User complaints
Google Pixel phone owners have expressed their frustration on platforms like Reddit, detailing issues such as internal storage not mounting, camera failures, and various storage-related functionalities not working properly.

Google’s response
In response to the concerns, Google acknowledged the issue and stated that they are aware of the issue and are currently investigating. The company assured users that they were working to find a solution to the reported problems.
Variability in impact

Generative AI features in Chrome

These features aim to improve the browsing experience by intelligently organizing tabs, allowing users to create custom themes with AI assistance, and providing help in writing content on the web. These features are part of an experimental version of the latest Chrome update.
Users can expect improvements to tab organization, custom themes, and assistance in creating content while browsing.
