GPS fix rolling out to Pixel 6 phones, August security patch coming in coming weeks

While many expected a new security update for their Pixel 6 devices, it appears that it has been put on hold for the time being. Instead, Pixel 6 owners will get a different update starting this week, focusing on fixing potential GPS issues with the Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, and Pixel 6a.

The Google team has announced that a new update will be rolling out to all Pixel 6 devices starting today. The update is arriving in phases for all three devices, so if you don’t get it now, don’t worry, it should arrive in the coming weeks. According to the post, the new update addresses a GPS issue, where phones can experience “GPS location failure under certain conditions.” Although the terms were not disclosed, this should be a very welcome update.

The update will start over the air (OTA) and when you get it it will depend on your wireless carrier. In a small note on the support website, Google also addressed the delay of the August 2022 Android security update. He did not explain the reason for the delay in the delivery of the update but said the update will come in the next few weeks. So be on the lookout for both updates.

While the Google Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6 have been out for a while, the latest addition to the lineup, the Google Pixel 6a, recently hit retail shelves. While the mid-range device offers a lot for its $449 price tag, some would say it lacks the necessary features to make it a killer mid-range smartphone. Since its launch, the phone has received many promotions, one of which has even dropped its price to $399. At this price, some of its drawbacks can be overlooked.
