Google is testing a new Connectivity health menu for Pixel phones that could diagnose Wi-Fi, mobile data, and call problems from one place.
The feature is still hidden in unreleased code, and Google has not announced when or whether it will become publicly available. In its current form, only one of its three diagnostic tools appears to work from start to finish.
How Pixel Connectivity health would work
Android Authority uncovered the feature in Pixel Troubleshooting app version 1.0.962958926 and manually enabled it during testing. Connectivity health would appear under Settings > Network & internet, where users could open separate tools for mobile data, calls, and Wi-Fi.
Only Mobile data diagnostics completed the troubleshooting process in the tested build. It checked the phone’s data connection and speed before recommending that Private DNS be set to “off” or “automatic.” After the setting was changed, the tool returned a “Normal” status.
That result reflects what the phone itself can detect. It does not confirm that a carrier network, tower, or upstream connection is working normally.
Call diagnostics and Wi-Fi diagnostics opened their initial screens but did not provide working troubleshooting steps. The teardown also indicates that Connectivity health could produce a report listing settings changed during a diagnostic session.
Google already provides a narrower mobile connection troubleshooting process for calls and mobile data. Connectivity health appears to extend that approach by putting several connection checks under one menu.
Several details remain unconfirmed
Google has not disclosed a release date, supported Pixel models, or an Android version requirement. That distinction is important because unreleased APK code can change or disappear before a public release.
The Private DNS recommendation also raises an unanswered question for managed phones. The teardown does not establish whether Connectivity health recognizes administrator-controlled network settings before recommending changes, so there is not enough evidence yet to treat it as an enterprise troubleshooting tool.
Google has not explained where the feature’s diagnostic reports would be stored, what additional data they might contain, or whether device administrators could access them. The available reporting only indicates that the tool can summarize settings changed during troubleshooting.
Pixel owners already have Google’s existing troubleshooting options, while the company continues to address software problems affecting Pixel phones and refine Android 17 on supported Pixel devices.
Connectivity health could eventually give users a quicker way to determine whether a connection problem starts on the phone before contacting a carrier or IT support. For now, the working mobile-data diagnostic offers the clearest indication of what Google is building, while the Wi-Fi and call tools remain unfinished.
Google is also continuing QPR2 testing for Pixel devices, so Connectivity health may change further before Google decides whether to release it.
