  • Pixel devices can soon receive a shortcut for search AI mode on the home screen.
  • The shortcut pixel will appear in the launcher’s search widget and the Google app will launch the AI ​​mode interface.
  • We have enabled it in Android 16 QPR1 beta to give you an initial shape.

Update, June 6, 2024 (10:35 AM et): We have not yet actively appeared in Android 16 Qpr1 beta 1 on any of our devices where we have not manually forced this initial format, but now we have heard from at least one user who already claims to see it directly.

AI Search Google Widget

The Discard User Skill Field has reported to receive its AI mode button before it seems that everyone is close. For this moment, we can’t say that if it is a defect, they are very lucky, or if Google is positively snowing with a point of view of change. If you want to see it on any of your phone, let us scream in the comments.


The original article, June 5, 2024 (10:34 AM et): Google introduced AI format of search earlier this year to help users find answers to complex, multi -faceted questions. Currently, you can access it by going to the Google app on the web or on your phone and tapping the AI ​​mode button. However, Google is working on a new shortcut to pixel users can have faster access to this feature.

A AP’s tears Helps predict the features that come in the future based on the code that progresses at work. However, it is possible that such predators do not make it public release.

Google plans to add AI mode shortcut to the Pixel Launcher’s Search Wedge, which allows users to access this feature on the home screen. We first saw this shortcut reference in Android 16 son and took a look at his icon. Although it still does not live in Android 16 QPR1, we have now made it manually enabled so that you can get the initial form.

As we exhibited in a joke earlier this year, the AI ​​-mode shortcut appears on the left side of a sound search widget and the left side of the lens shortcut in the search widget. The AI ​​mode icon contains Google’s signature colors, but if you enable the “You the Namadar icons” option, you adapt to the colors of the system. Taping on this opens the Google app’s AI mode interface, making it easier for users to start searching for AI mode from the home screen.

AI mode home screen shortcuts can reach pixel devices with Android 16. However, since it does not last in Android 16 Qpr1 beta, Google can delay its rollout in subsequent release. As soon as the shortcut is widely available, this post will be updated.
