Improved Call Screen

March update brings a “hello” chip to the Call Screen feature, which will display when a caller is unresponsive. To enable it, just tap the button while screening a call.

Once done, Google Assistant will prompt the caller to speak, so you can understand why they’re trying to reach you. If you can’t answer, the Assistant will let the caller know to wait a bit longer as they try to reach you.

HDR: Pixel Camera x Instagram

Google announced that compatible Pixel devices can now capture and share vivid 10-bit HDR videos directly on Instagram Reels, and upload and share beautiful Ultra HDR photos on Instagram feed.

Circle to Search expanding…

Debuted with the Galaxy S24 series, the Circle to Search was recently rolled out to the Pixel 8 series. Today, Google confirmed that the innovative Circle to Search feature is coming soon to Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones.

Circle to Search: Simply long-press the Pixel home button or navigation bar and circle, scribble, highlight, or tap an image, text, or video, and get the information you need right where you are.
