Google’s latest feature drop for Pixel phones adds yet more features to At a Glance, a widget designed to surface important information on home and lock screens. There’s also a new shortcut that offers easier access to vaccine cards and a new music remix app created in collaboration with Teenage Engineering. The update will begin rolling out today for the Pixel 4 and up.<\/p>\n
The At a Glance widget is one of the Pixel’s signature features, offering a quick summary of important information on the home and lock screen. With this latest update, it’ll be able to display a video feed from a connected Nest Doorbell directly on the lock screen, so you won’t have to open a notification to see who’s calling. It’ll also be able to remind you to turn off your phone’s flashlight if it’s left on, and Google adds that it’s working on an update to offer air quality alerts when you’re in a polluted area. These join other recently added At a Glance features, like earthquake alerts and improved battery info for Bluetooth devices.<\/p>\n
