1. Customize Your Home Screen

Make your Pixel 7 truly yours by customizing the home screen. Long press on the home screen to access customization options, add widgets, change wallpaper, and organize your apps. Use the "At a Glance" widget to keep important information like weather, calendar events, and reminders front and center.

2. Use the Google Assistant

Google Assistant is deeply integrated into the Pixel 7. Activate it by saying "Hey Google" or squeezing the sides of your phone. Use it to set reminders, send texts, control smart home devices, and even make phone calls. For quick tasks, Google Assistant is your best friend.

3. Master the Camera Features

The Pixel 7 camera is one of its standout features. Experiment with Night Sight for incredible low-light photos, use Portrait Mode for professional-looking portraits, and try Astrophotography mode to capture stunning night skies. Don't forget to use Motion Mode for dynamic shots and Top Shot for selecting the best frame from a burst of photos.

4. Explore Call Screen

Tired of spam calls? The Pixel 7’s Call Screen feature helps you avoid them. When you receive a call from an unknown number, tap "Screen call" and Google Assistant will answer for you, providing a transcript of the caller’s response so you can decide whether to answer.

5. Take Advantage of Hold for Me

The Hold for Me feature is a lifesaver for those who hate waiting on hold. When you’re placed on hold, tap "Hold for Me" and Google Assistant will wait on the line for you. You’ll receive an alert when someone returns to the call.

6. Utilize Battery Saver Mode

To extend battery life, use Battery Saver mode. Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Saver and toggle it on. This mode limits background activity and some visual effects to conserve power. You can also set it to turn on automatically at a certain battery level.

7. Activate Flip to Shhh

Enable the Flip to Shhh feature to quickly silence your phone. Go to Settings > System > Gestures > Flip to Shhh and toggle it on. Now, whenever you need to focus or want to silence notifications, just place your phone face down on a flat surface.

8. Leverage Smart Storage

Pixel 7 offers Smart Storage to help manage your photos and videos. When your storage is almost full, the device will automatically remove backed-up photos and videos older than 60 days. Enable it in Settings > Storage > Smart Storage.

9. Use Quick Gestures

Quick Gestures allow you to perform actions without touching your phone. For example, use "Quick Tap" to access certain functions like taking a screenshot or launching a specific app by double-tapping the back of your phone. Configure these in Settings > System > Gestures.

10. Personalize Always-On Display

Customize the Always-On Display to show time, notifications, and other important information. Go to Settings > Display > Lock screen > Always show time and info. You can also personalize what notifications appear on the lock screen for added privacy.

With these tips and tricks, you’ll be able to fully harness the power of your Google Pixel 7, making your daily tasks easier and your smartphone experience more enjoyable.
