This October will mark nine years since Google introduced one of the best Pixel features it’s ever created. The first time Now Playing automatically identified a song on my Pixel 2 XL, it felt like magic. All these years later, it’s one of the main reasons I carry a Pixel instead of any other Android phone.
Google has slightly tweaked Now Playing over the years, but the core experience has largely remained the same. However, it just got its biggest update ever with the release of Google’s new Now Playing app.
