Latest Pixel feature drop is announced bringing many new capabilities for the Pixel 3a to 5a starting today
Pixel users love Now Playing because it tells them instantly the name and artist responsible for a song playing in the background. With the feature drop, if Now Playing isn’t able to automatically reveal the name and the artist of a song playing in the background, you can manually ask it to search for that information. While Now Playing normally doesn’t require an internet connection, the manual search will.
Using the machine learning tools powered by the Google Tensor chip, Conversation mode will get rid of some surrounding noise. Consider this a Magic Eraser for the ears. Simply point your Pixel’s camera at the person that you’re speaking with and the phone does all of the work. Those with a compatible Pixel model can get early access to the feature starting today.
Google’s latest update exterminates many Pixel 6 bugs and improves the lagging fingerprint sensor
Like AirDrop, Nearby Share will tell you when there are people around you with the feature enabled. Keep in mind that when you send files to multiple users, they are sent one at a time instead of all at once simultaneously. The Car Crash Detection feature, the one that calls for help automatically when your phone detects that an accident has occurred, is now available in Taiwan, Italy, and France, and the Recorder app will now recognize German, French, and Japanese.
Now’s the time to buy the Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro
The update also fixes an issue that caused unwanted noises to be heard on videos recorded with Pixel handsets when the phones were protected by certain cases. It also repairs a bug that caused the microphone to cut out in the middle of a call, fixes an issue that caused the “occasional audio glitch” when volume levels were adjusted, and exterminates a bug that kept the Now Playing music recognition feature from working.
