But if you don't like this change, you don't have to follow Google.If you want to display the power menu by pressing the right button on the right as before, turn off "Gesture" from "System", "Press and hold the power button"> "Press and hold an assistant".That way, you can change the settings.

One of the best pixel -limited features is "What is this song?"This is something that can be identified what the song is when you have a song like Shazam, even if you don't bother to open or make a request.Thanks to the new TENSOR chip installed from Pixel 6, the song can be determined more quickly.

To confirm that "What is this song?" Is enabled in pixel 6, each setting about this function by opening "Settings and Vibration" and "What is this song?" I can.

From "Settings" to "Display", "Automatic Screen", and "Face Detection" are turned on to use this function.

10.The shortcut of the back double tap can be conveniently customized

Double tap the back of pixel 6 to shoot screenshots, start up Google Assistant, play media, display the list of recent apps, display recent notifications, and launch the selected app.Various shortcuts can be started.I think it is a convenient shortcut to set.

From "Settings", select "System", "Gesture" and "Quick Tap".You can set "Quick Tap on/Off" on the next screen or customize the behavior you want to do with shortcuts.
