New feature for Pixel 9 Pro Fold to work better with cases

Published

on

Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Foldable phones are great because they give you two screens. You can open them up for a big screen to watch videos or work or close them for a smaller, easy-to-carry screen. However, when you use cases with magnets, they can sometimes confuse the phone’s sensor that tells the phone if it’s open or closed. This makes the phone’s software think you’re still using it when you’re not.

Google is figuring out a way to fix this problem, especially for its foldable phones. In the latest test version of Android 16, Google has added new code to the Pixel System Services app. This code hints at a new setting called “better open/close detection.” This setting will help the Pixel Fold detect more accurately whether it’s open or closed. It’s particularly useful if you have a magnetic case, as it helps prevent the sensor from getting confused.

However, Google advises turning this setting off if you’re not using a magnetic accessory since it might make your battery run down faster.

You’ll find this new setting in the phone’s settings menu, probably under “Display & touch,” but it’s not available yet in the current test version of Android 16. We don’t know exactly when it will be available, but it might come with the final version of Android 16. Although the code only mentions the first Pixel Fold, it seems likely this feature will also work with the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

If you’ve used a magnetic case with your Pixel Fold or Pixel 9 Pro Fold, have you noticed any problems with how the phone detects when it’s open or closed? Or, if you use your Pixel 9 Pro Fold without a case, like some reviewers do, let us know how it’s been for you!

Android 16 brings simpler app controls

Published

on

Android 16

Google is working on Android 16, and it’s set to make managing apps easier than ever. A new feature spotted in the latest test version lets you tweak app settings right from the app’s info page. This means less digging through menus to change how an app works on your phone.

In the current Android setup, if you want to adjust things like permissions or notifications, you often have to jump between different screens. It’s not hard, but it can feel like a chore. With Android 16, everything you need—permissions, data use, and more—will be in one spot. For example, you could quickly turn off an app’s access to your camera or check how much battery it’s eating up, all without leaving that page.

This change comes from something called “App Settings Panels,” which Google is testing now. It’s not live for everyone yet, but it’s a sign of what’s coming. The idea is to save you time and make your phone feel smoother to use. Imagine opening an app’s info and seeing all the key options laid out simply—no extra taps needed.

There’s more good news: Android 16 might roll out sooner than usual. Some rumors say Google could drop it as early as June 2025, instead of the typical fall release. That’s because they’re speeding up how they build and test updates. Of course, this is still in the works, so the exact date could shift.

For anyone who loves keeping their phone just right, this update looks like a win. Fewer steps to control apps mean less hassle and more time enjoying your device. Keep an eye out—Android 16 could change how you handle your apps for the better!

Pixel 9’s new call notes feature: Share Your Call Transcripts Easily

Published

on

Pixel 9 Pro

Google’s Pixel 9 is bringing a handy tool called Call Notes, spotted in a recent app update analysis. This feature records phone calls and turns them into text, making it simple to save or share what was said. It’s part of the Google Phone app and could be a game-changer for users who need to keep track of conversations.

With Call Notes, you can create a written version of your call and send it to others via apps like Messages or email. The transcripts might also sync with the Notes app for easy access later. Screenshots from the update show options like “Share transcript” and “Save call note,” proving how user-friendly it is.

This tool seems perfect for people who want to review talks or share details without replaying the whole call. However, it’s still in testing, so not everyone can use it yet. The Pixel 9, set to launch soon, might roll this out fully. For now, it’s an exciting peek at how Google is making call management simpler and smarter.
