New findings reveal that, months after launch, Google might be expanding on the Pixel 10’s Magic Cue feature by adding support for information from Tasks and Wallet.
Magic Cue on the Pixel 10 was a promising AI feature at launch that, sadly, only seems to work moderately well in reality. The idea here is that the feature can pull information from your various apps and present it when you need it, automatically. Google’s examples include showing flight information when you’re on the phone with customer service, or showing a restaurant reservation while chatting with friends. But, most of the time, it only surfaces the occasional suggestion in Gboard, if it appears at all.
Nearly 70% of 9to5Google readers said that Magic Cue “hardly appears” on their Pixel 10, though Google has announced some improvements.
Now, it seems Google also wants to expand the data Magic Cue can pull from.
Android Authority, citing Android developer Kieron Quinn, posted a screenshot showing Google Wallet and Google Tasks in the list of supported apps in Magic Cue on the Pixel 10. That’s in addition to the currently-supported apps – Pixel Screenshots, Gmail, Messages, Keep Notes, Contacts, and Calendar – that have been available since the Pixel 10 launched last year.
These new options are not actively rolling out, and instead were manually enabled, but the fact that that’s possible shows Google is preparing support behind the scenes.
What might this be used for? It’s hard to say anything for certain, but there’s a lot of potential, especially for Wallet, as the app can store your travel tickets and present information about flights and more.
