Pixel phone updates
Instagram users may now record and share 10-bit HDR movies, according to the firm. It is also introducing support for Instagram users to share Ultra HDR photos. Users of the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Fold can access this feature.
With the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series in January, Google debuted its “Circle to search” function, which allows users to circle an object on the screen to do a search. Users of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro were able to access the feature later in the month, according to the firm. According to Google, owners of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will soon be able to utilize this capability.
Google has enhanced its call screening feature with features including discussion mode. In this mode, the new Pixel Drop includes a “Hello” chip that prompts the caller to talk with Google Assistant. If you are unable to screen the call immediately, the assistant may also request that the caller wait.
Pixel Watch updates
In order to improve user training, Google is releasing two updates for the original Pixel Watch: Pace training and Heart Zone training. When you deviate from the pace range you set before the workout, the pace training mode uses motion sensors and GPS to alert you. Similar to this, heart rate ranges are monitored by the Heart Zone training mode.
The first-generation Pixel Watch now has automated workout start and stop detection thanks to the latest update.
The Fitbit Relax app, which promotes mindfulness and guided experiences, is also being made available for both Pixel Watches by the firm.
Portfolio updates
Google is going to release an update that will allow you to share the screen of a single app during a video conversation on all devices, including the Pixel 5a and later models, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel Fold.
Furthermore, through future pairing features, the company is enabling the rapid pairing of a previously used Bluetooth accessory that is compatible with FastPair with a new device.
On the Pixel Tablet and Pixel 8 and later models, the company is also enabling users to annotate documents using their finger or a pen. With the latest update, the Pixel Tablet gains the ability to have the keyboard resize to a smaller size when voice input is being used.
