Google is testing an experimental "Device Help" feature in Gemini that lets Pixel users describe a problem in natural language instead of searching through Settings. Gemini can inspect relevant device settings before suggesting a fix, such as identifying Night Light when a user reports that their screen looks too yellow. The feature was spotted on a Pixel 9 running Android 17 and could mark a major step toward making Gemini a built-in troubleshooting assistant for Pixel devices. A Telegram user, @Brokenthrone, shared screenshots and a video with Android Authority contributor Assembledebug showing the new feature inside the Gemini app. The feature carries a "Labs" badge, indicating that it's still experimental, and uses the same icon Google introduced for Magic Cue on the Pixel 10 series. In one example, the prompt "My screen is too yellow" triggers Gemini to inspect the phone's display settings through Google's Utilities extension. It then identifies Night Light as the likely cause and recommends turning it off to restore normal display colors. The feature could be useful for many everyday problems, such as a dim phone or a feature not working as expected. Since the feature is marked as Labs, it's likely still under active development, and there's no indication yet of when it will roll out more broadly.
