Although Magic Eraser was previously only available on phones with Google's custom Tensor chipset, it can now be used on older Pixel devices and is also available to non-Pixel Android and iOS users with Google One subscriptions, provided that their phones have at least 3GB of RAM and are running Android 8.0 or iOS 15.0 or later.

In addition to Magic Eraser, the latest feature drop brings the faster Night Sight feature of the Pixel 7 to the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, thanks to "new algorithms powered by Google Tensor." The updated Direct My Call feature, which transcribes menu options before they're read in some cases, is also being introduced to Pixel 4A phones and newer models.

Google is also fulfilling its promise of an ultra-wideband enabled digital car key for the Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro, which allows the phones to unlock or lock a compatible car without taking the phone out of the pocket. The UWB version only works with select 2022+ BMW models.

Other updates included in the feature drop are the ability to set a timer on a Nest device and view it on a Pixel, a hub for health and fitness data settings called Health Connect, and fall detection feature for the Pixel Watch.

While Google is bringing many of the newer Pixel features to older devices, some features like face unlock, Clear Calling, and Cinematic Blur video mode may not be available on previous-generation phones due to hardware limitations.
