15.9.2026

  | Google Italia

Our September Pixel Drop is officially here, complete with handy new features and updates.


Stay connected to your VIPs with updated home screen widgets that let you call or text people with a single tap, or switch between contacts using the bottom floating overlay navigation menu. New notification badges ensure you never miss a message. And Pixel now makes it easier to avoid scams with inline Gboard warnings in the U.S. and expanded Scam Detection for chat app notifications in more regions.

If you have a Pixel Watch, you’ll receive Raise to Talk improvements, and additional One Handed gesture app integrations, along with other bug fixes.

Instantly customize your Pixel with Harry Potter Audiobook Packs to celebrate the release of Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions on Audible. To begin your journey to Hogwarts, all eligible Pixel users will receive a two-month Audible free trial.
