The next generation of Pixel phones could come with new \u201cGoogle AI\u201d features, including one that sounds a little like Microsoft\u2019s controversial Recall<\/a> tool. As reported by Android Authority<\/em><\/a>, Google is working on a \u201cPixel Screenshots\u201d feature that can \u201csave and process helpful details\u201d from your screenshots, allowing you to search through them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, unlike Microsoft Recall, which automatically captures what you\u2019re doing on your device, Google\u2019s version would only process the screenshots taken manually \u2014 which should immediately make it less creepy-feeling than Recall. Microsoft delayed the rollout of Recall<\/a> on Windows 11 after security experts raised concerns<\/a> about the feature. Even though Google AI may only use the screenshots you take, it could raise similar concerns based on how the information is processed and stored.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Images obtained by Android Authority<\/em> indicate that you can enable or disable AI processing for your screenshots at any time. When toggled on, it looks like you can use the feature to summarize your screenshots or answer questions about the information in them. Google will also save metadata, such as links, app names, and when the screenshot was taken to make it easier to search for specific images, according to Android Authority<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Google is planning to roll out a similar feature<\/a> in Google Photos that uses AI to help you search through your photos. These aren\u2019t the only AI features Google is working on, either. In addition to Pixel Screenshots, Android Authority<\/em> reports that a new photo editing feature called \u201cAdd Me\u201d will live under the Google AI umbrella. This feature could let you add someone to a group photo, which goes a step further than tweaking everyone\u2019s faces with Best Take<\/a>. Google will also reportedly add a previously rumored Studio tool<\/a> that could use AI to generate stickers and other images.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
