New Pixel-Exclusive 'Sounds' App to Improve Downloading and Using Ringtones

Google is likely to be working on a new app, exclusive to Pixel users initially, which volition let them choose "sounds for alarms, ringtones, and notifications".

The app chosen only "Sounds" was manifestly uploaded to the Play Store very recently, looking at just "ane+" downloads. It is likely to be included with the features update rolled out to Pixel devices earlier today.

The ringtones announced to be segmented broadly in categories such every bit Pixel Sounds, Classic Harmonies, Minimal Melodies, Reality Bytes, Retro Riffs. Moreover, the screenshots also point out that with the selection of each sound, a custom visualization will play.

Further, users will too take the option to "Download new sounds" if the existing drove is non as sufficient. However, we'll only exist able to know clearly when the app becomes functional.

Additionally, there are a few patches aimed at improving the usability of the Pixel Stand and to learn more nearly the update here.
