Google is returning the Live Caption toggle to a more accessible location on Pixel phones, directly under the volume slider. This change aims to simplify access to the feature. Previously, users had to navigate through multiple menus to enable Live Caption, a process criticized for being too complex. The return of the toggle will reduce the number of steps required to activate this accessibility tool. The updated placement has appeared in the Android Canary build, indicating it will likely be included in a future stable release of Android. This move addresses user feedback regarding the feature's usability.
