TL;DR
- Google recently updated Pixel’s Transit Mode to work automatically, and it could soon also trigger Motion Assist and Take a Message.
- We now have screenshots to show the automatic Motion Assist trigger.
- Additionally, evidence from Transit Mode’s code also shows it could automatically trigger the Pixel-exclusive Take a Message voicemail feature.
Earlier this week, Google rolled out the November 2026 update for a broad range of Pixel devices. Among the best new features coming to Pixels is Transit Mode 2.0, which enables automatically when the phone detects that you’re on the go. This allows different audio settings to take over your Pixel device on their own, while unwanted notifications and potentially sensitive information are hidden.
Besides this, Google has been working on enabling a few features automatically when Transit Mode is turned on. While those weren’t announced with the latest Pixel Drop, we have more evidence suggesting they’re being worked on actively.
