First 10 things every Pixel 4 owner should do
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.
One of our favorite features on the Pixel 4 is one that’s been licensed from HTC. When the Active Edge feature is turned on, you can squeeze the phone to activate the Google Assistant instead of pulling it up form the search bar on the screen or saying the “OK, Google” phrase for everyone around you to hear. The Active Edge feature can be turned on in the Pixel 4’s Settings under System > Gestures > Active Edge. Here you’ll be able to adjust the squeeze sensitivity (you may need to tweak this if you switch cases or decide not to use a case at all), allow the feature to work when the screen is off or use Active Edge to silence calls or alarms.
