Do not disable the Pixel tips app until you comfortable using the Pixel phone and apps, it will give new users tips and default programs like messages will recommend new features to enable as you use them more.

I went from the pixel 6 pro to the 8 pro. And I'm extremely satisfied. Great video.

This has been SO helpful. I have been an iPhone user for over a decade and have now moved to the Pixel 8 Pro. This has helped me get to grips with how to get best use out of a brand new device and OS. I have certainly hit the subscribe button as I am now keen to delve further into what this beast of a phone can do. Thank you WhatGear!

Man this video came in handy. Best Pixel 8 Pro video from all of the videos I've seen. This has been the most useful. Thanks!

As a Pixel 3 user upgrading to the Pixel 8 Pro this video was extremely helpful to get to know a lot of the features that I never had access to or just didn't know about. Thanks! I'm probably using about half of them already.

Great Video, thank you! I'm happy to have this handy flashlight settings. The lockscreen button or the quick-tap Option is great

Just got my phone and was so glad I found your page. It helped me so much to make the phone work better for me.

Great Video! This is my first experience to Pixel with a 8Pro. Coming from a 5year old Oppo Reno i am loving the discovery of this device. Thanks again!

I like how you took your time to make us enlightened about all these. Thank You. 😊

@@WhatGear Please help me in my Google Pro, the pick a better shot option does not appear under the photo. How should I activate it? I have it set to 12 mpx. The magic editor option does not work either. When I want to turn it on, I get a message to use the magic editor, create a backup copy of the photo, but at the bottom right it says save a copy, but it is an inactive button. Any suggestions?

I absolutely loved this video! Extremely helpful indeed thank you

THE LINK SHARE THING IS SO GOOD. IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. OH MY GOD. Its one of the only things i didn't know and its byfar the most useful

Thanks for those tips and tricks there were a few I didn't know. Well done Video! 👍👍👍

Awesome tips, got this arriving tomorrow and can’t wait to start unpacking some these cool features, that wallpaper is brilliant too 👍

There's an accessibility setting to also activate Google Assistant by swiping from the bottom left or right corner! I thought I lost that feature by switching from my s22 ultra and was thrilled to find it!

Hi watching from North east England....New to your channel, subbed mate, as this is the best most indepth video on the features and tips for the pixel 8! I've saved to watch later as I'm picking up this phone tomorrow and will watch on depth for the hours and hours of messing around with my new phone! Great video mate 👊👌

Thank you so much for this very helpful video!!! 👍🏻😃👍🏻

Thanks so much for this. Saved me a lot of time

GREAT INFO!!!!! Can hardly wait for your video with tips and tricks for the CAMERA!!!

I have this video saved for when I finally receive mine in the mail. Made the switch to #TeamPixel after 13 years of being an Apple 🐑. This along with your Pixel 7 Pro tutorial, have been the best!

Great video mate! Well done!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You sped up my learning curve on how to set up my newly acquired Pixel 8 Pro. I am looking forward to your video on the camera capability tips and tricks.

Great video very detailed and I used most of your advice- can you please help with link for screensaver - many thanks

Not sure if I've ever seen a better device introductory video. Liked, definitely subscribed.

Great video, I literally joined your channel after the first tip, that I didn't see anywhere else 👍

Hi. Thank you so much for this video! How did you get the settings app on your homescreen? I can only find my settings by holding down to add a widget and then adding a specific section of settings to my homescreen.

Just got my Pixel 8 Pro today! This video was clutch! Thanks a Bunch!

Will be a first time pixel soon and your video is so helpful.... like how you explain it all clearly and proper love sound of your voice ..it's giving me friendly vibes 😊

Nice tips/organization--I'm a subscriber now!

Really useful content, thank you. Just got my new phone today so this has helped massively....

Thank you for your point of view. I think there will be some minor changes coming into it before 10.2 hits live servers. But we won’t be that strong as the actual version.

This video is SO helpful! Liked! Thank you for these awesome tips and tricks and super clear tutorials!

very useful stuff, I didn't use all of them but a few of them. Thank you

Watched your video before and after I got the pixel. Thanks for your help I love this phone now!😊

Just bought this phone 3 days ago and I'm loving it! Best phones I've ever owned hands down.

Great list. There were several on here that even I overlooked and I've been a Pixel user since the first generation model!

Excellent video. Thank you. 😊.

Thanks for this elaborate video. I really appreciate it, especially because I’m making the switch from iOS to android with the Pixel 8 pro and this is immensely helpful. 🎊🎊

Welcome! I love my pixel. There is no way I would get an iPhone. Good choice! You can install a completely different OS on this phone.

I think one that is better than remove animation, is go to dev settings, then turn animation speeds down to 0.5, it makes the phone feel WAY snappier and doesn't look horrible with no animations.

super informative video. thanks!

Thank you!!! It helped me a lot.

This is a very well made video, thank you. Most valuable tip for me that I found on Reddit was to update Google Play Services and Security, reset Device Health Services and Bluetooth and WiFi when transferring from an old phone. Only after that battery life is acceptable, before that I had (for 2 weeks) a horrendous overheating problem and 1 1/2 h screen time max per battery charge that lasted roughly 12 hours.

