The January update for eligible Pixel models arrives with fixes for the Camera and UI\u060c<\/p>\n

\n
We recently highlighted that Google may have returned to its previous goal of releasing its monthly updates on the first Monday of each month. But this Monday was a holiday (New Year) and so Google waited until today to release the first update of the year for eligible Pixel handsets<\/a> which includes Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.<\/div>\n
Google says “the January 2024 update includes bug fixes and improvements for Pixel users.” The list includes an update to the camera app<\/a> on all eligible Pixel handsets, including the Pixel folding<\/span> which contains a fix to prevent the cameras on these Pixel devices from crashing under certain conditions.<\/div>\n

Today's update should fix an issue causing flashing black screens to appear when playing videos on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The remaining three fixes concern the user interface. One, for the Pixel 8<\/span> And Pixel 8 Pro<\/span>, will fix an issue that caused users to see a flashing black screen when playing a video<\/a> under certain conditions. A bug fix for Pixel Tablet<\/span> users will only be rid of an issue that prevented them from exiting SetupWizard under certain conditions. Lately, Pixel 8<\/span>, Pixel 8 Pro<\/span>And Pixel folding<\/span> Users received a patch to exterminate a bug that caused the home screen wallpaper to turn black under certain conditions.<\/p>\n

The update includes security patch levels 2024-01-01 and 2024-01-05. To install the update, Pixel users need to go to Settings<\/span> > System<\/span> > System update<\/span>.<\/div>\n
Released software versions include:<\/p>\n

After the next Pixel 14 update (expected Monday, February 5), we should see another huge Pixel feature drop (Android 14<\/span> QPR2) released in March, possibly March 4.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
