Google has released its December Pixel Feature Drop, which includes a slew of new features, updates, and enhancements for eligible Pixel devices. This update improves the user experience by adding additional Gemini functionality as well as increased camera and security capabilities. Let’s look at all of the interesting new features.
Improved Screenshots
Google has redesigned the Pixel Screenshots tool to help you organize your screenshots more easily. The ‘Circle to Search’ function allows you to save your favorite screenshots with a single press.
What more? Screenshots are now automatically grouped, making it simple to find specific files with search filters. Handy features include the option to save ticket or payment card screenshots directly to Google Wallet for easy access.
Gemini becomes smarter
The Gemini AI now has a new Saved Info function that allows users to personalize their interactions. You can save preferences and interests, allowing Gemini to provide responses that are personalized to your needs. There is even the opportunity to access, update, or remove the saved information at any moment.
Gemini’s new features include phoning contacts, writing and sending messages using default apps, setting alarms, manipulating device settings, and even launching the camera. It now supports music streaming services like Spotify and smart home gadget controls that are tied to your Google account.
Camera & Sharing Improvement
The Pixel Feature Drop improves camera capabilities, allowing users to capture and share Ultra HDR photographs easily on platforms such as Instagram. Snapchat sharing is now more efficient, thanks to Photo Picker, which provides direct access to media folders.
