Google Pixel Feature Drop: A Wealth of Enhancements for Both New and Legacy Phones
Google is once again unveiling its latest set of features for its Pixel lineup, just in time. The newest Pixel feature drop brings Circle to Search to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, following its debut on Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series and earlier availability on Google’s Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro this year.
The functionality remains consistent across all devices: users can simply long-press the navigation bar or home button, then make a circle on the screen, scribble, highlight, or tap an image, text, or video to access comprehensive information about it. Shifting focus to Instagram, there’s exciting news for Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, or Pixel Fold users. They now have the ability to capture and share 10-bit HDR videos directly on Instagram Reels. Additionally, users can enhance their visual content experience by uploading and sharing Ultra HDR photos on their feeds.

Introducing app screen sharing, a new feature enabling users to share a single app during casting, recording, or presenting in a video call on their Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, or Pixel 5a 5G and newer phones. Now, users have the option to share only the specific app they choose, eliminating the need to share their entire screen if they prefer not to. Connecting previously used devices is now significantly streamlined, thanks to enhancements made to the Connected Devices settings page. Users can find a list of previously set-up Bluetooth accessories on their new phone or tablet and seamlessly pair them with Fast Pair.
Google Docs now offers markups, allowing users to incorporate handwritten annotations into their documents or assignments directly from their Pixel devices. Whether using a finger or stylus, users can seamlessly add annotations and select from various pen colors and highlighters to suit their preferences.
Excitingly, Google Pixel Tablet and the Pixel Watch are receiving a host of new features through the latest Feature Drop as well.
