Pixel 6 it is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2021 even if we know that it will arrive in Italy next year. Thanks to him, Google has given some life to the smartphone market also thanks to the introduction of a completely new design of exclusive novelties. In this regard we know that Xiaomi will use some Pixel features phone in the future. But having said that, two features of Pixel 6 they are really top, although one is gone.
Pixel 6 gains breathing and heart rate tracking but loses Magic Eraser, the magic eraser everyone wants
Let's talk about the earned feature first. Google has released an update for a limited number of Pixel 6 series devices, which adds the heart rate and breathing monitoring Google Fit app. This feature, present on the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a since March, is currently being tested for the new series.
Since the Pixel 6 series does not have dedicated sensors to measure heart rate and respiration, this feature works using cameras. To check your heart rate, you need to place your finger on the rear camera and wait a few seconds while the app detects changes in the color of your finger. It will then perform some calculations which can be saved to your Google Fit account.
Why wasn't this feature integrated right away? Simple, due to the new smartphone design. This design poses a problem as in previous generations the feature functionality also used LED flash to provide more accurate readings in low light conditions. 9to5Google also noted that "this early access feature is not particularly optimized". It's too early to tell if heart rate breathing monitors will remain on the Pixel 6

The magic eraser, which is one of the main new features of Pixel 6, which allows you to delete an object or remove a person from a photograph. Feature that actually Xiaomi has been using it for some time now.
The information was shared in the community of Reddit (via Android Police) and claim that the version 5.67 of Google Photos has removed the "Magic Eraser" function of the app in Pixel 6, preventing users from using this automatic removal tool. Reports from some users who have not found the new version available for Photos on the Play Store suggest that this update is no longer available
Any interruption in the distribution of this version could indicate that Google is aware of a problem and is working to fix it. However, we do not know when they will release a new update to permanently fix this bug, nor if it is present in the professional variant.
