Google Camera v9.0 Update: Revamped UI, Enhanced Features, and Seamless Navigation
Google Camera app is getting a new update with v9.0 (9.0.115.561695573.37) for Pixel devices. The update is rolling out for devices running Android 14. The latest update brings a major redesign to the camera that makes it easier to access different camera modes and settings.
The main change is the Photo/Video switcher at the bottom of the screen. You can swipe left or right to choose between various Photo or Video modes, such as Portrait, Night Sight, Slow Motion, and more. You can also swipe up to open the settings panel, which used to be at the top.
The latest Google Camera v9.0 update also has a revamped icon that matches the Android 14 theme. In addition, the new zoom slider added to Pixel 7 is now available on Pixel 6. The buttons to switch to the front camera and open gallery have been swapped.
It started rolling out on September 7, but it is not widely available yet. You can download it from APKMirror if you have a Pixel device running Android 14 Beta 5.3. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the official release of Android 14 or the Pixel 8 series to see the new design.
Google has updated the volume menu in the Android 15 Beta 2 update, offering users a new look and features. This is the first significant redesign since the concept of the overflow menu was introduced in Android 10. The new design was first spotted in April and has been slightly modified since then to add new shortcuts.
Android 15 changes the volume menu widely that appears after tapping the overflow button, not the initial slider that shows up when pressing the volume keys. Also, the updated interface now features larger sliders with bold colors, aligning with Google’s Material You design language.
Moreover, it also adds new features including a shortcut for Live Caption and an audio output switcher at the bottom of the menu. Although Android previously allowed users to switch audio outputs through Quick Settings, this redesign provides an alternative that is always accessible.
Users can now add a Cast volume slider when needed. They can also choose to condense the menu with a new button “Media”, and the system will remember this setting for future use. If you have installed the Android 15 Beta 2 update on your Pixel device, enjoy the new look of your smartphone’s volume menu.

Google has introduced a new accessibility feature for Android users called Project Gameface. This feature allows users to control their phone’s cursor with head movements and facial expressions, like raising eyebrows or opening their mouth.
This new feature uses a good combination of technologies, which include Android’s accessibility services, Google’s MediaPipe framework, and the smartphone’s front camera. Users can customize up to 52 different gestures and adjust the sensitivity of these gestures to suit their needs.
For this feature to work in different apps, app developers need to add support for Project Gameface. Google hopes that many developers will do this to make their apps more accessible to all Android users.
The Project Gameface feature was first announced for Windows and is now coming to Android. It shows Google’s effort to make technology usable for all.
Project Gameface for Android was created with three main principles in mind:
- To help people with disabilities use their phones in a new way
- To make this help affordable and easy to get for as many people as possible.
- To use what was learned from the GameFace launch version to make it even better and more personal for each user.

Google has announced a new feature for Android that elevates call security using Gemini Nano technology. This new feature will alert users during a call if it detects patterns that are often seen in scam conversations, such as requests for personal information, OTP, and more.
The processing of this security feature happens on-device to ensure that conversations remain private and secure. This feature will be optional, allowing users to opt in as per their preference.
Although Google has not released much information about the Gemini Nano-based Call security feature yet, the company has promised to reveal more details later this year. This feature will be very useful for call security on Android mobile.
With this new feature, Google aims to protect Android users from potential scams and fraudulent activities.
We're testing a new feature that uses Gemini Nano to provide real-time alerts during a call if it detects conversation patterns commonly associated with scams. This protection all happens on-device so your conversation stays private to you. More to come later this year! #GoogleIO pic.twitter.com/l87wGCz62x
