Technology
Android 17 is here, and it's packed with upgrades for Pixel devices.
You get "Bubbles" for quick app access, temporary location sharing for extra safety, and a new biometric "Mark as lost" option in Find Hub.
There are also tougher PIN protections and fun Screen Reactions for selfie videos.
June Pixel drop hits Pixel 6+
The June Pixel Drop adds custom greetings in "Take a Message," real-time Voice Translate on the Pixel 10a, plus new AI tools, Gemini Omni and Lyria 3, for creating videos or music from text prompts.
Gaming gets better on foldables, parental controls expand, and Quick Share now works more like AirDrop.
The update starts rolling out to Pixel 6+ today and will hit other top phones later this year.
