How about app-based volume control? Is that an option yet? I just want to be able to listen to music and have the driving directions on at the same time without hearing “TURN LEFT IN A QUARTER MILE MOTHERFUCKER!” at some obnoxious volume. Keep your ai bullshit and fix that first.

There’s a bell icon on the main page or in the main menu you can click it to ! Meaning alerts only so only like slowdowns or reroutes are communicated

But I want the directions, I just don’t want them louder than the music. It’s a basic feature for all Android devices, and the Google Pixel is the only phone that has this defect.

Previously only available on Pixel phones, you can now use our free built-in Google VPN on your Pixel Tablet. This means data like your internet traffic, private messages and photos, health information, banking details and location data are all protected when connected to public Wi-Fi networks.

I thought Google One VPN was being discontinued?

There’s “VPN by Google” and “Google One VPN”. Maybe it’s the former that’s being discontinued?

I believe it’s being rebranded as Pixel VPN exclusive to pixel devices

Sounds like the “made you look” feature still uses the shitty front facing camera and not the big useful fucking camera

Well, unless your phone’s got a screen on the back good luck using the other camera.

It does… It’s an exclusive feature of the Pixel Fold.

Unless I’m very much mistaken the Fold doesn’t have a screen on the same side as the nice camera either.
