AI‑Driven Photo Remixing in Google Messages

The headline feature of the November update is Remix in Google Messages. Powered by Google’s Gemini image model, Remix lets users edit and reimagine any photo directly within a chat. The tool works across Android devices and supports group chats even when not all participants have a Pixel. When both parties use Google Messages with RCS, the same image can be remixed back and forth without leaving the app.

Enhanced Scam Protection

Google is expanding its scam‑detection capabilities. In the United States, Messages now display a “Likely scam” label for suspicious chat notifications. Phone‑call scam detection, previously limited to the U.S., is extending to Pixel 9‑series users in the United Kingdom, Ireland, India, Australia and Canada. The detection runs on‑device, using AI to spot common scam call patterns in real time.

Notification Summaries and VIP Prioritization

New notification summaries condense long group chats and messages into quick, readable recaps, allowing users to catch up at a glance. These summaries appear on Pixel 9 and later models (excluding the Pixel 9A). Pixel VIP contacts—formerly starred contacts—receive priority treatment, ensuring messages from close friends and family stay on top. VIP contacts also gain a crisis badge in the Contacts widget for rapid access to critical alerts.

"Wicked" Theme Packs

Fans of the film "Wicked" can personalize their phones with new theme packs that include wallpapers, icons, sounds and GIFs inspired by the movie. Pixel owners can switch among three styles—For Good, Glinda and Elphaba—to give their device a magical makeover.

Improvements to Google Photos, Maps and Call Notes

Google Photos now lets users request specific edits such as removing sunglasses, making a subject smile, or opening eyes, using other images in the gallery for realistic fixes. In Google Maps, a power‑saving mode on Pixel 10 models offers a pared‑down navigation view that can add up to four extra hours of battery life on long drives. Call notes are expanding to users in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan, where Gemini Nano on‑device can record calls, generate transcripts, summaries and action items. This feature is available on Pixel 9 and later (excluding the Pixel 9A).

Magic Cue and Private AI Compute

Magic Cue, Google’s contextual suggestion engine, receives more timely nudges thanks to Private AI Compute, a cloud‑based platform that delivers the speed of large Gemini models while maintaining on‑device privacy protections. The Magic Cue enhancements roll out first to Pixel 10‑series devices in select countries and languages.
