Google is rolling the ending, stable version of Android 16 today, while also releasing a new Pixel drop for June 2025These drops bring exclusive features for pixel phones and tablets at the top of the normal Android codebase, which is available for every Android phone manufacturer including Samsung, Nathing, Sony and Motorola.
There are many new features to talk about this time. They should be shown automatically on all the supported pixel phones and tablets in the coming days – so back to Pixel 6 is correct – but you can also check manually manually. System> Software Update In settings on your device.
1. Pixel VIP
Your Pixel VIPs are the most important contact on your device, and now they get their special widget from the contact app as a spin-off. This widget allows you to see the recent messages and calls of these people in messaging apps including WhatsApp, as well as more information about them (including their birthday and remarkable anniversary).
Now you can make some of your contact VIPs.

These special VIPs get additional permission to bypass the do not disturb mode on their pixels, which should ensure that you do not find anything important when notifications are muted. If you are currently sharing your location with these very important contacts, these details also appear in the widget, but all these information is locally placed on your device.
2. Custom sticker in gboard
Stickers made with generic AI are coming on the gboard, default pixel keyboard with the latest pixel drop. With the help of Pixel Studio, you can make stickers of anything of your choice: an excited jelly avocado, a sad starfish wearing sunglasses, and sparkly blue sneakers Google are given examples. And yes, it does a lot like genmosie on the iPhone.
Get creative with your stickers in the gboard.

As you can collect from the mention of the Pixel Studio, it will only work when you have a phone from the Pixel 9 series, as your device requires a certain amount of AI power to produce graphics without contacting the cloud. If you have found a compatible device, the new feature will be available through a button above any text input box when enabled Gboard.
3. Expressive caption
If you use a live caption on your Android device, you will know that it can be a useful way to get live subtitles on screen for video and audio content, even if they are not involved in the original file or stream. Expressive captions add more emotion to this feature, so you will see labels like “whisper” or “yawning” with real words.

If the words are spread – like “Gooooooooal!” – Which should be shown. This feature is not completely new, as it was declared last month for Android 15 devices: as far as I can out of Google’s announcement, it seems that the pixel drop can present more than these manifestations, or possibly provide them more widely.
4. New access facilities
The new pixel drop includes many small new features, including noticeable, which includes better support for listening equipment with Le audio features: you can now reach the preset and volume controls from inside a dedicated panel on your phone, until it is running a pixel 9 or new handset Android 16 (rolling at the same time).
What do you think so far?
Refilling again Magnifying app (Exclusive to pixel phones), which now incorporates live search. You can type what you are seeing (such as something on a menu), then move the camera of your phone around, with real -time highlighted matches and with a little vibration. Now you do not need to take a photo first and then search.
5. Battery health indicator
If you own Google Pixel 8A or new, this latest pixel drop brings a new battery health indicator screen with you, which we used to inform us for the first time in April. This shows details of the remaining capacity of the battery based on charging and use patterns, and the feature should help you use more than your battery (and when you need to replace you show you).
6. Improve your photography skills
The default camera app for pixel phones and tablets has a NEET Little feature: If you tap the new question mark icon that appears in the corner of the camera screen, what does each camera mode do, get a visual guide for this, as well as how to use it. Google says that “your pixel camera will help the most.”
We are still waiting for the latest AI features in Google photos.

7. AI google edits in photos
In its June 2025 Pixel Drop Declaration, Google has again mentioned the AI Editing Tool coming in the Google Photo, which was also announced for Android and iOS equipment last month. This upgrade is still coming soon, and apparently a pixel will not be exclusive, but it is worth flagging that Google has again mentioned it in its latest blog post.
8. Extended facility availability
Finally, a pair of notes on availability: Pixel satellite SOS feature that seeks you when beyond WiFi and cellular range, expanding into Australia, while the Pixel-XClucleusive recorder app is adding to French and Germans in the list of languages, when it can work in concept and work in conclusion.
