Back in March 2025, the Google Messages app launched a feature that uses artificial intelligence to analyze letters and warn users that their interlocutors may be scammers. Now, the scope of the feature has been expanded – it can be analyzed not only in Google Messages, but also in any other messenger if you use the Gboard keyboard to communicate. Most Android AI features typically require newer smartphone models, but this feature is available on 2021 Pixel 6 and above devices. This feature is available to users from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Mexico, Japan, and Singapore.
The functionality of VIP notifications – which was first launched in November last year – has been expanded. Users can add widgets to the home screen and assign VIP status to certain contacts. Now, you can call or write the corresponding contact directly from this gadget with one click, or switch between contacts from the pop-up bottom menu. The innovation is available for Google Pixel 6 and newer smartphones.

Smartwatches Pixel Watch 3 and newer models support pinch gestures to display the notification panel, and Pixel Watch 4 and newer models begin to work better with the “raise to speak” gesture command – to start a conversation with the AI assistant, just hold the watch to your mouth.
