Updates start rolling out today and will continue over the next several weeks. Check out what’s new below and learn about additional updates coming to Pixel devices in the latest\nAndroid launches\n.\nGet the full picture with Circle to Search\nCircle to Search\nis great at helping you learn more about something you see on your screen. And with multi-object image recognition you can get inspired by\neverything\nyou see on your screen. Whether you want to identify every plant in a botanical garden, find out more about characters in a movie trailer or learn about the different dishes in a bento box you see online, Circle to Search can now help you explore every detail of an image. See an outfit that you love while scrolling? You can use Circle to Search on your Pixel 10 device to find every piece of the look.\n1\nSimply circle the entire outfit, and Google will help you find all of the items you see — from the warm wool maxi coat to the oxford shoes — all in one search.\nTo take the guesswork out of shopping, once you find an item you like, you can easily try it on right in Circle to Search. Just select an eligible product and tap the new \"Try It On\" button right within the image result. You can either upload your own photo or select a model to see how the item looks.\n2\nOffload your to-do list to Gemini\nLet Gemini handle your busy work. From ordering groceries to booking a rideshare service to reordering your usual coffee, Gemini works with your apps in the background to complete everyday tasks.\n3\nAnd you have the option to view or end tasks, too, so you’re in control.\n4\nThis is available as a beta feature in the\nGemini app\n.\nFind restaurant recommendations with Magic Cue and Gemini\nFinding the right place to eat just got a lot easier: When you’re texting with friends about restaurant ideas, Magic Cue prompts you to use Gemini to find the perfect spot. With just a tap, Gemini opens a new window within the chat with restaurant options based on your conversation, without you having to switch apps. You never have to leave the chat, so you can stay in the moment with your friends.\n5\nKeep track of your tunes in the Now Playing app\nYour Pixel’s built-in music recognition tool is getting its own home. Now Playing is now a standalone app, so you can keep track of all your music — from new discoveries to old favorites. You can also use the history tab to see everything in one place and then play tracks in your preferred music app.\n6\nSee more at a glance\nNeed quick updates on transit delays affecting your commute?\n7\nOr real-time game scores?\n8\nHow about a look at your financial portfolio?\n9\nAt a Glance can now help you find the best route home, follow your favorite sports team, stay updated with Google Finance and so much more.\nGenerate custom icons that suit your home screen\nMake your home screen even more\nyou\n. Choose from five AI-generated styles that will give all the icons across your display a consistent aesthetic that matches your unique personality. You can also try them in the new SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Pack, too!\nAccess AI features in more regions\nScam Detection in Phone by Google is now available on Pixel phones in France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Germany and Japan. Designed for your peace of mind, this feature recognizes speech patterns common by fraudsters and alerts you when a conversation turns suspicious.\n10\nAnd in India, Call Notes allows you to easily review your phone conversations. Your Pixel phone will record and transcribe your calls, making it easy for you to look back on calls whenever you need to.\n11\nProtect your phone with your Pixel Watch\nPixel Watch now works proactively to secure your phone: It sends instant alerts if you accidentally leave it behind and automatically locks your phone the moment you move out of range.\n12\nPlus, a connected watch and phone now offer faster identity checks\n13\nfor smooth, secure access.\nGet the peace of mind that finding your belongings is always just a tap away. Now you can also find your misplaced devices and essentials in seconds, right from your wrist with Find Hub on Pixel Watch. Directly ring any device that’s within Bluetooth range, or if it’s out of range, you’ll get the device’s location and directions on a map.\nUse more AI-powered magic and one-handed gestures on Pixel Watches\nThe intuitive, one-handed gestures we brought to\nPixel Watch 4\nare now expanding to Pixel Watch 3. Whether you’re carrying groceries or grabbing a coffee, double pinch or turn your wrist to answer calls, snap a photo or pause your workout music — all without touching the screen.\n14\nPlus, pay even more conveniently without compromising security. After you toggle on the new\nexpress pay\nfeature, and when it’s enabled, just turn and tap your Pixel Watch to the reader to buy — no need to open the Google Wallet app first\n15\n!\nStay safe and alert\nWe’re expanding our suite of safety tools to make Pixel Watch even more essential. The new standalone earthquake alerts notify you of nearby earthquakes in real-time and can provide seconds of warning so you can take protective action.\n16\nSatellite SOS\n, first launched on Pixel Watch 4 in the contiguous U.S., is now available in Canada, Europe, Alaska and Hawaii.\n17\n18\nYou can visit our\ncommunity forum post\nfor the full list of new features arriving on your Pixel devices this month.\nGet more stories from Google in your inbox.\nDone.

