Circle to Search is still only a Pixel 8 Series feature for now, so it's worth updating the article accordingly.
Also no "Scanning for deceptive apps" on my Pixel 6 Pro so again could be a Pixel 8 Series feature for now or could be a regional rollout.
It might be good when publishing "What's new in..." to cross check on older devices as well, so as to not raise expectations that features will be available for everyone (Every Device) and every region.
Over the coming hours, we’ll dive into all of Android 14 QPR3 Beta 1’s new features and every single change. (The newest updates will be at the top of this list.
