Google hasannouncedthe latest in its series of quarterlyPixel Feature Drops- software updates that add neat new features to the company’s own-make products with the primary focus sat on its phones. For June 2023, though, the company is spreading the wealth around with pushes towards the Pixel Watch and Fitbit products.

What’s new in Google’s latest Pixel drop?

Here’s what currently-supported Pixel phones are getting:

Google Assistant voices

Two new Google Assistant voices - Line and Indigo - were announced abouta week ago, but are being promoted under the Pixel Feature Drop umbrella. Open Google Assistant, tap your Google account avatar, scroll toAssistant voice & soundsto see them.

Safety check

Google Assistant now also recognizes commands to start a safety check or even emergency contact sharing. If you’re in a potentially unsafe situation, you can have your phone ask you to check in after a set amount of time. If you don’t respond to the check, your live location information will be shared with your emergency contacts. This feature is part of the Pixel-exclusive (generally speaking) Personal Safety app.

Also part of Personal Safety, if your phone detects that you’re in a crash and don’t respond to a check-in prompt, it will nownotify your emergency contactsin addition to emergency services.

Google Home panel

The Google Home app’s quick toggle in the notification shade opens upa new panelthat lets you toggle spaces and devices without opening the full app.

Adaptive charging’s learning model now uses Google AI instead of a weird, arcane set of rules based on when you set your alarms (Android Police has a great explainer). It will learn when you tend to leave your device on the charger for a long time and adjust charge rates to be slower until about an hour before when you tend to unplug.

Anything else new in the June Pixel Feature Drop?

Owners of the Pixel 5 and 5a will feel a bit left out with the next set of phone features - while the former is set to lose out on official software support come October, the 5a still has more than a full year until August 2024.

Here are some model-specific feature additions:

On Pixel 6 and newer devices:

Pixel Watch users will get to enjoy the following new features:

Other Google updates

Not a feature, but seemingly just as important are the new Metal Links bands that Google is selling from 16 June for $200. Here’s theGoogle Store US listingif you’re interested.

Finally, customers of Fitbit will look to benefit with this drop as well, but again, which new features you get will be highly dependent on which band or watch you own.
