Google’s latest flagships, the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are now getting a new update that brings with it support for heart rate tracking and respiratory tracking features, tools that are exclusive to Pixel series smartphones as of now.

Google Pixel 6’s Latest Update Brings Heart Rate Tracking, Respiratory Tracking Features
A few of the Google Pixel 6 owners have not gotten this feature as of the time of writing this article, but by and large, this feature seems to be rolling out to both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro units across the world.
This feature could be in early access, so beware of any oddity in the results, since Google might be working on fixing the same, so try not to panic in case of any off the charts reading.
If you wish to try it out, you can do so via the Google Fit application, but you will need to update the app on your Pixel 6 series smartphone to get this feature to work.
Google has mentioned that this feature will come to other Android handsets, but we do not know as to when we can expect to see these useful features on non-Pixel handsets. Users owning the Pixel 3 or 3XL and smartphones launched after can also gain access to these features.
