Srinivasan explains:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou may need to close and re-open the app couple of times before the feature works as expected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s currently no word on iOS availability, however if testing proves successful it will likely roll out to more platforms, including both smartphones and tablets.<\/p>\n<p>A \u2018Recent\u2019 tab is nothing new, however changes to code and indeed the implementation of AI all serve to make a worker\u2019s life even easier, and if we can find that file we were looking for without the hassle, then we\u2019re all for it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Here\u2019s our roundup of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/the-best-free-android-apps\"><u>best free Android apps<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" data-reactroot id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent\">\n<section>\n<p>Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div data-reactroot id=\"slice-container-authorBio\">\n<p>With several years\u2019 experience freelancing in tech and automotive circles, Craig\u2019s specific interests lie in technology that is designed to better our lives, including AI and ML, productivity aids, and smart fitness.
