Google has been pretty consistent with Feature Drops for supported Pixel phones, and today, the latest feature drop is rolling out for Pixel phones, Pixel Watch, and Fitbit devices. Google mentions how the rollout has started today and will be completed within the next few weeks.
This month's Pixel Feature Drop is big considering how Google has gone for three separate devices, so there is a lot to unpack. So we are going to take a look at everything that the search engine giant has announced and everything that you will be getting access to.
Pixel June Feature Drop brings some excellent additions for those on Pixel phones, watches, and even Fitbit wearables.
Let's talk about the stuff that is coming to Pixel phones. For starters, you can now use Google Assistant to schedule or share a safety check. For instance, if you are out and having a get-together with your friends, you can say, "Hey Google, start a safety check for 30 minutes.” Failure to respond during the safety check will alert your emergency contacts and your location will be shared with those people, as well. We do hope no one ever runs into such a terrible situation, but it is good to see that Google is adding this feature.
Moving further, car crash detection has become even better because now it will actually share your real-time location with people in your emergency contact list in addition to contacting emergency services.![]()
Moving further, the latest Pixel Feature drop also brings Macro Focus to video for Pixel 7 Pro phones. If you are someone who loves capturing details in their photos and wants to have the same feature in the videos, this is the time to try it out.
Google is also making it easier to take hands-free selfies with a new feature that would let you raise your palm once you have set a time for 3 or 10 seconds. This feature has been available on Samsung phones for some time, but now even Pixel users can benefit from it thanks to the latest Pixel Feature Drop. This feature is available on Pixel 6 and newer phones.

Moving on, Pixel 6 and newer phones can use cinematic wallpapers, which use the power of AI to transform a simple, two-dimensional photo into a dynamic three-dimensional masterpiece. You also have emoji wallpapers, allowing you, "mix and match over 4,000 emoji with different patterns and colors to create live wallpapers that fit your personality and mood."
Starting next week, all users on Pixel 6 and newer phones can export transcripts into Google Docs and then use that to generate speaker-labeled video clips, allowing them to even search for speakers within the recordings. This feature is excellent if you deal with a lot of transcribing because the feature is aimed to make your experience a lot smoother and more convenient.

That's now all. With the latest Pixel Feature Drop for June 2023, you will have quick access to all smart home controls. Pixel 6a and 7a will also get a feature that will allow the devices to lower the vibration when it detects that the phone is on a hard or flat surface. Pixel phones are also getting a feature whereAdaptive Chargingcan now benefit from Google AI to help preserve the battery of your phone. With the help of AI, your phone can actually predict long charging sessions based on the data previously available. Google Assistant now has access to two new voices that you can use from a total of 12 when you are using U.S. English.
Now that we have discussed all the features that the Pixel phones are getting. Google is also showing some love to Pixel Watch. With the latest Pixel Feature Drop, users will be able to check their oxygen saturation, which will help them identify just how much oxygen is in their blood while they are asleep. In addition to that, you can even track the information over time to understand trends and changes.

Pixel Watch is already equipped with the ability to track your heart rate in real time. With the latest update, however, you will be able to get a notification that will tell you if your heart rate is unusually high or low, this is a great feature as it would alert you about seeking medical attention.

Moving further, Google Assistant on Wear OS will now be available in Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Polish, and Spanish. You will be able to start a Spotify DJ session on your Wear OS watch. You will also be able to listen to podcasts and check what's in your rotation. For those who love running or exercising in general, Pixel Watch will now pause your exercise when you stop for some reason, and it will resume the exercise once it detects that you are moving once again.
Last but not least, the latest Pixel Feature drop is bringing some love to Fitbit devices, as well. After the update, the Exercise menu will now give you a full list of exercise modes that you can choose from. This feature will work on Charge 5, Luxe, and Inspire 3.
Another feature coming to all Fitbit devices is that you can check your Daily Readiness score. This score will tell you if your body is ready to face a workout or do you need more rest. This is an excellent feature for everyone with disturbed sleep routines because it will help you understand if you need more sleep and rest rather than actually getting out of bed and working out.
Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4 are getting a new feature that would log periods for you and will also allow you to view your cycle state and edit information, all of it from the watch. Additionally, Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4, Charge 5, Luxe, and Inspire 3 are getting support for Hindi, Arabic, Vietnamese, and more.
Sense 2 and Versa 4 users will also be able to change the clock face by simply pressing and holding the home screen. Last but not least, Charge 5, Luxe, and Inspire 3 are getting four new clock faces. So, you can go ahead and customize them to your heart's content.
This Pixel Feature Drop is easily one of the biggest that Google has announced and for all the right reasons. I am glad that the company has paid close attention to bringing new and improved features to all the devices in ecosystems. Hopefully, with the next feature drop, we might even get some features for Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold, so stay tuned, and for full information, you can check out the blog post here.
