Pixel’s Transit Mode is now automatic, and your daily commutes just got easier

TL;DR Google has announced Transit Mode 2.0 with the November Pixel Drop. It can now trigger automatically based on data from your phone’s sensors. It’s available on Pixel 6a and newer phones in all regions and languages. Google introduced Transit Mode on Pixel phones in April this year, and it’s been a handy addition for people who commute on public transport like trains and buses. However, it had one major flaw: you had to manually turn it on every time. If that bothered you as much as it did us, there’s some good news. Google has released the November Pixel Drop with custom icon styles, expanded HiLight support , and more. Among the plethora of updates is Transit Mode 2.0, which can now turn on automatically. Your Pixel phone can use data from its sensors to detect when you’re commuting and activate Transit Mode automatically. This finally brings the feature in line with Pixel’s Driving Mode and Bedtime Mode, which can already activate on their own.
