Monthly Pixel update fixes a major issue impacting Pixel 6 series users
Before today, Pixel 6 series users complained that their phones were heating up and the battery draining rapidly
This is the first update for Android 13 and it includes a fix for a major issue that has been affecting many Pixel 6 series users. Since the release of Android 13, there have been several complaints about the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro heating up leading to a massive battery drain. Again, we mentioned this issue last night and yours truly has had his Pixel 6 Pro heat up like an oven while the battery drained like a sieve.
Under the category of Biometrics, Google continues to try and improve the under-display fingerprint sensor for the Pixel 6a. Despite the previous update, users of the mid-range Pixel continued to complain that unregistered friends, family, and random strangers were able to unlock their phones with the fingerprint scanner.
All supported Pixel models which range from the Pixel 4 series to the Pixel 6a received a fix to exterminate a bug that prevented certain Bluetooth devices from connecting to the aforementioned Pixel devices. And the last fix, under the category of User Interface, is also for all supported Pixels from the Pixel 4 series to the Pixel 6a. This fix exterminated a bug that caused notifications “to appear truncated on the lock screen.”
How to install the monthly Pixel update
So there you have it, Pixel bros, Google heard your prayers and delivered exactly what the doctor ordered. Hopefully. There is one caveat and while it affects a Pixel 6 model, it is not the 6 or 6 Pro that is seeing its monthly update delayed. Hey, why should owners of the two high-end models have all of the fun of experiencing a delay? This time it will be the mid-range Pixel 6a that will have to wait to receive the update which Google says will arrive for that model later this month.
