The new Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL from Google are two amazing smartphones. If this is the first device you’ve purchased in a long time, there are a lot of new software features which you may not know how to use. To take the mystery out of the phone, we’ve put together a list of the 10 most important things every Pixel 4 owner should do with their phone to get the best experience possible from the device.

Feel free to leave us a comment if you have any other Pixel 4 recommendations that you’d like to share with us or our readers.

Have you ever heard a song while in a store and wondered what the title or artist was? In the past, you’d often need to install an app like Shazaam to figure it out, but the Pixel 4 can do it automagically with its Now Playing feature. The phone will automatically pick up on music that’s playing around you and store the name of the track and artist in a list for easy reference.

To turn the feature on, go to Settings > Sound > Now Playing and switch the Show songs on lock screen to the on position. From this screen, you’ll also be able to access the Now Playing History which will have a timestamp of the songs that the phone identified. If you’d like, there’s also an option to add a shortcut to the list form the Homescreen if it’s something you’ll be accessing on a regular basis.
