Google uploads Pixel ‘Settings Suggestions’ app to the Play Store

-

With recent Android versions, Google has redesigned the Settings app a handful of times to make it easier to use. Search plays a role in surfacing various options and menus, with Google today updating a "Settings Suggestions" app for the Pixel and Pixel 2.

"Settings Suggestions" is already installed (version 1.0.0.197685250) on the Pixel and Pixel 2 with Android 9 Pie. According to the listing, the app provides "Personalized Settings suggestions to help you setup and manage your device." They appear at the top of the Settings app, just under the search field.

Presenting as cards that you can close, they are visible on first setup and provides you with a "tour of your new phone." It also powers the list of suggested results when users begin typing into the search box.

Settings Suggestions is the intelligence behind Settings, helping you discover, manage, and setup your phone's settings. By understanding your context and actions, Settings Suggestions powers the search results and suggestions you see in Settings.

Features include:

1. Personalized Settings search results based on your device state and usage

2. Suggestions for new settings that you may want to use based on your current habits

This contextual feature offers options based on the state and usage of a device, and takes into account current user habits. Like with other system Pixel apps in the past, Google is releasing an updated version via the Play Store.

Google Play notes that the app was updated on October 2, but version 1.0.0.215447275 was released on October 11. The Play Store listing is visible on other devices, but it can only be installed on Pixel devices.

Last weekend, fans from all around the world made the trek to Southern California to see some of music's biggest names perform at Coachella. To make those not at the festival feel like they were there, we headed to the desert with VR180 cameras to capture all the action.

17 features and tricks to help you get started with Spotify

-
Image
Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming services, with 157 million active users ( as of December 2017 ) and over 35 million songs. Originally born in Sweden, it quickly gained popularity as it expanded outside of its home country. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Spotify hit U.S. shores almost seven years ago. For many who were accustomed to mainstays at the time like Pandora and iHeartRadio, Spotify represented something different. And to some of us, its disparity to those other services was off-putting. I was one of those people who was initially excited about it, then quickly became frustrated with it when I tried to use it like Pandora, which was my go-to back then. Fast forward to the very recent past and I decided to give Spotify another try — at the behest of Artem, no less. When I sat down to figure out how to best utilize it, I wanted to learn how to not only get going, but how to use Spotify to the best of its abilities in both the free

-

If you thought the Pixel 2 and 2 XL were expensive, you probably weren't very happy when you saw the Pixel 3's $799 and Pixel 3 XL's $899 MSRPs. The Pixel 3 XL received a modest $50 jump in price from the 2 XL, but the Pixel 3 went up by a whopping $150 when compared to the Pixel 2. In other words, those who've purchased a new Pixel, regardless of the model, are probably going to want to protect it. Like last year's , this roundup will feature a wide variety of cases from several different manufacturers. For each case, we'll start off with some pros and cons and finish with a verdict on whether or not it should be considered. Screen protectors and any other pertinent accessories will also be featured. We plan to continuously update this post with new reviews as more cases come in.
