Google Reveals New Features in December's Pixel Feature Drop

Google's December software update for Pixel devices includes a long list of small new features. You can now ask Gemini Advanced to remember things about you to improve its responses. This "saved info" feature can remember things like if you're a vegetarian. Foldable devices now support Dual Screen, which puts the real-time viewfinder on both displays at the same time. The relatively new Pixel Screenshots app now automatically categorizes your screenshots and lets you apply filters when searching. It also adds new suggested actions, Like creating a calendar invite, getting directions, or adding a ticket to Google Wallet. The Recorder app has a new "Clear voice" option that reduces background noise. A new Simple View mode "increases your phone’s font size and touch sensitivity, making it easier to see and use controls, apps and widgets." A new Identity Check anti-theft feature automatically requires biometric authentication to change sensitive settings when it detects that you're in a new location. Other features and apps getting minor improvements include Gboard, Gemini Live, Call Screen, Made You Look, Emoji Kitchen, Circle to Search, Now Playing, Instagram, and Snapchat. Google also announced several new features coming to both Pixel and non-Pixel Android devices this month.
