Original article, August 26, 2025 (14:43 am he): When launching Pixel 10 last week, Google announced a lot of new features that would take place with the new smartphone. One of these features is called writing tools, which we have spotted two months ago in an APK disassembly. Although we knew that it would be available for Gbord on Pixel 10, it was not clear how long we had to wait for it to take place towards older pixels. It seems that the wait will not be so long.

If you do not know the writing tools, it is an upcoming writing assistance function in Gbord. It allows the user to check their text and correct writing errors. But it’s more than just a rereading tool. It can also rewrite what you have hit in a specific style, which you want to seem more professional, friendly, etc. You can even use voice commands to rewrite or reformulate the text. Functionally, it works a lot as “help me write” in the Gmail application.
If you want to try this tool, it seems that you have your luck soon. It seems that Google has already started to deploy writing tools to certain older pixel phones. We have received advice on the discord of the owners of pixels identifying the functionality on their devices.
Although the functionality begins to land on other pixel peripherals, it is not clear how long it will take for the functionality to take place largely. As mentioned above, this is the only new tool that Google recently announced. There is Magic Cue, Auto Best Take, Voice Translate and Camera Coach, to name only a few.
