Following the last update in August, Google is rolling out a sizable update to Pixel Journal that adds Recorder audio entries and file exports.
From the “Add item” plus menu in entries, you’ll see “Record new audio” join the existing Take photo/video, Add photo, Health Connect activity, and location & map options.
At the moment, this audio integration is not live as Pixel Recorder also requires an update that we’re not seeing in the Play Store yet.
Being able to add a “voice entry with audio” is a pretty common feature for journaling apps. A transcription capability looks to be available for Google’s implementation.
Meanwhile, in Pixel Journal settings, there’s a new “Export your journal” option. This creates a ZIP file of all your entries, including images. Text is exported as HTML files.
Version 2026.10.27.x of Pixel Journal is still rolling out
