Key Pixel Settings to Change on Your Google Phone

Google's Pixel phones are chock-full of helpful, smart features, and they capture some of the best-looking photographs on a mobile device. It's why they're among our favorite Android smartphones. But like several of its peers, Google doesn't have many of its best features turned on by default. For example, Call Screening blocks unwanted phone calls on your behalf, and you need to turn it on yourself. That's what I'm here for. I test smartphones for a living, and I'm constantly switching to a ne

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-25 00:00:44

Joe Maring / Android Authority One of my favorite reasons for using a Google Pixel phone is the incredible suite of Pixel-exclusive software features. Whether it’s Now Playing automatically identifying songs or using the numerous Call Assist tools to make phone calls less of a headache, it’s these features that make using a Pixel so special. Google has ushered in a load of additional software tricks with the Pixel 10 series, one of them being Daily Hub. Daily Hub is supposed to be a one-stop s

I tested Pixel Journal vs Apple Journal to see if AI insights can beat a mindfulness approach

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-24 16:00:55

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When Apple announced the Apple Journal app in 2023, I was pretty excited. As an old-school physical journal aficionado, I’ve tried loads of journaling apps going back to the early days of smartphones and I have my favorites. However, more apps that bring new ideas and features to the mix are always welcome. To be fair, I didn’t expect to swap out my preferred app. But swap out I did.
