Google Launches Pixel Watch Metal Bands, Delivers A Slew Of Updates For Fitbit, Pixel Phones – SlashGear

The Pixel phones also get a bunch of practically convenient tricks. To start, the car crash detection system gets an alert upgrade. That means if you get into an accident, the phone will automatically share your live location with family members and call your emergency contacts. Of course, it will also call for emergency medical help.

On a similar note, users can ask Google Assistant to start the emergency sharing feature that will share a person’s whereabouts with family members. Additionally, the assistant can also be summoned to begin the safety check feature, which comes in handy if you want to keep an eye on your loved ones when they’re out and about.

If the safety check timer doesn’t get a response within 30 minutes, emergency contacts are automatically alerted and real-time location is also relayed. Pixel camera enthusiasts can now click a timed selfie with a hand gesture and also take advantage of the macro focus mode in videos. The assistant is also getting two new voices, haptic feedback has been refined, and an adaptive charging feature will boost the longevity of the Pixel phone’s battery.

The cinematic wallpaper trick, which gives a 3D motion spin to 2D pictures, is now available for Pixels, alongside the ability to create custom emoji wallpapers. Another extremely cool feature is the ability to export call recording transcripts in Google Docs, complete with speaker labeling for both video and audio clips.
