Your Google Pixel Phone’s February Update Arrived

Must read

February is here already and that means a new Google Pixel update wants to download and install on your device. For this latest patch, we are expecting some bug fixes and security improvements without much else as we wait for the March quarterly update to drop with all sorts of new goodies.

This new update for Google’s Pixel line-up will begin hitting devices starting today and could then take a week to finish rollout depending on carrier and device.

As for which devices are receiving the February Pixel update, it should be like the past several updates. The full list includes the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet. The newest members of the family, the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold are all included as well. Will the Pixel 9a be joining the list soon? Maybe.
