Pixel Screenshots update adds simplified design and useful shortcuts
The latest update to Pixel Screenshots introduces several user-friendly features and visual tweaks designed to improve accessibility and organization, while also streamlining the app’s interface. This update (version 0.24.373.08) simplifies the main screen and removes the separate “All screenshots” view, integrating these options into the main homepage for easier access.
Enhanced Grid Density Control
In previous versions, users accessed a fullscreen “All screenshots” page with a density adjustment feature. Now, the app includes these density controls directly on the homepage, letting users choose between viewing four or three smaller previews, or two larger rectangular thumbnails. These different sizes make it easier to find what you’re looking for, especially if you take many screenshots.
Simplified Screenshot Management
The updated homepage layout enables users to long-press on images, allowing for a quick selection of multiple items. This change makes it easier to share, add screenshots to collections, or delete them in one go without navigating through extra menus.
Improved Collections and App Shortcuts
Pixel Screenshots’ Collections feature now has a Floating Action Button (FAB) for easier navigation, replacing the older “Select screenshots” button. From this button, users can add new screenshots and organize their collections. Additionally, an overflow menu simplifies actions like “Edit title” or “Delete,” improving overall usability.
The update also adds two new app shortcuts for “Take a photo” and “Add image,” which you can now access directly from your home screen. This removes the need to open the app each time to take a quick screenshot or add an image, saving users time and reducing clicks.
Convenient Screenshot Viewing and Note-Taking
Another notable improvement is the streamlined screenshot view. When viewing a screenshot, Pixel Screenshots now truncates long descriptions or transcriptions, preventing excessive scrolling and making it easier to access options like “Add a note” or “Add to collection” at the bottom of the screen.
Voice Commands and October Feature Drop
Coinciding with Google’s October Feature Drop, Pixel users now have the option to use voice commands for quicker access. For instance, by saying “in Screenshots,” you can search for a saved screenshot from anywhere on your phone, a helpful addition for fast access and search.
The update to Pixel Screenshots (version 0.24.373.08) is now rolling out via the Google Play Store, bringing new convenience and functionality to Pixel users.
Google’s May 2025 Android updates bring exciting changes to improve how your phone works and how you message. These updates focus on making devices faster, safer, and more user-friendly.
One big change is to Android’s memory system. By increasing the memory page size from 4KB to 16KB on newer devices, apps can load quicker and use less power. This helps phones, especially those with modern chips, run smoothly and save battery life. Older devices will stick with the smaller page size to avoid issues.
The Google System Updates for May also add new features. Google Wallet now supports more card types and makes transit passes easier to use in apps like Google Maps. The Play Store now shows video previews of apps, helping you decide what to download. There are also fixes to improve battery life, storage, and network performance, making your phone more reliable.
For Google Messages, a new “delete for everyone” feature lets you remove sent messages from group chats within 15 minutes. This works for both RCS and SMS, so you can fix mistakes easily. Other messaging upgrades include better scam detection and the ability to send high-quality photos and videos. These updates show Google’s effort to make Android devices faster, more secure, and better for communication. Keep your phone updated to enjoy these improvements!
Google Maps is making driving more fun with a new feature for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Now, you can pick different car icons to show your vehicle on the map. Choose from options like a sleek sedan, a rugged SUV, or a cool arrow.
This small change adds a personal touch to your navigation and is rolling out to all users soon. Meanwhile, Ecobee’s Smart Doorbell Camera is getting a big upgrade with Google Home support. You can now see who’s at your door right from the Google Home app, view live video, and even talk to visitors.
If you have a Nest Hub, the doorbell feed pops up automatically when someone rings. This feature, already available for Ecobee’s thermostat, makes your smart home setup smoother and is available now for all users. On the AI front, Google’s Gemini app is getting smarter with the Gemini 2.5 Pro preview.
This update improves coding skills, helping developers create better apps and websites. It also handles video and text tasks more effectively. The preview is out for everyone to try, with Google planning to share more at its I/O 2025 event. These updates from Google and Ecobee bring small but meaningful improvements, making your car rides, home security, and digital tasks easier and more enjoyable.
Google is rolling out exciting updates to make browsing, searching, and downloading apps smoother and safer for Android users. These changes focus on improving Chrome’s security, redesigning the Google Search bar, and enhancing the Google Play Store’s download process.
Chrome’s Improved Security
Google Chrome now offers stronger protection with “Enhanced Safe Browsing” powered by Gemini Nano, an AI model that works directly on your device. This feature checks websites in real-time to spot phishing attempts and other online threats, keeping your data safe without relying on cloud servers. It’s a step up from the standard protection, giving users more peace of mind while browsing.
Redesigned Google Search Bar
The Google Search bar on Android is getting a fresh look. It’s now simpler and easier to use, with a modern design that fits better with your phone’s home screen. The updated widget lets you access Search, Lens, or voice commands quickly. The new layout is clean and user-friendly, making searches faster and more intuitive.
Better Play Store Downloads
The Google Play Store is improving how it shows app download progress. A new notification design displays a progress bar right in your notification panel, so you can track downloads without opening the app. This small but helpful change makes managing app installs more convenient.
These updates show Google’s focus on creating a safer, simpler, and more efficient experience for Android users. They’re rolling out gradually, so keep an eye out for them on your device!
