What you need to know
- An Android leak suggests Google is working to bring its Pixel 10-exclusive Magic Cue feature to more Android phones via “contextual suggestions.”
- This feature would leverage your app data and location to suggest songs to play, messages to send, and much more.
- The Pixel 10 received Magic Cue earlier this year, along with Google’s explanation that it would draw on apps like Gmail, Google Photos, Calendar, and more to provide “in-context suggestions” when using your phone.
One of Google’s newest AI features from its Pixel 10 series is rumored to be on its way to more Android phones.
A teardown of Google’s Play Services API by tipster AssembleDebug (Android Authority) suggests that the Pixel 10’s Magic Cue is in the works for more devices. The tipster’s evidence shows that this feature might not transfer as Magic Cue, but rather as “Contextual Hints.” The company’s initial description of the code states that users can get “helpful suggestions from its apps and services based on their routine activities and locations.”
Google is preparing to use both together to provide better phone support, such as suggesting the right playlist when it knows you’re at a gym, for example.
This is similar behavior to how Magic Cue works between apps on the Pixel 10 for your suggestions.
Since this is an AI-based feature, another description highlights how the AI will “learn” from your personal data on your phone to make “predictions.” These predictions are where the utility comes from to suggest apps, songs, and more during certain times or when performing certain actions. AssembleDebug draws attention to how widespread Google can make this feature on Android phones.
As the tipster points out, it’s unclear at this time whether contextual suggestions will remain exclusive to on-device AI phones and won’t reach cloud services.
A little Android magic
If someone wants to know what time their flight leaves or arrives, Magic Cue will grab those details from Gmail and have them ready on their clipboard to paste.
Because Magic Cue is so intimately involved in its business, Google says users don’t have to enable it if they don’t want to. However, if you do so, you will have full control over your data with options to delete it. Google offered comfort to users by saying their data is processed “securely and privately” with Gemini.
