en.Wedoany.com Reported - Google is developing a feature called "Audio Memory" for Pixel phones, which can analyze sounds around the user around the clock in the background. Tech website 9to5Google discovered clues about this feature while analyzing the code of the latest version of Android System Intelligence for the Pixel 10.

According to the code strings, the feature will track all sounds the user hears throughout the day, ranging from ambient music to important conversations. "Audio Memory" works similarly to AI note-taking apps and wearable recording devices, capturing surrounding sounds, converting speech to text, and generating brief summaries. Google internally codenamed this feature "blueflax."

It is currently unclear whether "Audio Memory" runs continuously or is only activated in specific scenarios, such as during calls. The discovered code strings suggest it will perform ongoing background audio capture, but the final version may be more restricted. Researchers noted that Google is particularly focused on privacy concerns, speculating that data processing will be done locally on the device. The launch timeline and the platform version supporting this feature have not yet been specified.
