Google is returning the Quick Launch feature to the Pixel Launcher search bar that it previously took away.
Google is returning a feature that it took away from the Pixel Launcher search bar. In the good old days before the search bar would search the internet and on your device at once, Pixel devices would allow the user to type the name of an app in the search field at the top of the screen, hit the enter key on the QWERTY, and viola! The app would open like magic. But once
combined the search bars to create the unified one Pixel users now have, this"Quick Launch" feature was removed. But Google is now reversing this and is pushing out"Quick Launch" to Pixel handsets. First spotted bywith the Android 13 QPR2 Beta 1 release, typing in the name of an app you want to open in the Pixel Launcher search bar will highlight that app to indicate that tapping the 'enter' key on your virtual QWERTY will open it. Once again, it's s small convenience move made by Google which it does often for Pixel users.
While 9to5Google says that it has spotted the"Quick Launch" feature on a Pixel 7 running Android 13 QPR2, it has yet to hit this writer's Pixel 6 Pro running Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3.2. From all appearances, it would seem that Google has not flipped the switch that would broaden the release of this server-side update.And while we are on the subject of updates, there are now only 20 days left until June 5th which is the first Monday in June.
You might want to start thinking now about what you are going to do. Once you decide to go with the Android 14 Beta, you won't be able to leave without a data wipe until the final, stable version of Android 14 is released which probably will take place in August.
