Google's Rules feature, a long-forgotten automation tool from 2019, still exists on Android 16 and can make your Pixel 10 experience much smoother. This handy feature lets you create automations based on Wi-Fi networks or location, triggering specific phone settings without manual intervention.

Unlike Google Home routines that control smart devices, Rules focuses on changing your phone's own settings automatically. For example, you can set your phone to enable Wi-Fi calling when you connect to your home network, or switch to silent mode when you arrive at work.

The setup process is straightforward: open Settings, navigate to System settings, tap Rules, and follow the prompts to create your automation. You can choose between Wi-Fi-based or location-based triggers, then select the action you want your Pixel to perform automatically.
