After successful beta testing, Google has finally introduced the Pixel Repair Mode feature for Pixel smartphones. This feature aims to enhance user data privacy during the repair process. Alongside this addition, the company has announced a few new updates to streamline the Pixel repair experience. 

Google’s new Pixel Repair Mode is now available on Pixel devices running Android 14. And, to use this feature, your phone must have at least 2GB of available storage. You can activate the Repair Mode on your Pixel phone by going to Settings > System > Repair mode.

Activating repair mode creates a secure environment on your phone, locking away all your data like messages, photos, calls, and more. Repair technicians can still test all the phone’s features in a separate space without peeking at your private info.

Google has also released a new diagnostic app that users may access from their Phone dialer. Google claims that the new diagnostic feature will assist you in understanding the problems with your phone before you send it in for repair. To use the diagnostic on your Pixel phone, type #*#7287#*# on the Phone dialer’s keypad.

Furthermore, whether you’re under warranty or not, Google wants repairs to be simple. Google has previously worked with iFixit, which provides consumers with legitimate parts and repair guides so that they may fix their devices themselves through their self-service program.

They’ve now also teamed with uBreakiFix to provide speedy fixes at over 700 sites around the United States, with most repairs finished in 2-4 hours. With this, Google claims that over 80% of Pixel device owners are within 10-20 miles of an authorized repair center.
