- We were able to activate a Pixel Screenshots widget, an as-yet-unreleased feature in the app.
- The widget is pretty simple, but it does bring your latest screenshot and some tools right to your homepage.
- It’s unclear when this feature could launch to the public, but Google I/O in May or the June Pixel Drop are good guesses.
With the Google Pixel 9 series, Google launched a brand new app exclusive to Pixels: Pixel Screenshots. This app organizes all your screenshots into one place, which, in itself, is a nice feature. However, the app also uses AI to analyze those screenshots, giving you a way to search for content way after the fact. For example, you could search for “potted plant” and find the screenshot you took of one months prior.
As powerful as Pixel Screenshots is, it is missing one thing: a widget. That’s changing soon, though, and we have a first look at it.
