Hidden code discovered embedded in Google Now shows that the app could soon host third-party services as well as voice alerts. If you are a friend of the digital assistant that's built into Android and the Google Search app for iOS, then it looks like you have a lot of new features for 2015.
The possible upgrades were discovered thanks to the observation of the Android Police team. A new section called "3rd Party Welcome", along with images covering topics such as health, food and music, show that Google Now is going to add some selected partners to official Google Apps. Still, it's still early, of course, and Android Police is warning users that it may take quite a while to see the changes.
Features with voice notifications seem to be coming faster. Voice input and output now plays a key role in the Android platform and the applications Google's, but the new framework will allow sharing, without requiring interaction (while driving, for example). Of course, again, this could just be an experimental move by Google, but it shows how its engineers think.

Google Now remains an essential part of Google's strategy – and that's why it's available for iOS and Android devices – with Siri and Cortana to try to overtake, the company from Mountain View seems to continue to push its development, as fast as possible. At this year's Google I/O conference we'll likely hear some official announcements about all, or some, of the above.
