Then Google… Googled. It gutted the Assistant’s reminders system, stripped out its cross-platform capabilities, and removed some of its most useful options. (And then, well, you know.) It also mysteriously removed the reminder feature from Messages, without fanfare and for no apparent reason.
Given that context, I mean it: a new Pixel-specific reminder system that's quietly rolling out to Pixel 9 devices is truly remarkable. It makes me forget about all the lost Android reminder options of the past and appreciate the simple, fluid, system-wide ability to set myself a reminder about anythingat any time, at the operating system level, and then rest easy knowing that it will reappear to grab my attention exactly when I need it.
The system is connected to the new Pixel Screenshots app found on Google’s new Pixel 9 devices. That app, in case you haven’t heard, encourages you to capture screenshots whenever you see something you want to remember and then makes it easier for you to search for, ask questions about, and generally review that information later.
