Google has released a new feature drop for its older Pixel devices, including the Journal app on Pixel 8 and 9 series. The Journal lets users track thoughts, moods, and memories with photos and videos.
A new dashboard in the Settings app provides information about phone health, charging, and software updates. Users can access an AI chatbot experience through a search bar.
The Magnifier app has also been updated to support Pixel Fold devices, allowing users to quickly find text using voice or keyboard. The My Pixel app is now available in more countries, including Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, and Spain.
Additionally, Pixel Recorder summarization is now available in new languages, and phone by Google expansions include Live Scam Detection on certain models and Call Notes with recordings and transcripts.