Check out what’s new below and learn about additional updates coming to Pixel devices in the latest [Android launches](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/platforms\/android\/new-android-features-March-2026\/).\n\n## Get the full picture with Circle to Search\n[Circle to Search](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/products\/search\/circle-to-search-february-2026\/) is great at helping you learn more about something you see on your screen. And with multi-object image recognition you can get inspired by *everything* you see on your screen. Whether you want to identify every plant in a botanical garden, find out more about characters in a movie trailer or learn about the different dishes in a bento box you see online, Circle to Search can now help you explore every detail of an image. See an outfit that you love while scrolling? You can use Circle to Search on your Pixel 10 device to find every piece of the look.  [1](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-1)  Simply circle the entire outfit, and Google will help you find all of the items you see — from the warm wool maxi coat to the oxford shoes — all in one search.\n\n![Image on a phone screen showing a woman walking down the sidewalk in a long gray coat, with the coat being circled, and a resulting search for a “Maxi Wool Coat.”](https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/images\/PixelDrop_CircletoSearchCombined.width-1000.format-webp.webp)\n\nTo take the guesswork out of shopping, once you find an item you like, you can easily try it on right in Circle to Search. Just select an eligible product and tap the new \"Try It On\" button right within the image result. You can either upload your own photo or select a model to see how the item looks.

From ordering groceries to booking a rideshare service to reordering your usual coffee, Gemini works with your apps in the background to complete everyday tasks.  [3](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-3)  And you have the option to view or end tasks, too, so you’re in control.  [4](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-4)  This is available as a beta feature in the [Gemini app](https:\/\/blog.google\/innovation-and-ai\/products\/gemini-app\/android-multi-step-tasks\/).\n\n![Image showing a glowing home screen and Gemini being asked to “Reorder my last order on DoorDash,” followed by a pop-up window from Gemini prompting task completion after preparing the order.](https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/images\/PixelDrop_GeminiCombined.width-1000.format-webp.webp)\n\n## Find restaurant recommendations with Magic Cue and Gemini\nFinding the right place to eat just got a lot easier: When you’re texting with friends about restaurant ideas, Magic Cue prompts you to use Gemini to find the perfect spot. With just a tap, Gemini opens a new window within the chat with restaurant options based on your conversation, without you having to switch apps. You never have to leave the chat, so you can stay in the moment with your friends.  [5](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-5)\n\n![Image of a group chat called “Travel buddies” where Christian asked, “Okay, the eternal question: where are we eating tonight?

Designed for your peace of mind, this feature recognizes speech patterns common by fraudsters and alerts you when a conversation turns suspicious.  [10](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-10)\n\nAnd in India, Call Notes allows you to easily review your phone conversations. Your Pixel phone will record and transcribe your calls, making it easy for you to look back on calls whenever you need to.

[12](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-12)  Plus, a connected watch and phone now offer faster identity checks  [13](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-13)  for smooth, secure access.\n\nGet the peace of mind that finding your belongings is always just a tap away. Now you can also find your misplaced devices and essentials in seconds, right from your wrist with Find Hub on Pixel Watch. Directly ring any device that’s within Bluetooth range, or if it’s out of range, you’ll get the device’s location and directions on a map.\n\n![Image showing a notification on Pixel Watch that Abby’s Pixel 10 Pro was left behind.](https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/original_images\/PixelDrop_LeftBehind.png)\n\n![Image showing a prompt to verify identity with a fingerprint scan due to Pixel Watch and Pixel Phone disconnection.](https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/original_images\/PixelDrop_PhoneLock.png)\n\n![Image showing verification options for a bank sign-in.](https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/original_images\/PixelDrop_IdentityCheck.png)\n\nJump to position 1\n\nJump to position 2\n\nJump to position 3\n\n## Use more AI-powered magic and one-handed gestures on Pixel Watches\nThe intuitive, one-handed gestures we brought to [Pixel Watch 4](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/pixel-watch-4-gestures-smart-reply-updates\/) are now expanding to Pixel Watch 3.

