In July 2023, we reported that Google Pixel phones and the newly released Pixel Tablet received an Android security update. The update was primarily focused on bug fixes and security enhancements. After the update’s release, new reports regarding the Pixel tablet have emerged online, one of which is that the tablet received updated Stylus handwriting support.
In a recent post by Mishaal Rahman, it was mentioned that the Pixel Tablet supports the USI 2.0 stylus. Once you connect a USI 2.0 stylus pen to the tablet, you will be able to see two new options, “Default Notes App” and “Write in Text Field.” The details about the options are provided below:
Writing in Text Field
Once you click on the writing-in-text field option, your freehand writing will be converted to text inside the device, which can later be edited or deleted.
Try out your styles (Gboard’s new stylus)
You can click on “try it” to open a box where you can test Gboard’s new stylus handwriting gestures. These include gestures for writing with the stylus, deleting, selecting, inserting, putting words together, and making new lines.
One thing to note is that some of these features are not working at the moment, including Gboard’s new stylus. It may be because the device is missing the compatible Android version. As we all are aware, it was recently reported that Android 14 comes with improvements in keyboard and stylus integration.
We will have to wait and see if these features will be included in the upcoming update for the Google Pixel Tablet.
