  • Google has confirmed that the new Night Sight for Instagram feature included in the latest Pixel Drop will make it to A series devices.
  • The company had previously said that the feature wouldn’t be available on the Pixel 6a, Pixel 7a, and Pixel 8a.
  • The feature will let you capture high-quality images in low-light conditions directly from the Instagram app.

The October 2024 Pixel Drop brings a ton of useful features to Google’s Pixel devices. However, some of the new features, including Underwater Photography & Video, Audio Magic Eraser, and Object Temperature Sensor, are limited to newer models possibly due to hardware limitations. While Google also said that it won’t offer Night Sight for Instagram on Pixel A series devices, that seems to have been an error.

Night Sight for Instagram is a handy new feature that lets Pixel users capture high-quality images in low-light conditions directly from the Instagram app. Google initially said that the feature would roll out globally on Pixel 6 and newer devices, except A series models. But the company has now confirmed (h/t Mishaal Rahman) that it will make it to the budget-friendly phones.
