Just a few hours ago, we shared with you that Google has rolled out the September 2025 patch update along with several bug fixes for Pixel 6 and above. Apart from this, the company has also released Material 3 Expressive updates and more in the latest Pixel Drop.
September 2025 Pixel Drop
Material 3 Expressive is coming to Pixel 6 and newer devices, as well as the Pixel Tablet. Users can now use Live effects to add fun animations to their lock screen wallpaper, such as adding shapes and weather effects. Quick settings now get a sleek redesign, while you can also customize your Phone by Google experience for calling contacts that’s unique to your personal style.
Later this month, Adaptive Audio is coming to Pixel Buds Pro 2. This will allow your buds to intelligently adjust to your surroundings, so you can stay aware while enjoying your music or podcast. While Loud Noise Protection offers added protection for your hearing. Pixel Buds Pro 2 users can have clear and uninterrupted talks with Gemini, accept an incoming call, or dismiss replying to a text by just nodding or shaking your head.
Apart from this, you can also now simply start walking or biking navigation on your phone, and Google Maps will automatically display on your smartwatch. With this update, there is no need to tap your watch or pull out your phone, and enjoy automatic hands-free guidance from your wrist.
These updates have already started rolling out and will continue over the next few weeks, depending on device and carrier.
