- What it is
- An October 2023 report that Pixel 8 phones gained multilingual voice typing, which detects the language you speak, and that the feature would come to Pixel 7 soon. It notes that manual language switching still works.
- How much weight it carries
- A news report that quotes Google's support page at the time. It is dated October 2023, so the list of supported Pixel models may have changed, and it does not list the supported languages or say whether the feature runs on the device.
