9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- Google Clock 9.0 for Android introduces Live Update notifications for timers and stopwatches, available on Pixel devices running Android 16 or higher.
- These Live Updates appear as pill-shaped containers with a real-time count in the status bar, but prevent other notification icons from showing alongside them.
- Tapping the Live Update pill reveals a notification overlay with larger time counts and bigger control buttons for Pause/Lap and Pause/Add 1 min, displayed for five seconds.
- Live Updates are prioritized, always showing first in the notification shade, lockscreen, and always-on display.
- Users can revert to the previous notification style by disabling Live Updates in the Google Clock app settings.
