A beloved Pixel feature hasn’t been working properly for months, leaving users fed up and fuming
- Pixel phones, from the Pixel 6 to the Pixel 9 series, are facing significant issues with the “Now Playing” feature, which is failing to recognize songs as it did before.
- Reddit and Google community forums are flooded with complaints about the feature not working, even after the release of an update aimed at improving it.
- Users have suggested clearing the cache for Android System Intelligence as a potential fix, but many are still frustrated with the persistent issues.
One of the best features of Pixel phones is their ability to identify music playing nearby and display the song title and artist name on the lock screen. Known as “Now Playing,” the feature has been a fan favorite ever since Google introduced it on the Pixel 2, helping users instantly recognize songs they hear in restaurants, cars, or other public spaces. However, it seems Now Playing is experiencing significant issues across Pixel devices, with its functionality severely impaired for months.
