With the Pixel 10<\/a>, Google is introducing a new Journal app that lets you quickly jot down what\u2019s happening in your life. There are also updates to Pixel Recorder, Screenshots, and Studio.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pixel Journal<\/strong> opens to a compose view that lets you quickly start journaling. You can attach images, a map, and even activities from Health Connect.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the Pixel 10 series, the Journal app offers Gemini Nano-powered suggestions on what to write about, like Past topics, Memories (from photos or locations), and Goals, like Daily reflections or Mindfulness.\u00a0<\/p>\n An \u201cEntries\u201d tab shows everything in reverse-chronological order, while the Insights feed provides an emoji calendar view. Specifically, you\u2019ll get \u201cinsights into your patterns and progress over time.\u201d The Journal can be locked.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n Pixel Recorder<\/strong> gets a trio of updates, starting with some Material 3 Expressive tweaks across the app. There\u2019s a thicker audio waveform and wavy progress bars, while the recording interface has been simplified with larger buttons throughout.\u00a0<\/p>\n The music creation feature lets you hum a tune or verse and have Google apply a background generative track or to it after analyzing the beat. Once finished, tap the \u201cCreate and add music\u201d chip. Recorder will have you \u201cchoose a vibe\u201d like Chill Beats, Cozy, Dance Party, Rainy Day Blues, Romantic, and Surprise Me.\u00a0<\/p>\n Finally, you can upload transcripts of your recordings directly to NotebookLM.<\/p>\n Pixel Screenshots<\/strong> this year is also getting NotebookLM integration. After capturing, the app will process and determine whether it\u2019s a good fit for a notebook and suggest you add it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pixel Studio<\/strong> now uses the latest Imagen 4 model, while its tools can be accessed when editing a screenshot with Markup. From the corner preview, you can now Erase objects and Insert new ones. The latter tool is prompt-based and can also be used to replace backgrounds. You can also add Stickers using a prompt to your screenshots, or create new ones from items in the image.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lastly, Gboard\u2019s<\/strong> new Writing Tools can check for typos, grammar, and punctuation mistakes. Beyond proofreading, it can rewrite what you wrote to be more professional, friendly, or elaborate, as well as shorten, rephrase, and emojify. <\/p>\n It\u2019s available from a new pencil with sparkles icon in the suggestion strip, but Writing Tools can also be accessed via voice commands. After dictating a message, you can tell Gboard to \u201cRephrase this\u201d or \u201cMake it longer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Also on the voice front is the ability to Smart Edit. You can delete, replace, insert\u00a0 words (or punctuation) with natural-language commands, like \u201cChange [happy] to [excited]\u201d or \u201cCapitalize [happy].\u201d It\u2019s very much an evolution of the original Assistant voice typing experience but with generative AI upgrades.<\/p>\n FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> More.<\/a><\/p>\n
