Google releases the latest Pixel Feature Drop with many exciting Gemini and AI features for Pixel phones.
Google is releasing the quarterly Pixel Feature Drop starting today (along with Android 15) and there are some great new capabilities for Pixel users with the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, and later. It’s a long list and not only are there great new features for Pixel handsets, but all Pixel Watch versions and the Pixel Tablet will also catch some of the new features that Google is dropping.Theft Protection can prevent a thief from grabbing your phone and discovering all of your personal data
Without further adieu, here are some of the new features:
Night Sight for Instagram is self-explanatory. As Google says, while on Instagram «you can snap «high-quality pictures in low-light with no issues so you can take photos and post
stunning Stories right from the Instagram app, no flash required! This is coming to Pixel 6 series models and later excluding the mid-range Pixel «a» models.
Even though I use my Pixel 6 Pro as a backup device, I’m still excited that it will be getting the new Theft Protection feature that includes Theft Detection Lock. If someone grabs your phone and runs, pedals (on a bike), or drives away, the phone will automatically lock. That is a brilliant idea. With Remote Lock, you can use any device along with your phone number and a security challenge to lock your phone quickly and, well, remotely. This could also come in handy.

Coming to the Pixel 6 series and later in today’s Feature Drop is Private Space which gives you a separate space to hide apps with sensitive information.
