Overview
- Strings found in a Google system app reference a "Notify when left behind" capability for Pixel devices.
- The feature would alert a Pixel Watch when a paired phone is left behind and could also notify a phone if the watch is left.
- Code indicates the unattended device may automatically lock, including the Pixel Watch and potentially the phone when separated.
- Prerequisites noted in the strings include Bluetooth enabled on both devices, the watch being worn, and options to mute alerts at trusted locations.
- A "Not supported watch" message suggests model restrictions, and no rollout has been announced as reporters frame the work as bringing parity with Apple and Samsung wearables.
