TL;DR Google is rolling out new Google Fit features to Android, iOS, and Wear OS devices. The new Google Fit homescreen will offer a more comprehensive look at your health data.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel feature drops are now supported within the beta channel for Pixel smartphones. The June 2022 drop is already here for Pixel 4 and newer devices.

As usual, the drop included new features and bug fixes.

Getting a PS5 from Walmart has been a nightmare partially due to Walmart’s laissez-faire attitude towards sales.
