Google is taking away a Pixel Buds Pro characteristic that lets customers contact and maintain an earbud to listen to unread notifications. In an replace on Tuesday, Google confirmed that Assistant “will now not learn unread notifications when utilizing the press Assistant characteristic.”
Additionally, Google says Assistant will cease routinely alerting you to unread notifications on the Pixel Buds, nor will it allow you to reply. Instead, Google says you’ll be able to hear notifications by activating Assistant and saying “Read my notifications.”
The “contact and maintain” gesture on the Pixel Buds Pro at present lets wearers change between energetic noise cancelation and Transparency mode by default. Before this modification, customers may configure this gesture to have Assistant learn notifications aloud.
Last week, Pixel Buds Pro customers observed that they weren’t ready to make use of the “contact and maintain” to listen to their notifications, however Google didn’t affirm that it’s eradicating the characteristic till now.
The change, which Google says it’s making primarily based on consumer suggestions, comes a couple of week earlier than the discharge of the Pixel Buds Pro 2. It looks as if extra tweaks are to come back, as Google says it’s going to “consider additional modifications to notifications.”
