- Google has been testing several changes to the Pixel’s Now Playing feature.
- With the latest Android Canary build, we managed to activate a dedicated app drawer icon for the Now Playing feature.
- The app icon takes users to the Now Playing history page within the Android System Intelligence app.
We’ve recently spotted Google working on several changes related to the Now Playing functionality available on Pixel devices. Users will soon be able to add a Now Playing shortcut to the Quick Settings panel as well as to the lock screen. Google is also thinking about an interface where Now Playing would display album art right on the lock screen. There’s certainly plenty cooking for this feature, and Google seems to be all set to promote Now Playing with its own app drawer icon in the future.
