Google possesses a brand in nearly every sector of the online world (and beyond) today. While you’re likely acquainted with Google’s most recognized offerings, such as Gmail, YouTube, and Gemini, there are additional popular applications you might have been using for quite some time but may not have realized are also part of the company.
These applications provide excellent tools to assist you with various elements of everyday life, whether you’re commuting, adjusting certain features of a photo, or even connecting your wearable to an Android or iOS device for health tracking. Google has such a significant influence on our digital existence that we occasionally overlook how the company is continually incorporating new assets to strengthen its tech empire and embed itself further into our daily routines.
For instance, YouTube was not a Google application in the past. However, after the company’s acquisition in 2006, it began to thoroughly integrate the platform across its ecosystem in search results, Android (with an application), advertisements, and more. Even what we currently refer to as Google Maps, which recently underwent a redesign in the U.S., was developed through various acquisitions and ongoing enhancements to evolve into what it is today. In that vein, here are some additional popular applications you might not have known were included in Google’s ecosystem … until now.
