Google's September Pixel Drop is live, bringing updates to Pixel phones, tablets, and watches. Pixel VIPs now offers a home-screen upgrade with one-tap calls and texts, notification badges for unread or urgent messages, and a floating nav bar to swipe between contacts. Scam Detection expands to more languages and regions for chat notifications, and Gboard flags suspicious messages as you type. Pixel Watch gets Raise to Talk enhancements on Pixel Watch 4 and newer, plus a one-handed pinch gesture on Pixel Watch 3 and newer to launch and scroll the notification tray.

A Harry Potter Audiobook Pack can change wallpaper, icons, and sounds, with eligible users getting a two-month Audible trial, good through December 31.

VIP contacts work on Pixel 6 and newer worldwide with required app versions. Scam Detection availability varies by country and language.
