- Pixel devices can soon receive a shortcut for search AI mode on the home screen.
- The shortcut pixel will appear in the launcher’s search widget and the Google app will launch the AI mode interface.
- We have enabled it in Android 16 QPR1 beta to give you an initial shape.

An AP tear down helps predict the features that can reach a service -based code on the future. However, it is possible that such predators do not make it public release.
Google plans to add AI mode shortcut to the Pixel Launcher’s Search Wedge, which allows users to access this feature on the home screen. We first saw this shortcut reference in Android 16 son and took a look at his icon. Although it still does not live in Android 16 QPR1, we have now made it manually enabled so that you can get the initial form.
As we exhibited in a joke earlier this year, the AI -mode shortcut appears on the left side of a sound search widget and the left side of the lens shortcut in the search widget. The AI mode icon contains Google’s signature colors, but if you enable the “You the Namadar icons” option, you adapt to the colors of the system. Taping on this opens the Google app’s AI mode interface, making it easier for users to start searching for AI mode from the home screen.
AI mode home screen shortcuts can reach pixel devices with Android 16. However, since it does not last in Android 16 Qpr1 beta, Google can delay its rollout in subsequent release. As soon as the shortcut is widely available, this post will be updated.
