All the improvements are: pixel 9 only, usa only, for pixel watch users, for fold users only. and some are 'coming soon'.
for me with my pixel 8 pro user in Germany that does not use instagram or snapchat, there is no one single new thing for me.

No screenshots for instance. And Google promises seven years of updates. But who believes Google?

[jorge_the_first]

All I hear is "and it's coming for all pixel nines"

[mikeehuntington]

Pixel drops seem to be exclusively pixel 9 anymore

[VitiateTheImmortal]

Im on an 8 pro beta version. The animations have been greatly improved but I havent seen any new features.

It’s frustrating that there is still no stack widget. I can’t believe we are about to enter 2025 and Google still hasn’t released a stack widget

[Dwayne]

Was hoping reimagine would come to the 8 Pro, maybe next year.

I'm not seeing the December Pixel update and I'm not seeing it on the image download site for sideloading from Google either. I wonder if this is a little premature.

[michaelball]

Is there anything in here which isn't just for Pixel 9s?

[dbcooper]

I don't see any updates on my 7 pro. Did Google stop supporting the 7?

[TiburcioWatches]

Pixel updates are getting boring, unless you have the latest models.

[paolo]

I can't use any stickers I've made in Pixel Studio on Gboard even though I have android 15. Is it simply just not ready yet for me or am I meant to activate something?

[HometownUnicorn]

This hasn't dropped yet. Still on the November one and on a pixel 9 Pro

[MichaelClaudio-qmew]

Im on pixel 9 pro xl and still haven't got it, idk what else to do

[TravellingTechie]

Watching with interest from Europe (where we have a nationlised healthcare system). I wonder what will happen to any investigation into these Healthcare Insurance companies come January 20 2025.

You Tube put this video in my searches and I have to say that Chris Martin gives a pretty good Pixel Features overview!

[techreview]

Charge limit to 80% to preserve the battery is what I am waiting for

[techreview]

Just updated my P8Pro. No changes, except for different Setting look. Again. I don`t know why I spent so much money last year. Really. Google, are you kidding me?!

[ej]

My Pixel 7 never received it. Ended up having to sideload...

[MobileCritic]

Did anyone else notice a change to app animations I feel like there's more of a bouncy affect.

[arnold_m_xavier]

Too much of kind enough. Hmm, is this Android authority or Google authority
