It does make me wonder how many apps on Android also do this and go completely undetected. Hopefully Google adds something similar.

- yen223 6y agoIn my Android 10 phone, if I copy a piece of text that looks like an address and open Google Maps, Google Maps will immediately offer the copied text as a search option. Google Maps doesn't do this if I copied, say, some random numbers. I'm not sure how the Google Maps app can do this without snooping at my clipboard.
- jankiehodgpodge 6y agoI'm pretty sure that's the OS itself analysing the highlighted text and offering suggestions on which app to open it with.
