Pixel wishlist 🗒️
Widget stacks — save space like iOS & Samsung
Dual camera — record front + back at the same time
Digital Wellbeing quick timers — 2m, 15m, 60m, cancel
Multiple users upgrade — backup/restore inside multiple users + add 2 more slots (kiosk, alt-private space)

Google Pixel ideas
some ideas google pixel could implement to increase user satisfaction
Widget stacks - let us stack widgets !
Camera - it would be nice in the camera if there was an option for dual camera / pip (picture in picture) mode where the camera / video could use *both* front *and* back cameras at the same time
digital wellbeing - simplified options for screen time
- 2 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 60 minutes
- cancel
Multiple users + backup and restore + private space - let us use backup and restore functionality inside of multiple users. bring private space to multiple users. Also let us create 2 extra users. Currently we can have 4 user slots. But some may run out because:
1. Default
2. Private Space
3. No tracking
4. Alt
Please add 2 more user slots -
5. kiosk
6. private space within alt

draft - Was just thinking of the related topics of digital wellbeing and multiple users drafting:
multiple users is good for privacy - but it could be improved by adding both digital wellbeing and AI to a top level menu
idea - The ability to *hide* / set time limits for a user space instead of just deleting it outright. This way, if we want to visually remove it, we could. A user space takes a long time to finalize.
And if it's for digital wellbeing, maybe add in a bit of AI chat to talk about even going to that user space. Something like "are you sure you want to go to this user space" and we could have a conversation for a minute or two on whether or not we really actually want to unlock the user space
Pixel supports multiple users and should add some of these options I think. If they don't, i would like to see more marketplace competition from Apple and Samsung to add multiple users but to enhance the capabilities with some of the digital well-being ideas above.
I made a concept / mockup for some options that Google could add to mix digital wellbeing and AI with the multiple users functionality and/or something that Apple / Samsung could do as well, when they implement multiple users.
Apple, Can we get multiple users please? Thank you
to expand on this request - Apple, thank you for adding "Require FaceID" functionality. I think the feature works well in a pinch if its something that doesn't need to be installed in its own space. that being said, I do think apple should take things further *while still keeping the basic "require FaceID" functionality and add a separate, more comprehensive setup for folks who want the extra data separation.
To expand on the topic a bit, some phones already have a feature called "multiple users". on a phone, however, its sort of a misnomer because the feature is meant more for "multiple personal spaces" for a *single user* to be able to add and setup a few separate spaces for app/data separation for *only them*. and that's fine, but I think apple could innovate in this area and take what pixel does, but take it further, using their software prowess to help users with screen time. Also, on pixel, while there is a toggle to enable sms text messages to work in all the different users, the feature sometimes feels like maybe it doesn't work properly. that's another area where maybe apple can innovate and fix.
also, within the last year, Google added the ability to setup private space when still logged in to the default user. it works great, but I think again, apple could take that functionality and go further. one thing that could be improved is accessibility of getting to the private space itself. currently you have to scroll all the way down your app drawer to get to it, but apple could innovate a bit and give users the option to enable a launcher icon for quick access to private space, if desired.
Also, all of this doesn't have to *replace* the "Require FaceID", which still works well in instances where getting into a whole other "space" isn't required. But again, would be a solution for those of us who want a more comprehensive solution.

draft - Google thank you for multiple users on pixel. It supports 4 slots, but 6 would be ideal, as well as the ability to setup private space when logged into an alt user
draft - can we get apple to enable multiple users on iOS? and also for Samsung to do the same for it's phones? Pixel Phones have this important security feature built in to the OS, and it works great, allowing users to have complete data separation if desired. Would like to see apple and samsung add this feature as well.
and regarding separating our own data, Thank you to google for not just multiple users (which on a phone can also be thought of as "multiple personal spaces"). They also added Private Space within the last year, which works great on Pixel. Only thing is, Private Space uses one of the "slots" for multiple users. And we only get 4. Considering that on a phone, multiple users is more about "multiple personal spaces", it would be nice if we could get two extra slots.
how I, and others may use the four multiple user slots, and why we need two more slots
slot 1 is default space
slot 2 - similar to default but with fewer "tracking apps" when we need a break without having to uninstall a bunch of apps
slot 3 - a "kiosk" mode of sorts.
slot 4 - private space. it uses one of the slots
now, I'd like to see them add the ability to set up private space, not just within the default user space, but in a second user as well. part of the reason I initially used multiple users was that i'd have my alt Google account in a separate user and avoid logging into my default Google account while logged in to the alt space as a way to keep data separate. and while that works, one thing that's missing from an "alt" space, is the ability to securely and separately sign in to our default profile just like we can from the default space, where we can use private space

"Fitbit will delete data if you don’t migrate to Google Account by 2026"
draft - Can they keep an email and password login option? An issue with strictly Google account SSO is that it doesn't play nicely with a multiple users setup. For example, some folks, me included, have a default user logged into their "default" Google account. But then we also have an alt user where we login to our alt Google account. The idea being data segregation, especially for things like Google photos which could potentially risk cross account data contamination. Anyways, while it's fine to login with Google when in the default space, when we login to our alt user space, the whole idea is to not be logged into our "default" Google account while logged into our "alt" user space. They have sort of solved the issue a bit with private space. It works great in the default user, so when we're in the default user, we can unlock private space and access our alt Google account without having to log out of the default space. Can they please bring private space to more than just the default user? Then, when logged into a second user, we could unlock private space and have that be logged into the default user, without having to worry about cross-account data contamination. We could then also use Fitbit. Another kinda maybe simpler option is that Fitbit could also add support for login with Microsoft, since, microsoft is a non-google entity, you don't have to worry about all the Google apps syncing data. Another option would be to just keep email and password login. The same thing goes for the nest app, Google chat, Gemini, and any other apps and services which only support login with google. Thank you.

draft - sms+multiple users, private space+ multiple users
if we're talking about Google messages, can I ask them to make it support multiple users better? What I mean is that on pixel, using multiple users, the texts don't always "sync up" properly between users. Like if I send an sms when logged into user 2, sometimes when I switch to the default user, I don't see the sent sms there. By nature I have a default user+ alt user space kinda setup. Because of the issues with sms, and because I also have a multiple device setup, I have began trying to rely on something like MS teams chat, and to some extent Google chat. Since these are server based, there's no issue with syncing. With private space, I can login to my alt Google account without having to log out of my default account but still keep it separated from the default system. However one thing lacking is private space is not available in multiple users. It's only available to setup in the default user. Google, could we get private space for multiple users? Or at least one more user. Thank you.

Google should let people who use the multiple users feature add private space as well.
