Live display on Pixel Phones: Flashlight and shopping tracking are coming

What the live display on Pixel phones should be able to do, has been known for months. But only gradually do the planned innovations actually end up in the Pixel Launcher. Two new elements seem to be added very soon. This includes the feature that the widget reminds you of when the flashlight is still on. You will also be offered a power button.

A very well-informed colleague says that the new feature should be available on all Pixel phones with Pixel Launcher very soon.

Track our purchases directly from the home screen

Meanwhile, it was worth taking a look at the source code of the latest app versions to discover the next feature early on. The tracking of food purchases is also planned. Gmail reads your emails and displays corresponding information directly in the widget. What I find basically very cool, because of me also for deliveries from Amazon and Co.

I’m curious to see whether Google Assistant will generally get tracking information from our e-mails in the future and display it in the live display. At least I would like to.

A few of the strings discovered by 9to5Google:
