While the quick tap feature is neat, it does not work consistently for me on my Pixel 8 Pro. I've set it to take screenshots when I tap but, if I'm on a call for example it doesn't work. I'm guessing this is something that can get ironed out in future updates though. I'm aware older Pixel models have gotten much better after a couple of updates so I'm excited for the future!

[@heythisaintebay]

Same here. I hardly use it because of this

[@gugugaga42069]

find the pixel 8 pro too big so my taps are not consistent. The pixel 8 gets its right at all times

[@andyvaldez4334]

Tap about an inch under the camera bar

[@Droogs]

At first I thought the quick tap might be kind of cool, but I discovered on my Pixel 8 Pro that it can be activated sometimes with one tap. That led to accidental activations, so I no longer use it.

[@polybius99]

Same situation with the pixel 8. For me the problem was the case, remove the case and the feature works well. Honestly I prefer a functional device rather than a double tap feature but never mind

[@ariansmovies]

Thanks for the great video. I did not know about the double tap feature on my Pixel phone.

[@Riz_]

Really nice video Jordan. I really liked that tip about that USB A to C dongle. I use it to transfer files from my Pixel 8 Pro onto a pen drive.

[@alanmw58]

Would love to see a Pixel 8/8 Pro specific video

[@JeskidoYT]

5:45 i would never have thought of someone playing Minecraft with mouse and keyboard on a phone 😂

[@jordanintheknow]

😂 it did feel really good to play just saying!

[@LuigizToaster]

I completely forgot about the Gboard customization feature! I immediately went in and changed it. On a similar note to this video, I've spent a lot of time with my 6 pro trying to optimize battery consumption, it would be cool to have a tips video on battery, connectivity, etc...

[@jordanintheknow]

Great idea, battery tips would help the pixel community a lot. Ill look into it thank you! =)

[@Droogs]

Yeah, as I delved into all the settings, I realized there are many ways to optimize the battery performance. So many different ways I'm sure some users are not aware of all of them.

[@dannynoordam286]

Very nice video!! Thanks 😊. I'd like to see a pixel 8 unknown features video!!

[@joshmercer4456]

Where do you get your wallpapers from at the 0:50 mark? They look great!

[@djs4329]

Awesome!

[@stefangreiner6762]

May I ask where you got the wallpaper at 1:26? Thank you!

[@Azeazezar]

Was that a ph-1 i spotted? I loved that thing.

[@jordanintheknow]

My favorite phone

[@georgesudler8336]

This was very helpful, I just bought my first pixel Thursday and I've been trying to learn the different tips and tricks to it. I love the phone and believe I have become a true pixel fan. I don't think I'd ever go back to apple

[@TheF50i]

I wholeheartedly feel that, pixels offer the best android experience ❤

[@ariansmovies]

The best non-cluttered android experience in my book.

[@stangurule1017]

@ 5:14 is that an essential phone you're plugging it into?

[@arungupta9140]

5:42 this is actually sick

[@abrealgaming5649]

Didnt know you could add text to the lock screen. Just used it to earn some brownie points with the wife. Thanks Jordo!!

[@bad65dad]

Nice love on my Pixel Fold

[@nicolasbarritta1386]

Hopefully this 2024 a feature drop will arrive that allows you to prevent access to the settings when the Pixel is locked 🙃🙃🙃😤

[@VWbobby94]

Would be interested in pixel 8 tricks vid!

[@sarkhelmanish]

Cool❤

[@joeyngo6909]

As a music lover my favorite is now playing widget

[@TackyXD_]

[@The_Native]

6:50 What a G, he watched iKnowReview ❤

[@jordanintheknow]

My favorite tech creator. Love his content ❤

[@terrynt]

hey, what's that brown / leather cover? it looks a sticker, i guess?

[@user-ti8zv1zg7t]

I have a Pixel7 while the quick tap feature is very cool but consistency is the problem. It doesn't work every time with my device.

[@yashpalekar1357]

Same with my pixel 7

[@trumpmypresident4721]

Any changes for the " Pixel Pro 8 " ?

[@trumpmypresident4721]

Any changes for the Pixel Pro 8 ?

[@leonhre]

iKnowReview 😍

[@richardnunziata3221]

Would like an integrated feature to remote control a laptop remotely from anywhere .

[@Max86421]

Pixel work well with Matter smart devices 💡🔌

[@srinivasvarre8764]

I think you missed pixel rules feature !

[@Herbert-xj8jx]

Aaand the now playing doesn't even require an Internet connection!

[@khaleequrrahman]

where i still using 4a 5g with latest android 14

[@shanereeves3600]

I'm on a 4a right now as well.. I have a 6pro coming

[@veiddetsch947]

I am from germany and i also like iknowreview

[@lewisweeks8867]

Sooo is it worth trading in an iPhone 14 Pro for a Pixel 8? Regret swapping to Apple last year.

[@TackyXD_]

yeah i’d say so

[@TackyXD_]

the only downside i feel like is battery in pixel

[@lewisweeks8867]

@@TackyXD_ see if I can find a good deal now 👍 thanks. My iPhone is down to 86% battery capacity already. The Pixel must be better than that.

[@SAG3__]

I'm using stock the battery is okay but not great. I'm switching to graphene now.

[@Oskar-up7zb]

There ist iKnowReview in the Video

[@deadbluesky]

When i had my Pixel 6 i took the best macro shot by using the portrait mode with the rear camera, im just saying for those who still have the Pixel 6 series.

[@vveso]

Just don't update the play store...

[@revenantwolzart]

Just wanna say my Pixel 7 has sucked balls with its buggy bluetooth. bugger won't turn on indefinetly once offed,Pathetic!
