Google is adding a screenshot editor to Chrome for Android

In order to make annotations a simpler and more straightforward process, Google rolled out a new markup tool in Android 9 Pie last year. While the tool was initially limited to devices running Android 9, it was soon unofficially ported over to phones running older versions of Android. Earlier this year in September, Google started testing a couple of new features in the Google Photos app and among these was a new markup too. The markup tool was released to Google Photos towards the end of last month and now Google is planning on bringing a similar feature to Chrome on Android.
 

 
 

The upcoming screenshot editor was spotted in a recently merged commit on the Chromium Gerrit. The commit in question reveals code regarding a new flag for the “Chrome Share Screenshots” feature that “Enables UI to edit and share screenshots”.
 
 
As of now, it isn’t clear what the editing UI would look like or what features would be included, but we can expect it to be somewhat similar to the editing UI found in other Google apps. A bug report for the feature also reveals some key information regarding the feature and suggests that the screenshot image editor will “utilize the Ink image editor library”.
 
As of now, the feature seems to be in the early stages of development so it would be quite a while before it hits the Chrome stable release on Android. However, we can expect to see the feature in action in a beta version of the browser sometime in the near future. Since we’re talking about upcoming features in Google Chrome, it’s worth noting that Google is also testing a radically new UI for Chrome’s new tab page. The new UI is a far cry from the current new tab page and shifts all of the UI elements towards the top of the display.

Awesome msg. Ek Sach Chupa Hota Hai :- Jab Koi Kisi Ko Kehta Hai Ki "Mazaak Tha Yaar". Ek Feeling Chupi Hoti Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Mujhe Koi Farq Nahi Padta". Ek Dard Chupa Hota Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Its Ok". Ek Zarurat Chupi Hoti Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Mujhe Akela Chhod Do". Ek Gehri Baat Chupi Hoti Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Pata Nahi". Ek Samundar Chupa Hota Hai Baato Ka :- Jab Koi "Khamosh Rehta Hai"..... Isi liye ek Open Heart Surgery unit k baahar likha huwa tha k...."Agar Dil Khol Lete Apne Yaaro Ke Saath,To Aaj Kholna Na Padta Auozaro K Saath".
