Pixel 5 tips and tricks: Here are a few tricks to make Google Pixel experience better

Since the company wished to make the devices' prices to be competitive at the cost of the processor, Google has still managed to surprise the fans with some features/tricks which are missing from other flagship devices. Check out some of the best Pixel 5 hacks and Google Pixel 5 secret features below:

Now Playing

One of the best Pixel 5 hacks which also works offline is the 'Now Playing' feature. This feature listens to all the music a user has playing in the background and identifies them for reference in the future. The feature is similar to Shazam, but, it can also work in offline mode which sets it apart from others.

On-screen Google Assistant

When on the Google Pixel 5 device, users only need to swipe up from either the right or the left corner of the screen to boot up Google Assistant. The earlier Pixel devices had an option to squeeze the sides of the phone which resulted in the Google Assistant launching but that has been removed from the latest lineup. However, the 'OK Google' voice command stays intact in the Pixel 5 devices.
