November 2026 Pixel Drop: Create My Widget, HiLight for Google Messages, Pixel 10 Rambler, & more
Like last year, the next Pixel Drop is rolling out a month early in November. Coupled with Android 17 QPR2, it’s quite a big Feature Drop for Gemini and other AI capabilities, as well as the Pixel 10 series.
Pixel Watch Drop: Create My Widget, Phone-to-Watch Unlock, and Wear OS 7.1
Gemini Intelligence is coming to the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The lead feature is Rambler to automatically remove filler words and format your transcription.
The Pixel 10 series also gets Gemini app automation for ordering groceries, ride-sharing, meal delivery, marketplace transactions, and booking reservations. Proactive Gemini Actions let you “send groceries right to your Google Keep list straight from ongoing conversations” and more.
The Pixel 11 and 10 are getting Create My Widget. This generative UI capability lets you create custom homescreen objects using natural language. For example, you can create a sports widget or an event countdown. The feature first debuted on Googlebooks.
On the Pixel 11, Gemini Call Screen is an “intelligent, proactive assistant that screens incoming inquiries on demand.” Replacing Manual Call Screen, Gemini will speak to callers in a more conversational manner than before.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 10+ now lets Gemini make calls on your behalf in the US. Use cases include changing reservations, putting items on hold, and checking inventory. Beta testing started in September.
The AI features continue with 10 new Custom Icon styles. Following the March introduction, Google has upgraded the experience with Nano Banana for higher-quality icons. Available on Pixel 6a+.
Pixel Solver in the Google Calculator app provides generative AI custom templates and allows for conversational, multi-step problem solving using prompts. This is available on Pixel 11+.
Unit Conversion is a “top-tier module” that saves you from switching between your browser and the Calculator app. It offers inline mathematics, combined unit interpretation, and real-time exchange rates on the Pixel 6a+.
