Pixel phones receive overdue Google Play System update،
About three months after the last Google Play system update for Pixel phones in November 2023, Google is now bringing the January Play system update to a wide range of Pixel phones (via 9to5Google).
Some users received the January update last month, but Google appears to have removed it from circulation as it is likely the cause of the recent Pixel storage bug. The issue has since been resolved, allowing Google to make the update fully available. Additionally, the company provided a fix for those affected by the bug.
The latest update includes:
- User experience improvements.
- Bug fixes for account management services.
- Support for Maps-related processes in your apps.
- Updates to wallet authentication settings, now allowing you to choose to authenticate transactions before making contactless payments.
Google system updates make your Android devices safer and more reliable while adding useful new features. They include updates from Google to the Android operating system, Google Play Store and Google Play Services. The update is rolling out now, so if you own a Pixel phone, you can check if it's available for you. By default, Google System Services automatically updates your device with security patches, bug fixes, and new features. Depending on your country, you can adjust your automatic update preferences on your device. Simply go to Settings, tap Google, then select More, followed by System Services Updates.
Recently, the tech giant rolled out its latest February Pixel Android 14 update, including both functional improvements and security fixes. Pixel devices eligible for this update range from Pixel 5a (5G) to Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.
Additionally, the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 are also gradually receiving the February security update. If you have one of these devices, you will receive a notification on your watch once the Over-The-Air (OTA) update is available for your specific device.
