Your Pixel phone is getting 5 free upgrades today - including a built-in scam detector

The update adds scam detection, message summaries, VIP contact alerts, AI improvements, and photo remixing to Pixel 6 and newer phones, enhancing security and usability.

  • On Tuesday, Google released the November Pixel Drop, adding Nano Banana AI image editing to RCS messages on Pixel phones.
  • The update bundles messaging and AI upgrades, aiming to give Pixel users scam protection, notification summaries, and improved message management with Magic Cue and Private AI Compute enhancements.
  • Pixel 6 and newer will gain message scam warnings for U.S. users, tagging suspicious chats with a "Likely scam" alert that applies to third-party chat apps.
  • Google says the features start rolling out today and may take a few days to reach all users, with Call Notes and recording using Gemini Nano expanding to Pixel 9 and newer in multiple regions.
  • Some features remain limited to newer Pixel models as Google Maps power-saving mode is confined to Pixel 10 phones and the Pixel 9a lacks hardware for some AI tools.
