a ‘wink to shoot a picture’ mode.
In the update (XE12), Google has finally brought support for sending and receiving messages via Hangouts to Glass as well as the ability to take a picture simply by winking your eye.
Uploading to YouTube straight from Glass is now also possible – once you’re done recording your video, either tap on the video and swipe to the YouTube share card, or say “ok glass, share with YouTube.”
A new lock screen mode will now clamp your headset down until you unlock it via taps and swipes in a pattern you set.
Google Glass is now iOS compatible
Highlighted in depth on the Google Glass support site, the XE12 update finally introduces iOS users to the MyGlass app (previously, an Android exclusive).
XE12 is currently rolling out to Google Glass headsets right now. Just make sure your Glass is connected to WiFi and charging to update as soon as XE12 is available for your device.
