  "account": "Google is currently testing a new Device help feature powered by the AI model Gemini. This feature can assist Pixel 11 users in troubleshooting common phone problems, adjusting settings, and guiding them through various features on their devices. The experimental feature can be found in Gemini's plus menu, just above the Personal Intelligence option. Currently, it carries a Labs badge, indicating that Google is still in the process of testing it with a limited number of users. The Device help feature was first introduced in the Google app beta version 17.52 but has not yet received a wider rollout.\n\nUsers can describe their phone issues directly to Gemini instead of sifting through settings or support pages. The AI model can guide users through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, battery drain, audio, and app performance issues. It can also help manage battery usage, enable Battery Saver, review storage usage, and provide suggestions on freeing up space. In addition to troubleshooting, Gemini's Device help feature can adjust various settings. Users can ask Gemini to change screen brightness, Dark theme, screen timeout, sound and vibration modes, Do Not Disturb, and Digital Wellbeing features. The AI model can also review app permissions for the camera, microphone, and location, help manage notifications, and configure app timers. Furthermore, Device help can offer step-by-step instructions on using Pixel features, gestures, camera functions, and privacy controls.\n\nHowever, for now, Device help remains an experimental feature under limited testing. Google has not announced a specific timeline for its widespread availability.",
