From across all platforms, users can now install Google Now for Android 4.1+. Google’s Now launcher debuted with the Nexus 5 last year, which brings a fresh new interface to the table. Later on, it arrived on the Google Play Store, but only for Nexus and Google Play edition devices.
Now, the good news is that a new update has rolled out to the Google Now Launcher which makes it compatible with any Android 4.1 and above smartphones and tablets. This means that now even non-Nexus and Google Play edition (GPe) devices can rock this new Google Now launcher. With this new update, anyone can change their device’s look and feel, and make it look similar to the stock Android device.
“Upgrade the launcher on your device to make Google Now one swipe away,” says the app’s description. “From your primary home screen, swipe right to access Google Now cards that give you just the right information, at just the right time.”
