Users of Google Pixel were eagerly anticipating the June update, which was released on June 11th for unlocked devices and brought exciting new features and important bug fixes. This update was significant, not only bringing enhancements but also marking a Pixel Feature Drop, which includes updates that often come through individual app updates and sometimes require a system update to fully take effect. However, not everyone has had a smooth experience with the rollout.
While most users received the update promptly, many, especially those on T-Mobile, Verizon, and Google Fi, are still waiting for it.
Reports from various sources indicate that the delay is affecting both Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 users, causing frustration and anticipation in the Pixel community.
To stay informed about the latest updates, it is advisable to monitor official sources, community forums, and this site.
Despite the wait for some users, the June Pixel update offers a range of improvements and enhancements that will undoubtedly be welcomed by Pixel users once the update is widely available.
Google has released a global version of the update that should be compatible with all Pixel devices, but there is speculation that carrier-specific versions may be released in the future. For now, users on T-Mobile, Verizon, and Google Fi will need to be patient.
The delay is not due to any issues with their devices but rather the carriers taking their time with the rollout.
Furthermore, Verizon’s support pages have not been updated to show the availability of the June update, suggesting that the carrier may be holding back the release for its customers. Some users have turned to alternative solutions due to this delay.
For those unable to wait for the automatic rollout, manually installing the June build using ADB commands on a PC is an option. However, this workaround does require some technical knowledge, even though it provides early access to the update.
