The Quick Phrases feature was spotted on Pixel 3 XL smartphones running Android 12 Beta version 12.39.17.29. This also creates confusion if the feature is exclusive to the latest operating system. Anyway, in order to experience the feature, you need to activate it via Assistant settings. After toggling the button, the Google Assistant will listen to certain phrases depending on the situation.

In short, it puts the Assistant on standby. For instance, you can simply say “Answer” to pick up an incoming call or reject it by saying “Decline.” Similarly, you can stop or turn off the alarm by saying “Stop” or “Snooze.” In any case, you don't have to lead the command with “Hey Google” anymore.

Additionally, some other similar commands are likely to accompany the list of Quick Phrases. This could include regular orders like “Cancel the alarm,” “Send a broadcast,” “What’s the weather?,” “Turn up the volume,” and “Pause the music.”

Also, Google Assistant will remind you that you can skip saying “Hey Google.” It will display a small bar beneath the notification for alarms/timers and incoming phone calls.

Twitter's introduces a prompt to let users know when a conversation might heat up

The feature will warn the users when a conversation might get intense or heat up. It will promote quality engagement and will alert users against any fierce conversation. When you click the prompt, the app will take you to the guidelines that will assist you to navigate the conversation respectfully.

FYI, Twitter teased the feature in September along with other new traits that the company is rolling out. The microblogging site officially announced that the new feature will make way for Android and iOS platforms on Wednesday.

https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1445824131040120835?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1445824131040120835%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.androidcentral.com%2Ftwitter-warns-intense-conversations

Though the question is how Twitter will determine when to show this prompt or if it is always correct. Here's what the company has to say about it:

"The criteria we use to determine which conversations will show this prompt may change as we learn from this test.We may consider the Tweet topic and the relationship between the Tweet author and replier."

The company has been on a mission to promote engagement in a rough place like social media. This upcoming feature will keep the users away from any intense conversation that will make them feel more comfortable and foster a safe environment.

A couple of months back, Google officially announced the launch of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro this fall.

Also, there's a possibility that Google could officially announce the release of Android 12 for its flagships at the event. Though the operating system is released as an AOSP. And Google gave the time frame of the next few weeks for the Android 12 update for Pixel and other smartphones manufacturers. Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will be the first smartphone to get the Android 12 OS.

If we look at the pictures previously revealed by Google, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro look quite different from their predecessors. Apart from the new design, the company has powered the devices with its Tensor processor. Moreover, they will house new fancy cameras with bars running across the width of the phones using Samsung sensors.

You must be wondering about the naming protocol as instead of the typical XL model, this time Google has decided to introduce a pro variant. Talking about the difference in design, both Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro is almost the same. However, they differ in their screen size, camera lenses, and obviously, the Pro variant has some extra features onboard.

We have the launch date in our hands now but the pricing and availability are still unknown and will be revealed at the launch event.
