The Magnifier app is available on Google Pixel phones, and Guided Frame is initially available on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, with plans to expand its availability to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 by the end of the year.
Enhancements for Easier Navigation: The remainder of the update consists of minor adjustments to select apps:
- Google Maps on mobile will feature a “wheelchair-accessible transit” option, helping users find locations with step-free entrances and wheelchair-friendly buildings.
- Maps for Android Auto will indicate “wheelchair-accessible places” on the screen with a blue icon next to relevant results.
- Local businesses can label themselves as “Disabled-owned” on Google Search, allowing users to directly support them.
Another change involves Assistant Routines on Google Home, which will resemble the company’s Actions Block app. Users can configure the icons on the main screen as they see fit, increasing their size and customizing the thumbnail image for one of the blocks.
