Get ready for an exciting November with the latest Pixel updates! We’ve got some magical surprises and innovative features to enhance your phone experience.
Unleash Your Creativity with Remix and More!
- Remix Revolution: Starting now, you can unleash your creativity and edit photos right within Google Messages. Remix, powered by our cutting-edge Nano Banana model, lets you reimagine any image, and the best part? Your friends, regardless of their phone brand, can enjoy your remixed masterpieces too! It’s like having a mini photo studio in your group chat.
But here’s where it gets controversial… Can you really call it art if it’s generated by AI? What do you think, art enthusiasts?
- Wickedly Themed Packs: Add a touch of enchantment to your Pixel with our ‘Wicked: For Good’ theme packs. Choose from three enchanting styles – For Good, Glinda, and Elphaba – and transform your device into a magical wonderland with a simple tap. It’s like having a piece of the movie right in your pocket!
And this is the part most people miss… These theme packs are a great way to personalize your phone and make it uniquely yours. What theme would you choose to represent your personality?
- AI-Assisted Notification Summaries: Say goodbye to lengthy chat threads overwhelming your notifications. Your Pixel now provides concise summaries of your conversations, making it easier to stay on top of important messages and focus on what matters.
Coming soon, your Pixel will also help manage notification overload by organizing and silencing less urgent alerts, ensuring you’re not disturbed by every little ping.
- Scam Detection: For our Pixel 6 and newer users in the U.S., we’ve got your back with Scam Detection. This feature warns you about potential scams in chat messages from popular apps, giving you an early warning to avoid falling victim to fraud.
But remember, scammers are clever and constantly adapt their tactics. Always exercise caution when answering calls or messages from unknown numbers.
-
VIP Treatment: We’re upgrading the VIP experience for your closest contacts. Message notifications from your VIPs will now be prioritized, keeping you connected throughout the day. And for your safety, your VIPs will have a crisis badge in the Contacts widget, ensuring you’re always aware of critical alerts.
-
Personalized Photo Edits: Ever had the perfect group photo ruined by closed eyes or forgotten sunglasses? Google Photos has your back! Just ask Photos to fix those imperfections, and it will use other pictures from your gallery to create a personalized, natural-looking image.
Try asking Photos to remove hats, open eyes, or even change a smirk to a smile. It’s like having your own personal photo editor!
-
Power Saving Mode: Extend your battery life while driving with Power Saving mode in Google Maps. With a simple press of the power button, you’ll get a simplified layout showing only essential information like upcoming turns, helping you navigate while conserving battery power.
-
Global Expansion: We’re bringing some of Pixel’s most helpful features to users worldwide. Scam Detection, which uses AI to detect scammer speech patterns during phone calls, is now available to Pixel 9+ users in the U.K., Ireland, India, Australia, and Canada.
Additionally, Call Notes, which records calls, generates transcripts, and provides next-steps, is now accessible in more regions, including Australia, Canada, the U.K., Ireland, and Japan.
