Google's Device Help, a Gemini feature that debuted with the Pixel 11 series, is available on any Pixel phone running Android 17, according to Android Authority.
Device Help lets users describe what they want to do on their phone in plain text, after which Gemini surfaces the relevant settings and can offer to apply several changes at once with a single tap. Android Authority reported that Google's Minhaz A V posted a video of the feature on X, showing Gemini presenting options to make a phone more comfortable to use at night, including dark mode and screen brightness adjustments.
The same post indicated that Device Help is not limited to the Pixel 11 and that the feature will expand to more devices in the future.
