With Pixel’s new “Add Me” feature, you can get the whole group in your photos. Merge 2 photos with the power of AI and augmented reality. Available on Pixel 9 devices.
I don’t get one anymore. I used to, but I no longer get the prompt on whether I want to allow data transfer via USB. And naturally when trying to remediate this issue via a Google search, I get the usual bullshit and ads. My best bet seems to be downloading an app, as people here are suggesting. The Pixel really takes all the good aspects of an Android phone and slowly patches it away.
Edit: so after searching and many attempt on and off, I was finally able to find the option. But it doesn’t pop up on its own anymore.
I searched my apps/files for USB. Last few times it didn’t work, cause in most tabs on the phone is would try to route me to google fill-ins. I don’t know what GrapheneOS is. I’m too much of a gremlin to learn most software stuff.
To put it extremely succinctly, it is a modified version of Android that makes your Pixel more secure. If you’re at all interested in digital privacy and security, even from Google, I really recommend it if you already use a Pixel. Graphene is only available for Pixels so the hard part is done.
I’m not terrible with tech but I’m very, very far from being a techie and it was very easy for me to install and it’s been very easy to use. It’s basically, visually, no different from Android. Internally can be much safer.
If you want to hear and see a little bit of it in comparison to Android, you can watch this short video.
If you want to install it, you can follow this really easy video installation guide (sorry, not sure which Pixel you have but it’s pretty much always the same) and this is the official site.
You definitely will get the USB notification pop-up on Graphene.
Have you checked the notification prompt on the phone itself?
It lets you decide whether to charge or transfer files.

Oh, I’m glad you were able to find it!
What was the solution, out of curiosity? Do you use GrapheneOS?

Thanks! I’ll try and give this an earnest look at some point. Kind of a disaster at the moment.
