Google Announces Change in Update Schedule for Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 Users

The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 are no longer receiving monthly updates, according to Droid Life. Google has decided to shift to a quarterly update schedule for these devices, meaning users may experience longer gaps between updates. While Google will continue to support the devices with security fixes and the latest OS version, the frequency of updates will be reduced.

Impacted Devices and Update Schedule

Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have already experienced delays in receiving updates, with some months missing updates altogether. Similarly, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are now also facing a delay in the latest updates. Google aims to ensure that all supported devices receive necessary security patches and feature updates throughout their support timeline.

User Response and Future Expectations

As a Pixel 6 or Pixel 7 user, the change in update schedule may come as a disappointment. However, Google has clarified that the devices will still be supported for five years, even though the pace of updates may vary. While some users may consider switching devices due to the new update schedule, it's important to note that Google is committed to keeping the devices secure and improving them over time.
