Introducing plenty of Gemini updates, Expressive Captions on Pixel, new Pixel Screenshots features and updates to make your devices work better together.
How about app-based volume control? Is that an option yet? I just want to be able to listen to music and have the driving directions on at the same time without hearing “TURN LEFT IN A QUARTER MILE MOTHERFUCKER!” at some obnoxious volume. Keep your ai bullshit and fix that first.
TIL thanks. That’s still a shitty workaround, first because it takes three menus inside of settings, something I’d rather not adjust while driving. And that’s just the one app. I appreciate the tip, but my gripe with Google remains unabated.
But I want the directions, I just don’t want them louder than the music. It’s a basic feature for all Android devices, and the Google Pixel is the only phone that has this defect.

You can change the volume of maps voice fyi.
Really? How?
In Google Maps: Settings -> Navigation -> Guidance volume

Its annoyingly in sub menus but that seems to be because it’s for your whole account
When I set mine lower it applied across all 3 devices I used maps on
So the idea is probably most people like it at a setting once they find it, so save it and apply moving forward, not to be adjusted during the drive
The option for per-app is still great for other uses though for sure
Considering all other android devices can do it, it really makes Google seem deficient.
There’s a bell icon on the main page or in the main menu you can click it to ! Meaning alerts only so only like slowdowns or reroutes are communicated
