November 2025 Pixel Drop — Themes, Smarter Notifications, Scam Protections & More
Google’s latest Pixel Feature Drop for November 2025 is rolling out to supported Pixel phones and tablets. The update brings fresh customization options, smarter notifications, expanded scam protection, and several refinements that improve daily usability.
New Limited-Time Theme Packs
The update introduces new theme packs featuring wallpapers, icons, system sounds, and GIFs. The first pack celebrates the film Wicked: For Good. These themes are available for a limited time on Pixel 6 and newer devices.
Smarter Notification Experience
Notifications receive a major boost with a more organized and intelligent system:
- Notification Summaries — AI-generated summaries for long conversations (Pixel 9+; Pixel 9a excluded).
- Notification Organizer — automatically sorts and filters less important alerts.
- Pixel VIPs — mark key contacts as VIP to prioritize their messages and show quick-identify badges.

Call Notes Expansion
Call Notes, powered by Gemini Nano, now covers more countries — record, transcribe, and get quick summaries on-device without third-party apps.
Pixel 10 Features for Older Devices
Features that debuted on Pixel 10 — like the Device Health & Support hub and Pixel Journal — are being backported to devices as far back as Pixel 6. Accessibility improvements such as Magnifier are also getting broader support, including Pixel Fold models.
Other Notable Tweaks
- Maps power-saving layout to extend battery during navigation on Pixel 10.
- New Google Sounds with updated alarms, ringtones and notifications.
- Remix in Messages and AI edit suggestions in Photos for quick creativity.