Thank you for that, it was very helpful

Just got my 8 Pro and the free Pixel 2 LTE last Friday. Great vid for tips, thanks. Question, where did you get the cool clock that is on the left side of your screen?

The first line of your video is the type of validation I needed

This is my first Google Pixel phone and this video was excellent and the first one I have watched. Thankyou.

Nice, everything i was looking for in one video!

One correction for "Bonus Tip #3": the 'Flip to Shh' option actually enables Do Not Disturb as long as the phone is flipped, silencing all notifications, not just the current call. By default, the phone will silence current calls when you flip it over WITHOUT enabling that option. I prefer this behavior over silencing all notifications in DND.

Thanks for the video. How did you get that big analogue clock there and the settings next to it? Looks cool and convenient.

Great job on your video mate! Thank goodness I came across your video. Having using Samsung since the Galaxy S10, I recently replaced my Galaxy S21 U for this phone and although I love this P8 Pro, I right away I missed all the Samsung whistles and bells and your video helped a lot finding similar handy features compatible to my old GS21U. 1 thing I miss here on this phone is the possibility to free up RAM. Is this possible on the stock P 8 Pro?

Glad you liked it

I have had my Pixel 8 Pro for about two weeks now and I love it! I have read many reviews and watched hundreds of KZread videos about the phone before buying it. I previously owned the Pixel 3 XL, 4 XL, and 6 Pro. I have always enjoyed the Pixel experience even though the phones always had issues. This phone is probably the best Pixel phone and far exceeds the previous phones. I have not experienced some of the issues that other have mentioned such as over heating, lagging while scrolling, connectivity issues, apps shutting down, or any other issues. My experience as of now has been nothing but positive. Before this phone I had the Samsung S23 Ultra and that was a good phone but I am not a fan of Samsungs version of Android. I primarily use my Pixel for phone calls, a lot of texting, media consumption, and for social media, so for me this phone does everything I need it to do just fine. I really do not play games on my phone, so that is a non-issue for me. I do take pictures but I am not professional photographer so in my opinion picture quality can be subjective at times. So for me overall the Pixel 8 Pro is a much more enjoyable experience and I have always enjoyed what Pixels have had to offer.

Best video about tips and features. Thanks.

Great Content , Thank you.🙏

I have a tip. If you're like me and you can't stand the gestures for navigating, like swipe left to go back, you can re-enable to old school 3 buttons at the bottom again! Just go to Settings, system, navigation mode. Then choose 3-button navigation. And you can even go into that setting and turn on hold home button to activate Assistant, so you can change the power button back to the power button if you want.

There was at one time, I think for the Pixel 2XL and maybe up to the 4XL, a third option. It was a fantastic combination of two buttons and a few simple swipe gestures. IDK why Google won't give us that third option again?

Why would anyone ever want to Not use swipe gesture and rather have like 15% of their screen constantly taken by buttons you literally don't need

@CaptainTrips19

7 ай бұрын

@@TECHNIKMM Because the swipes never work the first time for me. ESPECIALLY the swipe up to change apps which is almost the same gesture to open app drawer. Having a dedicated button makes it so much easier to navigate! It's a 6.7 inch screen, so they don't take up much room. Also they can become transparent, and they disappear if something is in full screen.

From Canada here! Great video also really like your clock on main page where would I find it please?🎉🎉

Really learned a lot. I've had it around 3-4 months, and I was getting so frustrated with how it was not like my previous Samsung 20, now I feel I know my way around it soooo much better! Thank you for the clarity of your instructions (albeit a bit fast, but thankfully there's a feature for pause or replay...) I loved the double tap for flashlight, the ways to customize and to understand the security . My personal fav is putting the previous and home buttons on the bottom of the screen!

New sub...great video

For the extended unlock settings, I recommend choosing your car's Bluetooth as it makes you spend less time interacting with your phone and if someone else needs to use it for any reason they can without asking for your password and distracting you each time.

Thank you so much 😊😊

Beautiful video mate and very helpful. My Google 5A died the other day so I’m sitting here with my new Pixel 8 Pro going through your setting as I watch on the computer. Well done, waiting for your camera tips now. 👍🇦🇺

Thanks so much 🙏

Hi Buddy, I've just got myself the Pixel 8 Pro, and I was doubtful at first as I've never used a Google phone before, but the more times I'm using it, I can't put it down......Anyway thanks for the latest video, and some great tips, but I have one question and this one is really bugging me, on the top left corner of the screen you get the time and weather or temperature, is there any way of disabling this to take it off the screen, as I find it quite annoying. .....Cheers Buddy...Grahame

Is there a way to map a double tap to the power button to "ON/OFF torch"? I've been using it for years on all my other devices, I can't believe this is not something that Pixel devices offers. I don't want to fiddle with a small icon on a lockscreen, I need a physical button. I read the Quick Tap offers an action to engage the LED light. Does this work reliable, even with a case around the Pixel?

Great video. Well organised and tips are all ones that could be missed. Love the phone background as well😊
