Snapchat to be the only third party app support using Pixel 6's wide angle selfie camera, also add exclusive features
Android devices haven't been treated well when it come to third party camera support. Seems like the new Pixel 6 will be an exception, getting dedicated Snapchat camera support.
Google has announced “Quick Tap to Snap” feature which is arriving later this year. It will be part of the Android 12’s “Quick Tap” feature. It allows you to instantly launch the Snapchat camera and skip the lockscreen on your device, as a result, Snapchat claiming the Pixel 6 will be “the fastest phone to make a snap.”
Besides, Google on Twitter posted that Snapchat will have exclusive lenses and “other exclusive features” on the new Pixel 6, possibly involving Live Translate. Snapchat for now, will also be the only third-party app that can take advantage of the full field-of-view on the Pixel 6 selfie camera.
Support for all these features should be live on version 11,49 and higher, (9To5Google)

Pixel 6 Magic Eraser sample surfaced, but doesn't work as good as expected
UPDATE: There another sample of Magic Eraser in action, and it looking quite good.
One cool Photos editor tool on the Pixel 6 is the Magic Eraser, which can remove objects from your photos magically without a trace. There limitation on everything though, so does Magic Eraser which can face issues if it is a complex picture, and here is an example.
So Kate Bevan on Twitter posted images of her attempting to remove two cars behind the shot, and Google AI is just having hard time on figuring what to do with the part of the image. Remember that it is a complex picture which is quite challenging. Magic Eraser will still perform good if you are removing small objects like people and signpost.
She also tried to add some blur to the photo, and the results are quite mixed. The subject’s back that the processing hasn’t figured out the outline and applied the blur to the whole right parts of the background. (Android Police)

Google confirmed they won't launch Pixel 6 in India, and here why
Since Google Pixel 4, Google haven't released their flagships to the India market yet. And it seems like Google confirmed they won't officially launch the new Pixel 6 to India too.
According to a statement sent to Gadgets360, Google won't plan any release for the Pixel 6 in the country. Here the full statement: “Due to a variety of factors including global demand supply issues." Also India phone market share are known for low volume of flagship segment, and Google didn't see any success in the Indian smartphone in the past, due to the premium pricing of Pixel phones most likely.
The news doesn't come as surprise, as earlier we just mention since the Pixel 4, Google haven't released their flagship devices to the country. Pixel 4a is the latest Pixel that is available for sale.
Pixel 4 didn't manage to get to India due to Soli not meeting the guidelines for use in the country. Meanwhile Pixel 4a 5G & 5 are not launch there due to non-availability of 5G networks. The Pixel 5a is only available for US & Japan due to chip shortage, but there possibility of getting expand to other markets.
Anyway hope Google can restore Pixel sales in India as soon as possible, starting with the Pixel 6a. (Android Central)
