Google has added an Air Raid Alert system to its Android handsets in Ukraine to help Ukrainians receive early warning about possible bomb strikes.
it published early this month that revealed the steps it was taking to help Ukraine and mentioned that it started pushing out a rapid Air Raid Alerts system for Android.
Besides adding native Air Raid Alerts to Android in Ukraine, Google has promoted the use of third party Air Raid Alert apps in the Play Store Google was asked to develop this feature by the government of Ukraine to supplement the country's own system. The data that is used by Google to warn Ukrainians that they need to quickly find a safe spot comes from the alerts that Ukraine delivers itself.
Google also announced earlier this past week that it has stopped"the vast majority of our commercial activities in Russia – including ads on our properties and networks globally for all Russian-based advertisers, new Cloud sign ups, the payments functionality for most of our services, and monetization features for YouTube viewers in Russia." Yet, the company acknowledges that its free services including Search, Gmail, and YouTube are still up and running in Russia.
Google is also giving companies in countries bordering Ukraine the opportunity to include on their Business Profile in Google Maps and Search information about whether they offer services to Ukrainian refugees. Hotel firms are posting on their Business Profiles whether they are giving Ukrainian refugees free or discounted accommodations.
