Use Your Pixel's Camera to Quickly Estimate the Angle of a Slope
Jul 04, 2025 am 09:04 AMIt seems like every few months, another hidden feature is uncovered in the Pixel's Camera app. Thanks to machine learning and the device's high-quality camera, Google keeps adding subtle but useful functions that enhance your experience, even if they serve a specific purpose.
Did you know the Pixel's Camera app can measure the incline of a slope? To use this feature, make sure "Framing hints" is turned on in the camera settings. You can access this by tapping the downward arrow at the top of the viewfinder while in Camera mode, then selecting the gear icon.
Once activated, point your camera at a flat surface and keep it steady for a few seconds. A horizontal line will appear showing 0°. If the line doesn't show up, try slightly tilting your phone back and forth, as though you're adjusting for a level shot.
This feature is primarily meant to help you take straighter photos. But coincidentally, it also allows you to gauge the angle of a slope. Simply tilt your phone to align with the slope you want to measure (for example, align the center of the drop-down arrow on the left with the center of the shutter button on the right), and the displayed angle will update accordingly.
