Google Expands ‘device Health & Support’ Dashboard to Older pixel Phones
Google is bringing its extensive “Device health & support” dashboard – previously exclusive to the Pixel 10 series – to Pixel phones as far back as the pixel 6. The rollout began with the November 2025 Feature Drop and aims to provide users with a centralized location to monitor and manage their device’s well-being.
This update replaces the older “Tips & support” help page found in the Settings app, offering a more robust and informative experience. The dashboard consolidates key information about a pixel’s condition, empowering users to proactively address potential issues and optimize performance. The feature is particularly relevant as smartphones become increasingly integral to daily life, and maintaining device health directly impacts user experience and longevity.
The features available within the dashboard vary depending on the Pixel model, but generally include:
* Need help with your Pixel: A chatbot-style assistance tool.
* Looks good/issue detected: A quick status overview, displaying either a green checkmark (“Your Pixel is in great shape!”) or a yellow exclamation mark indicating pending updates.
* Battery health
* Device temperature
* Storage
* Software update
* Charging diagnostics
* Touch diagnostics
* Warranty information
* Tips & support (access to the previous help experience)
* Contact support
Currently, users of the Pixel 7 Pro who haven’t yet received the November update are seeing limited functionality, including only Device temperature, storage, and Software updates.
To ensure proper functionality,Google recommends verifying that Device Health Services and Settings Services are up-to-date. Users can find thes services within the Settings app under their Google account (name at the top) > All services > Privacy & security > System services.
