One of the best features of Google Pixel smartphones is “Now Playing,” an ambient way of tracking music that’s playing…
mine has always done exactly what i want it to do. stay off.
Just tested it and it seems to work normally on my Pixel 7.
6a. Works fine
Mine works very consistently. No complaints here.
Yeah it’s a sketchy feature, sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. Have Shazam as a backup. Use Shazam most the time…
6 pro has it show up most of the time I look. I’ve never tried to use it to play/buy music so no idea on that front.
Always crashes after trying to play song in your chosen streaming service (Deezer for me).
Doesn’t cache prior results on phone so will take ages to reload from Google server. Nevertheless, one of my most used and pinned apps on my Pixel 7 Pro/Niagara.
I just wish that they would give it some love.
I didn’t even know this feature existed.
I have noticed this too.

I get it, privacy is good and people should do what they can to feel comfortable.
But in the case of the now playing feature that’s all done on-device - which is why it tends not to recognise the obscure stuff.
I just look at the screen with my eyeballs…