Check out what’s new below and learn about additional updates coming to Pixel devices in the latest [Android launches](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/platforms\/android\/new-android-features-March-2026\/).\n\n## Get the full picture with Circle to Search\n[Circle to Search](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/products\/search\/circle-to-search-february-2026\/) is great at helping you learn more about something you see on your screen. And with multi-object image recognition you can get inspired by *everything* you see on your screen. Whether you want to identify every plant in a botanical garden, find out more about characters in a movie trailer or learn about the different dishes in a bento box you see online, Circle to Search can now help you explore every detail of an image. See an outfit that you love while scrolling? You can use Circle to Search on your Pixel 10 device to find every piece of the look.  [1](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-1)  Simply circle the entire outfit, and Google will help you find all of the items you see — from the warm wool maxi coat to the oxford shoes — all in one search.\n\nTo take the guesswork out of shopping, once you find an item you like, you can easily try it on right in Circle to Search. Just select an eligible product and tap the new \"Try It On\" button right within the image result. You can either upload your own photo or select a model to see how the item looks.  [2](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-2)\n\n## Offload your to-do list to Gemini\nLet Gemini handle your busy work. From ordering groceries to booking a rideshare service to reordering your usual coffee, Gemini works with your apps in the background to complete everyday tasks.  [3](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-3)  And you have the option to view or end tasks, too, so you’re in control.  [4](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-4)  This is available as a beta feature in the [Gemini app](https:\/\/blog.google\/innovation-and-ai\/products\/gemini-app\/android-multi-step-tasks\/).\n\n## Find restaurant recommendations with Magic Cue and Gemini\nFinding the right place to eat just got a lot easier: When you’re texting with friends about restaurant ideas, Magic Cue prompts you to use Gemini to find the perfect spot. With just a tap, Gemini opens a new window within the chat with restaurant options based on your conversation, without you having to switch apps. You never have to leave the chat, so you can stay in the moment with your friends.  [5](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-5)\n\n## Keep track of your tunes in the Now Playing app\nYour Pixel’s built-in music recognition tool is getting its own home. Now Playing is now a standalone app, so you can keep track of all your music — from new discoveries to old favorites. You can also use the history tab to see everything in one place and then play tracks in your preferred music app.  [6](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-6)\n\n## See more at a glance\nNeed quick updates on transit delays affecting your commute?

Choose from five AI-generated styles that will give all the icons across your display a consistent aesthetic that matches your unique personality. You can also try them in the new SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Pack, too\\!\n\n## Access AI features in more regions\nScam Detection in Phone by Google is now available on Pixel phones in France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Germany and Japan. Designed for your peace of mind, this feature recognizes speech patterns common by fraudsters and alerts you when a conversation turns suspicious.  [10](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-10)\n\nAnd in India, Call Notes allows you to easily review your phone conversations. Your Pixel phone will record and transcribe your calls, making it easy for you to look back on calls whenever you need to.  [11](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-11)\n\n## Protect your phone with your Pixel Watch\nPixel Watch now works proactively to secure your phone: It sends instant alerts if you accidentally leave it behind and automatically locks your phone the moment you move out of range.  [12](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-12)  Plus, a connected watch and phone now offer faster identity checks  [13](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-13)  for smooth, secure access.\n\nGet the peace of mind that finding your belongings is always just a tap away.

Directly ring any device that’s within Bluetooth range, or if it’s out of range, you’ll get the device’s location and directions on a map.\n\n## Use more AI-powered magic and one-handed gestures on Pixel Watches\nThe intuitive, one-handed gestures we brought to [Pixel Watch 4](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/pixel-watch-4-gestures-smart-reply-updates\/) are now expanding to Pixel Watch 3. Whether you’re carrying groceries or grabbing a coffee, double pinch or turn your wrist to answer calls, snap a photo or pause your workout music — all without touching the screen.  [14](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-14)\n\nPlus, pay even more conveniently without compromising security. After you toggle on the new [express pay](https:\/\/support.google.com\/wallet?p=express_pay_settings) feature, and when it’s enabled, just turn and tap your Pixel Watch to the reader to buy — no need to open the Google Wallet app first  [15](https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/march-2026-pixel-drop\/#footnote-15)  \\!\n\n## Stay safe and alert\nWe’re expanding our suite of safety tools to make Pixel Watch even more essential.

Check out what’s new below and learn about additional updates coming to Pixel devices in the latest [Android launches](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/new-android-features-March-2026/). ## Get the full picture with Circle to Search [Circle to Search](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/search/circle-to-search-february-2026/) is great at helping you learn more about something you see on your screen. And with multi-object image recognition you can get inspired by everything you see on your screen. Whether you want to identify every plant in a botanical garden, find out more about characters in a movie trailer or learn about the different dishes in a bento box you see online, Circle to Search can now help you explore every detail of an image. See an outfit that you love while scrolling? You can use Circle to Search on your Pixel 10 device to find every piece of the look. [1](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-1) Simply circle the entire outfit, and Google will help you find all of the items you see — from the warm wool maxi coat to the oxford shoes — all in one search. ![Image on a phone screen showing a woman walking down the sidewalk in a long gray coat, with the coat being circled, and a resulting search for a “Maxi Wool Coat.”](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/PixelDrop_CircletoSearchCombined.width-1000.format-webp.webp) To take the guesswork out of shopping, once you find an item you like, you can easily try it on right in Circle to Search. Just select an eligible product and tap the new "Try It On" button right within the image result. You can either upload your own photo or select a model to see how the item looks.

