Last Updated: August 16, 2024, 07:30 ISTThe new AI feature works through Gemini Nano and stays on devicePixel screenshots is coming to the new Pixel 9 series phones from Google powered by Gemini AI but can you trust the feature to work safely?Google is bringing a new AI feature that is similar to Microsoft’s Recall that has been criticised recently. The Pixel Screenshots was announced at the Made by Google event this week, which lets you search for all the screenshots that you have taken on the phone and use specific meta data to make the search easier. Google explained that it uses the Gemini Nano AI model with multimodality to make the screenshot search happen effectively. For instance, if you have an image saved in the gallery with dogs and waterfall, Pixel Screenshots will let you search with those keywords and give you the results within the device. Google says the AI-powered feature helps you find anything you’ve captured in a screenshot, instantly. From Wi-Fi passwords to must-try restaurants, which is pretty much that people try to screenshot and save on the device. Pixel Screenshots On Pixel 9 Phones – How It Works And Is It SafeSo, how does the feature work? If you take a screenshot on the Pixel 9 phones, Google creates a specific folder where all the photos are stored. It seems Google will give users the option to enable/disable the feature based on their needs and preference which is a good thing to do and probably a lesson learnt from Microsoft’s mistakes. The Screenshots app where the photos are stored get the title from Gemini Nano. The new interface borrows its design from the Material You UI which gives it seamless interaction with other tabs on the device. You can search based on the titles generated by the AI model or just type in a random word that is relevant to the image you want to search. Now, the bigger question, can you trust Pixel Screenshots to keep the data on-device and not send it to third-party or Google servers? Google says the feature works via Gemini Nano and all the data resides on the device itself and hopefully encrypted to protect it from getting hacked in the future.S AadeetyaS Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media ho…Read More
