I've been looking for a video like this! Im waiting on my pixel in the mail and wanted to know the best first-step things to do! Thanks a lot,

[vercoda]

Definitely learned a couple of useful things there - and You made the slightly hit and miss fingerprint sensor work Much better. Thanks!

Actually for pixel get that badass screen protector thats like a paper but almost rubber or something it makes the finger print scanner work so amazingly good

[dorriesmith]

Suggestion for the fingerprint sensor. Use a moisturizing cream on your hands especially the fingers or thumb you open up the phone with. Not sure why but it makes it open up faster and every time you use it.

Tapping for screenshot alone was worth the view.

Did anyone else notice the clock change colors when he used home screen rotation? That's pretty dope!

With the current Pixel 6/ Pro being larger it would've been nice for Google to finally incorporate a soft screen lock option like every other android OEM. Adding screen lock option on back tap would've been perfect. 🤞

I cannot turn off at a Glance... The upper screen is still not usable. Only thing that disapears is the small weather Update underneath the date.

The Pixel 6 was advertised to have an interpreter mode which worked offline without Wi-Fi. It does not work offline. This feature was also advertised as something new to the Google Pixel 6. Apparently the interpreter mode works with Pixel 5 and other telephones false marketing on Google's behalf and they have no idea as to how to get this interpreter mode to work offline as they advertised.

Great tip about doing the same fingerprint multiple times. Been having trouble so will try it. thanks

[roelreyna]

The screenshot trick is what I needed and that Easter egg was cool

[n.b.p.davenport]

Another thing if you have a case on it, I work construction you can't use the double tap or tap on back of the phone

[temajungmichael]

I intended to upgrade from pixel 3xl to 6 in 6 days hence, but after watching this, tomorrow morning, first thing, I'm going to the

[glenlt]

Thank you so much. I cannot wait to receive my phone and try your tips.

[onimashou]

By far best useful tips video I have watched

[iamjohnconnor]

Double tap to screenshot, I believe I will 🥳

[mckrisbo]

Just a shame that choosing to turn off at a glance does not remove the at a glance widget 😟.

[Horseshack]

Great tips! Please make another video of additional tips and tricks.

[craigdavies]

Great help. I didn't know about a few of these. 👍 I don't find the fingerprint scanner a problem at all. Basically like my Huawei P30 PRO one.

[HugoRMartin]

Are you saying that you managed to completely remove the At A Glance Date widget on the top left corner of your Pixel 6 ?