Check out what’s new below and learn about additional updates coming to Pixel devices in the latest [Android launches](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/new-android-features-March-2026/). ## Get the full picture with Circle to Search [Circle to Search](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/search/circle-to-search-february-2026/) is great at helping you learn more about something you see on your screen. And with multi-object image recognition you can get inspired by everything you see on your screen. Whether you want to identify every plant in a botanical garden, find out more about characters in a movie trailer or learn about the different dishes in a bento box you see online, Circle to Search can now help you explore every detail of an image. See an outfit that you love while scrolling? You can use Circle to Search on your Pixel 10 device to find every piece of the look. [1](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-1) Simply circle the entire outfit, and Google will help you find all of the items you see — from the warm wool maxi coat to the oxford shoes — all in one search. To take the guesswork out of shopping, once you find an item you like, you can easily try it on right in Circle to Search. Just select an eligible product and tap the new "Try It On" button right within the image result. You can either upload your own photo or select a model to see how the item looks. [2](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-2) ## Offload your to-do list to Gemini Let Gemini handle your busy work.

[3](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-3) And you have the option to view or end tasks, too, so you’re in control. [4](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-4) This is available as a beta feature in the [Gemini app](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-app/android-multi-step-tasks/). ## Find restaurant recommendations with Magic Cue and Gemini Finding the right place to eat just got a lot easier: When you’re texting with friends about restaurant ideas, Magic Cue prompts you to use Gemini to find the perfect spot. With just a tap, Gemini opens a new window within the chat with restaurant options based on your conversation, without you having to switch apps. You never have to leave the chat, so you can stay in the moment with your friends. [5](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-5) ## Keep track of your tunes in the Now Playing app Your Pixel’s built-in music recognition tool is getting its own home. Now Playing is now a standalone app, so you can keep track of all your music — from new discoveries to old favorites.

Choose from five AI-generated styles that will give all the icons across your display a consistent aesthetic that matches your unique personality. You can also try them in the new SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Pack, too\! ## Access AI features in more regions Scam Detection in Phone by Google is now available on Pixel phones in France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Germany and Japan. Designed for your peace of mind, this feature recognizes speech patterns common by fraudsters and alerts you when a conversation turns suspicious. [10](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-10) And in India, Call Notes allows you to easily review your phone conversations. Your Pixel phone will record and transcribe your calls, making it easy for you to look back on calls whenever you need to. [11](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-11) ## Protect your phone with your Pixel Watch Pixel Watch now works proactively to secure your phone: It sends instant alerts if you accidentally leave it behind and automatically locks your phone the moment you move out of range. [12](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-12) Plus, a connected watch and phone now offer faster identity checks [13](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-13) for smooth, secure access. Get the peace of mind that finding your belongings is always just a tap away. Now you can also find your misplaced devices and essentials in seconds, right from your wrist with Find Hub on Pixel Watch. Directly ring any device that’s within Bluetooth range, or if it’s out of range, you’ll get the device’s location and directions on a map. ## Use more AI-powered magic and one-handed gestures on Pixel Watches The intuitive, one-handed gestures we brought to [Pixel Watch 4](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/pixel-watch-4-gestures-smart-reply-updates/) are now expanding to Pixel Watch 3. Whether you’re carrying groceries or grabbing a coffee, double pinch or turn your wrist to answer calls, snap a photo or pause your workout music — all without touching the screen. [14](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-14) Plus, pay even more conveniently without compromising security. After you toggle on the new [express pay](https://support.google.com/wallet?p=express_pay_settings) feature, and when it’s enabled, just turn and tap your Pixel Watch to the reader to buy — no need to open the Google Wallet app first [15](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/march-2026-pixel-drop/#footnote-15) \! ## Stay safe and alert We’re expanding our suite of safety tools to make Pixel Watch even more essential. The new standalone earthquake alerts notify you of nearby earthquakes in real-time and can provide seconds of warning so you can take protective action.
