- Our APK teardown of the Pixel Journal beta reveals upcoming reminder controls that let you choose when journaling notifications arrive.
- The update also hints at new media layouts, including compact photo grids and a “Show all” gallery view for entries.
- Other tweaks include full-screen video playback, a theme override option, and small interface changes across the app.
It’s not just Pixel 10 owners who can enjoy the richer features of Pixel Journal anymore. Earlier this week, the March Pixel Drop expanded several of the app’s AI capabilities to Pixel 9 devices, including Reflections, Revisit Topics, and Mood ID. While that update brought more people into the fold, it looks like Google is still actively refining the journaling experience itself.
After digging around in beta version 2026.02.10.867917178 of the app, we’ve spotted a number of interface tweaks and new options currently in development. Some of these changes are already visible if you’re running the beta today, while others required us to manually enable them under the hood. We’ll walk through each of the changes below and note which ones are already available and which appear to still be in testing behind the scenes.
