Google has announced the rollout of Contextual suggestions on Android. This is a new AI-powered feature which is designed to learn from user habits and offer timely recommendations directly on device.

The Contextual suggestions feature uses AI to analyse the device activity and location data to predict what might be useful at a given time. For instance, the system can suggest playlists when you’re at the gym or prompt you to cast sports games to your TV at the usual time. These recommendations are designed to make everyday smartphone use more intuitive and personalised.The feature is rolling out on Pixel 10 and Pixel 10a devices with Android 16 and Google Play services version 26.18. It is not yet available on older Pixel models or Android 17 Beta releases.
