  "account": "Google is testing a new Connectivity health menu for its Pixel phones that could help users diagnose Wi-Fi, mobile data, and call problems in a single location. The feature is currently hidden in unreleased code and has not been announced for public release. During testing, only the mobile data diagnostic completed the troubleshooting process, checking the phone's data connection and speed, and recommending Private DNS be set to \"off\" or \"automatic.\" While call diagnostics and Wi-Fi diagnostics opened their initial screens, they did not provide working troubleshooting steps. The feature could potentially produce a report of settings changed during a diagnostic session. Google is also testing a narrower mobile connection troubleshooting process for calls and mobile data, with the Connectivity health menu extending this approach by putting several connection checks under one menu. However, the feature's release date, supported Pixel models, and Android version requirements have not been disclosed. The feature also raises questions about whether it can recognize administrator-controlled network settings on managed phones, and where diagnostic reports would be stored.",
