A Google employee speaking over on Reddit has revealed a free bubble level tool within Google Search and Google Now, activated simply by searching for, not surprisingly, “bubble level”.

Android smartphone and tablets owners may already be aware of a number of cool hidden functions within Google Now, and now we're looking at yet another. This free bubble level can also be spotted on the iPhone, accessed using the same method.

Google's nifty new bubble level adapts based on whether you're viewing it in portrait or landscape, also serving as an alternative to similar apps on the Play Store. Although the look and feel of the tool is very basic, it does what it needs to do.

Android Police points out that an orientation issue reported on Chromium for Android 6.0 may cause the bubble level to malfunction on a number of devices, including the Nexus 5.

Of course, there are plenty of other free alternatives on the Play Store for precise measuring with improved functionality, but it's nice to know there's a quick and easy way to use a bubble level now, right within Google's apps.
