Google Pixel Drop: Google has given a special gift to its Pixel users in June 2025. This time Pixel Drop is not just an update but a new experience, in which a lot of smart and interesting features have been added with the introduction of Android 16. With the new update, your Pixel phone has become more intelligent, helpful and a real companion for your everyday tasks.
Pixel VIPs Widget
Now it was never easy to know the updates of your special people. Google has introduced a new widget called Pixel VIPs, through which you can see the location, recent chats, birthdays and more of your family member, best friend or partner directly on the home screen. These VIPs can stay connected with you even during DND i.e. Do Not Disturb. Along with this, there is also an option to write notes so that you can remember what to say or send to whom. Meaning now Pixel is not only smart but also emotional.
Creativity in chatting
Now you can create fun AI stickers from your keyboard itself. Just type a line and Gboard will create a sticker according to your mood. This feature is especially useful when you want to give an expression in the chat, but are unable to find the words.
Pixel SOS
Now whether you are on a mountain track or in a place where there is no trace of mobile network, Pixel SOS will help you in rescuing. With the help of satellite connectivity, you can send emergency messages. This feature is currently active in Australia, but it can be expanded to more places soon.
Camera becomes teacher
Pixel’s camera will now also teach you which feature does what. As soon as you tap the ‘?’ icon at the top in the camera app, you will get demo and tips of every mode. This will make it easier for photography enthusiasts to understand the settings.
Magnifier app becomes smarter
Now reading has become easier. The new Magnifier app highlights text by detecting it live and gives haptic feedback, which will be of great benefit to people with visual problems.
Expressive Captions
Now the captions of the video or film will not be just text, but they will also reflect the tone and emotion. Whether you cannot hear or are just watching the video with the sound off, these captions will explain the real meaning of each dialogue to you.
Google Photos
The AI in the Photos app has now become so intelligent that it will tell itself what can be improved in your photo. Brightness, background blur or color tone will be set in one click. Also, features like Magic Eraser and Portrait Light have now become more user-friendly than before.
This June Pixel Drop update shows that Google gives equal importance to both the needs and emotions of its users. With Android 16, now the Pixel phone is not just a smartphone, but has become your digital companion.
