Pixel Phones Get a New Health Check-Up Tool

Google is rolling out a significant update for older Pixel phones with the introduction of the "Device health & support" dashboard. This is a major departure from the previous "Tips & support" page in the settings, offering a comprehensive health check-up for your device in one centralized location.

Key Features and Availability

• Initial Release: The feature first appeared on the Pixel 10 series and is now expanding to Pixel 6 to Pixel 9 phones with the November 2025 Feature Drop.
• Need Help with Your Pixel: A chatbot-like option at the top that can guide users through any issues they encounter.

Dashboard Overview

The dashboard provides a quick health check for your phone:

• Green Checkmark: Indicates that your Pixel is in great shape.
• Yellow Exclamation Mark: Signals potential issues, such as a pending update.

Sections Included

• Battery Health
• Device Temperature
• Storage
• Software Update
• More

User Experiences

Some users, particularly those with the Pixel 7 Pro, have reported seeing only a few options like Device Temperature, Storage, and Software Updates. This discrepancy might be due to the device not yet receiving the latest update.

Keeping Services Updated

To ensure everything runs smoothly, it's recommended to keep the Device Health Services and Settings Services up-to-date. Here’s how:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on your name at the top.
3. Select All services.
4. Navigate to Privacy & security.
5. Choose System services.

Conclusion

This new dashboard is a step forward in making it easier for users to understand and manage their phone's health. It's a simple yet useful addition that can help keep your Pixel running smoothly.
