  • Bubble Bar (Pixel 10 Pro Fold): Keeps your active bubbles docked neatly at the bottom of the screen for quick, one-tap switching between tasks. [1]
Content Creation & AI
  • Gemini Omni: Paid Gemini subscribers get access to Gemini Omni, letting you create and edit videos using simple, conversational text prompts. [1, 2]
  • Screen Reactions: Integrates your selfie video directly into screen recordings, making it easy to create and share custom, green-screen style reaction videos. [1]
Call & Connectivity Upgrades
  • Manual Call Screen in India: Call screening capabilities are officially available on Pixel devices in India, helping you filter out unknown callers and see transcripts in real-time. [1]
  • Voice Translate for Pixel 10a: Supports real-time, speech-to-speech translation during calls. It currently features an English to Hindi preview so your conversations flow more authentically. [1, 2]
  • Quick Share with AirDrop: File-sharing interoperability is expanding to the Pixel 8a and 9a, allowing seamless transfers between Android and iPhone users. [1, 2]

Here is everything packed into the latest feature drop, broken down by how it changes your day-to-day experience.

⚡ Multitasking & Staying in the Flow

System-Wide Bubbles

The centerpiece of this update is the expansion of Bubbles. Borrowing the “chat head” concept from messaging apps, you can now turn full applications (like Chrome, Google Calendar, or the Gemini app) into floating windows that sit on top of whatever you are currently doing.

  • Tap into them to quickly look up info or type a note, then collapse them back down into a movable icon bubble when you are done.

  • Pixel Fold users get an exclusive Bubble Bar—a dedicated strip at the bottom-right of the unfolded display to cleanly arrange and jump between up to five floating apps.

Screen Reactions

Built directly into the new floating screen recorder, Screen Reactions lets you record your screen while simultaneously capturing your front-facing selfie camera. It automatically generates a resizable, draggable green-screen overlay of you reacting to the content, eliminating the need for third-party editing suites if you are making gameplay videos or reaction clips.

🤖 Next-Gen Gemini Upgrades

Video & Image Generation with Gemini Omni

Powered by Google’s new Nanobanana 3.0 model, Gemini Omni allows you to create and edit high-quality multimedia directly inside the Gemini app, Google Flow, or YouTube Shorts. Unlike older video generators, Omni features a deep, intuitive understanding of fluid dynamics, gravity, and kinetic energy (meaning no more floating shadows or bizarre, physics-defying artifacts). You can even use conversational prompts to edit existing media—like remixing your camera roll or telling Gemini to alter specific elements of a video naturally.

AI Music with Lyria 3

The Gemini app’s tools menu now features “Create music.” Driven by the Lyria 3 model, you can write a text description or upload a photo to generate original, high-quality audio tracks complete with lyrics. Once generated, you can continue chatting with Gemini to customize the tempo, vocal style, and genre.

🗺️ International Expansions & Smart Quality-of-Life Updates

  • Manual Call Screen Hits India: Pixel users in India can now tap to let Google’s Call Assist answer unknown numbers, providing a real-time transcription of who is calling and why before deciding to pick up.

  • Quick Share + AirDrop: The Pixel 8a and 9a now support cross-platform offline sharing with Apple devices via Quick Share, allowing seamless photo and video drops across ecosystems without an internet connection.

  • Voice Translate Expands: The real-time, speech-to-speech call translation feature (which translates the caller while preserving the unique tone of their voice) is now available on the more affordable Pixel 10a, with expanded language support including Hindi.

  • Take a Message Custom Greetings: The tool that acts as an advanced voicemail transcript assistant is expanding globally and now lets you record custom outgoing greetings for your callers.

  • Emergency Sharing for Pixel Watch: If your Pixel Watch or Phone detects a severe car crash, hard fall, or a Loss of Pulse event, it will now automatically trigger Emergency Sharing—broadcasting your location and notifying your pre-designated emergency contacts alongside dialing emergency services.

Availability

The rollout is hitting supported Pixel devices (Pixel 6 series and newer) in phases. Keep an eye out for a system update prompt or check the My Pixel app to dive into the new features.
