Google adds audio recording and diary export to ZIP archive in Pixel Journal
The Pixel Journal app has gained the ability to add voice recordings and export diary content along with images.
Google has begun rolling out a major update for the Pixel Journal app, designed for keeping a digital diary. Version 2026.10.27.x has received several new features, including audio recording and the export of user entries.
Users can now record audio directly in the app via the add-item menu in the diary. This feature complements existing options for adding photos, videos, activity data from Health Connect, and location information. Voice recordings can also be transcribed into text.
However, the audio feature is not yet available to all users: it also requires an update to the Pixel Recorder app, which had not yet appeared in Google Play at the time of publication.
Another new addition is the ability to export the entire diary as a ZIP archive. This will include all entries and images, with text content saved in HTML format.
The Pixel Journal update is being rolled out gradually via Google Play.
