As per a new update, received via @MishaalRahman, the Android Settings app is now reported to start displaying the Google account name and profile picture of the respective user instead of just simply mentioning ‘Google’. The information concerning the Google account name and profile picture are taken from the Google Play Services app, and thus, this update is believed to be a server side update.

The same source also reports that this change has so far appeared for Pixel users who have their devices running on the Android 15 QPR2 Beta or Android 16 DP1 operating system versions.
Speaking of other recent Google updates, reports have arrived suggesting that Google has cancelled its 2nd Gen Pixel Tablet development, however, its tablet ambitions haven’t been completely abandoned and we may be seeing the rumored Tensor G6-powered tablet device launch in 2027. The Department of Justice, United States of America, has also proposed the ‘Chrome break-up plan‘ and Google has responded to it as ‘Unprecedented Overreach‘. We also saw how Russia fined Google a sum of USD 2.5 decibillion for ban on Russian YouTube channels. Google also rolled out the November update to its Pixel devices, as well as certain feature upgrades on Maps this month. The brand is also testing coupon code display on Google Search results too.
