Google is all about AI nowadays, and the company's latest flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, are a testimony to this with some very useful AI-powered features. One of them is a feature that detects languages for voice typing, which is especially useful for multilingual users.

Now it seems this feature will be coming to the Pixel 7 as well, reports Android Police.

This info comes from a recently updated Google support page. It indicates that the functionality is 'coming soon' to the Pixel 7 series, which is Google's flagship line from 2022.

The feature works by using Google Assistant for voice typing in Gboard. The Pixel 7 already has quite the advancements for multilingual users and voice typing and added a few languages to the support languages.
