Google is now rolling out a unified At a Glance settings page and introducing a new feature. This feature first got teased in Android 12, but for some reason never made it to the public for usage. Now Google is bringing this feature known as At a Store to the Pixel 8 series.
For the unification process, Google is bringing all At a Glance settings under one section for better accessibility. This update now removes the expansion button that was previously at the bottom of the At a Glance settings page. With this button, users could access more features under this setting page via the Assistant settings in the Google app.
Pixel users can now wave goodbye to this button, as all the At a Glance features can now be found under one settings page. To access this page, users need to open the Pixel Launcher via the settings app and select the At a Glance option. Among all the features that are now available for usage here is a new feature that Google has been working on for a while.
The new At a Store feature is now joining other Google At a Glance options for usage
Right now, there are 21 toggle options on the new At a Glance setting. Previously, users had access to 20 toggle options, ten of which were directly accessible via the At a Glance settings page. The remaining options were available by using the ‘See more features’ button at the bottom of the page.
Google is adding the ‘At a Store’ feature to the list of ‘At a Glance’ features users have access to. This new feature will make shopping a bit easier for Pixel users who get access to the new feature. It’ll work with certain stores that Google supports and help to simplify the entire shopping experience of Pixel users who step into these stores.
With this feature, users will be able to access their shopping lists at a glance once they walk into certain stores. This At a Glance feature will also pull up the user’s Google Pay rewards card for easy shopping. These details will pop up on their smartphone or smartwatch screens for easy access at a glance.
Google teased this feature with Android 12 a few years ago, but it didn’t launch. Now with a new update to the Pixel Launcher, users are getting the ‘At a store’ feature. As well as a unified At a Glance settings design. The new design makes access to all At a Glance features accessible, and the new feature improves the user’s shopping experience.
Users of the Pixel 8 series are already getting this feature via a Google Play Store update. Most users are yet to get this update. But some are already getting the redesign as well as the new feature. The update should arrive for all in the coming weeks.
