Google has a fix for Pixel's 'Now Playing' bug, plans an update


The feature has apparently been broken for some time.

Now Playing is a neat party trick for Pixel owners, though, and many users noticed it not working as expected in recent months. As Android Authority notes, that update is already slated to include fixes for other annoying Pixel bugs, like the back gesture that doesn't always work. The update represents a resolution for a problem that has plagued Pixel users for months, dating back to at least November 2024, according to the Issue Tracker thread.
