Use the search box at the top of the settings. Put "Now" and it's the first one there.

That's strange. I see it under both sound, advanced and security and location, lock screen preferences. You have a Pixel 2 XL right? LOL. Cause I see you put only "Pixel XL". Just really weird you can't even find it in the settings search.

The fix
Hey,just figured it out.
Go to Google play store in your pixel 2 or pixel 2 xl and update the Google ambient services app.
Once you're done, go to setting,sound ,advanced options. You'll find the option there.

One thing about this I have noticed. It is pretty cool. But, once it has identified a song on your lock screen, it will not try to recognize another until you clear the previous notification. Haven't done extensive testing but this seems to be the case.

Nope. Works fine for me. In the car, it detects a song and shows it. When next song comes up it displays the new song.

Correct. Let's say a movie is playing with a lot of sounds in the soundtrack, it gets it all. The Now Playing History app comes in handy with that.

Hello,
Just a request, because I'm sure Google will disable it sooner or later anyway. Is there any developer out there or anyone for that matter that would know a way to enable access to the SRGB screen setting or have an ADB command to enter that would disable it? Please let me know if it's possible and as always thank you in advance

The only option for color changing is this:
I'm pretty sure sRGB is a secure setting, so it can't be changed via adb or any non-root method.

On the Pixel 2 XL? Sure isn't the case on my stock Pixel XL (I stopped rooting once I got the Nexus 6P). The mode to toggle sRGB is right there in the developer settings under "Running Services" on the XL but completely missing in the 2 XL.
Considering how much people are whining about it, they'll obviously release some sort of update to allow people to disable it.
what the hell is wrong with you people
nothing is wrong with the display
i went in a verizon store today and checked out the XL and I dont see why theres such a fake outrage

It's not that something is really "wrong" with the display. It's that Google for whatever unknown reason decided to tune a high end POLED display to sRGB mode which tends to wash out colors.
Coming from a Note 8, the display is noticeably less sharp. Colors are off from a more saturated Samsung panel. Yellows look dark and angled viewing has blue tints.
It's not bad, it's just different, and a lot of people are noticing it. Many from Android media outlets. Apparently Google has acknowledged the display issues and is going to modify it.

Installed the app and ran it, it only shows a list for itself and Nova. Long press on itself create shortcut doesn't do anything. Settings, home app doesn't show activity launcher. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's not compatible with Oreo as the last update was 2015.

Yeah you have to switch to all activities from the top pulldown
On 2nd thought, mine crashed on my N6p on Oreo so it may not be compatible. Try installing Nova Launcher. It comes with activity launcher. I believe you just press and hold somewhere on screen and choose activities.

Tap activity at the top and scroll to settings. Open it up and start searching. You can launch the activity by hitting the play button. Some of them may crash but some lead to hidden menus that are not otherwise accessible through normal settings. Like Bandmode (be carefull) or phone info.

You didn't say how you typically update every month, but I would now re-flash the full image (removing -w from the script). You'll lose TWRP and root if you have those, but if these files are on your phone before you start (TWRP, kernel, magisk) it only takes 5 minutes even taking your time. To speed things up be sure to catch the reboot at the end of the image flash, holding down the vol-dn button. That will take you back to fastboot mode instead of waiting for it to boot up and then having to reboot. Flash or boot to TWRP and then queue up kernel and magisk, then let her rip.

Removed myself from the beta, and updated to stable. So far so good. Going to try a few more things to make sure that was it.
While I'm here. I'm still having lockscreen swipe unlock issues. STILL takes 50 tries.
I have the feeling that rooting is part of the problem.
I do remember someone found an "anti-falsing" setting in SystemUI, but that required more work than it should.
Did Google really NOT fix this basic issue yet?
I'm having the same issue, text doesn't show in dark background but shows with a white background.
I'm also part of the beta but I would rather not deactivate it, any other solution? I like my dark background ?

Can confirm the the Google beta update yesterday did fix the issue on the Pixel 2 XL.
I have a pixel 2 for work and a pixel 2XL for personal use. They are both using the same version of Google's Messages. However, my pixel 2 has the new camera icon next to the + symbol where you would write your text. My pixel 2xl still only has the + symbol next to where you text. Anyone know if it is a setting I need to change or if one phone got a update pushed on Google's side? Picture shows what I am talking about circled in red.

I connected to pixel support through settings and the technician had me screen share and went through a lot of things like checking in safe mode, Android build version, app settings and other things. He was not sure why my messages app is not updated properly. He ended up having me send a feedback report and said they would be looking into it.
Well time will tell .
I had it on my stock pixel 2 XL then I lost it when I flashed a rom. When I flashed back a month later to stock I got it back. I tried everything I could think of while I was running a custom rom to get it back with no luck.

I have the camera icon now after a clean flash on stock. Every other month (depending on features, patches, etc.) I make it a priority to do a complete wipe of the device. It's tedious and some may see it as redundant, but in my experience since the days of the G1, it keeps everything running smooth.

By "scrolling", is that just like a long screenshot? I would love that sort of native functionality, I've always had to use an app for it...I'm currently on one from the play store called Screen Master...

Yeah, I think that's what the OP is referring to.
Samsung's (at least the Note series, not positive on others) had it built in, where if you take a screenshot there would be a button that says like "scroll down" or something, and it would scroll a page length down, and you could keep doing it. The result being a long image.
Screen Master seems like a nice app for it.
Wish it was just built into the screenshot capture though
