Pixel Screenshots

The Pixel Screenshots feature in Pixel 9 will be expected to allow users to save information from screenshots and find it later when needed.

This feature helps the user by organising saved information for easy access.

Magic Editor

Magic Editor is another impressive expected feature in Google Pixel 9 that would edit photos using generative AI prompts, adds people to a scene they weren't in originally, and even removes objects or people from a photo.

Add Me feature

One of the most striking features is Add Me, which enables a user to add any person to the group shot after it has been clicked. In effect, it makes a match between two fairly similar pictures clicked at the same location and then uses AI to match the light and pose of the person added.

Emergency SOS

It provides Emergency SOS, sends crisis alerts with respect to nearby fires or floods, and helps safeguard users from phishing, scams, and malware. Only a single tap is required for emergency assistance.

Circle to Search

Circle to Search — in a photo, locates entities such as objects, people, or text and gives search results relevant to the photo content.
