TL;DR
- Google is preparing to turn Pixel’s Now Playing feature into a standalone app distributed via the Play Store.
- Our findings suggest the app won’t be installable on all Android devices, pointing to continued Pixel exclusivity.
- The change could enable faster updates and new features, with a possible launch tied to an upcoming Pixel Feature Drop.
Google seems to be working on a major upgrade for one of the Pixel’s oldest and most-loved features — Now Playing. The signs have been there since last year, but a new version of Android System Intelligence now clearly shows that the company is working on making Now Playing a dedicated app that can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
