With Gemini’s new Agent feature, you can ask the Assistant to complete tasks on your behalf inside “select” apps, including Uber and Grubhub. It will work in the background while you use your phone, but Google notes that you can monitor or interrupt its work at any time. The feature will also be available on Samsung S26 phones, ahead of similar Siri features that have been delayed for months now.
With the Gemini update, Google is adding some new features to Circle to Search, which lets you search for anything by drawing a circle around your screen. Now, users of the entire Pixel 10 lineup can use Circle to Search to break down an outfit and find individual pieces, as well as select an option to try on the look virtually.
Google is also updating Magic Cue, a feature that can proactively make suggestions based on context across messaging, email, weather, and phone apps. When your friend asks for a restaurant recommendation, Magic Cue will automatically provide suggestions based on their preferences. The feature is coming to the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold in “select” countries and languages. These devices will also add a new “Relax” view, which “reduces visual stimulation from colors that are too bright or saturated.”
New features are coming to old Pixel phones too. The Pixel 8 and above will feature a new desktop experience when plugged into an external display, while those with the Pixel 7 and newer can use Google’s At-a-Glance widget to get updates on departures, delays, and alternative routes for their commute. Meanwhile, the Pixel 6 and above add support for the Now Playing app that can recognize music playing around you, custom AI-generated app icons, and a way to view sports scores and stock market prices from the home or lockscreen.
