Update google now home page? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Hey everyone, My gf and I both have XL's on Oreo 8.0 but for some reason her google now card home page looks like it has been updated to some new more transparent look. Anyone know how i could update my google now? Just to clarify i mean the page that i located on the home screen of the stock pixel launcher.
Thanks in advance!

It's rolled out on Google's side eventually you will get it. I hate it.

The big issue is that you can't swipe away cards from the main window. You have to tap the 3 dots then tap done with story. So one gesture that could easily be made is turned into 2 gestures that have to be relatively accurate.

Simple, yet effective.
Absolutely love the display on this slab, makes colours really pop whilst providing some amazing contrast as well. Worth living with some of the bugs just for that.

Z launcher. Really nice though home screen stays in portrait as its really designed for phones.
With android n of course

Notification Dots

My pixel c just got the ota to Oreo but notification dots don't seem to be working even though they are turned on in the settings. Is there something I need to do to get them working or is this another pixel phone only feature.

It's because Google didn't see fit to update the Pixel launcher on our Pixel C. If you check, you'll find it's still the Nougat version (7.1.1.xxxx)

Yup. I don't understand why honestly. What's the point on bringing it if they won't update on future updates. We may see a patch in form of an ota in the future, who knows.
For now, I guess you can use APKmirror to get the latest version.

Anyone got the pixel ambient services apk yet?

It's hard for me to believe we've got the launcher and camera apks but no ambient services apk yet? Why y'all holding out on us. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

I just installed it. No extra settings from what I can see. Probably only active on the new pixels. [emoji25]

Force stop is greyed out on it so it is probably dependent on another app to start the services.

Apparently won't work without the audio matching DB, some extra libraries and some modifications to SystemUI.

Interesting read and in that instance, i regret having a Verizon Pixel XL now .
Some more interesting info in this article from yesterday. Looks like progress is being made and with any luck we'll have this on our 1st gen pixels soon

No 'Pill' on Beta 2 (DP3)

What gives? I thought that was a huge thing. Do you have to enable it somewhere?
Using Nova and Pixel launcher give the same results.

System - Gestures - Swipe up on Home button
Thanks!
What a useless feature! Glad they gave us a choice.
It's not really gestures if you have to pick your finger up to move through the list.

Nope.
If you just want to move through the list, instead of swiping up from the "pill", drag it directly right instead.

I'd guess that would be personal preference i like xda app because it's a little simple and UI is not overwhelming

i use swipe up from left or right for back and swipe up in the center for home and for multitasking swipe up and hold from anywhere .
