no, i just ask if there's some news with the battery with these update - does google will do something?

As far as i have read about it online, it mostly says various vulnerability fixes. Rest have to wait for the update to check ourselves that is it really battery friendly or not.

thank you,
and about the question in gmail?

How would we know if the update hasn't been released yet?

Is there a specific day of the month these updates drop....or is it usually just at some point early in the month? I've been looking for dates the last few days trying to figure out the schedule but it hasn't been as easy as I thought it'd be. I believe February's dropped on the 5th. That's the only one with a date I could find.

I think the monthly security updates are be released on the first Monday of a month.

Yup around 10 or 11 am PST
Sent from my Google Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs

So today will be a release?

Hell Froze Over, UK Update Available.

Never thought i would see the day.
Its patched it to the May security release which seems a bit behind the times still.
I was as shocked as you were, creation date 6th June, personally wonder why they bothered considering update content.
Ray
Standby time seems to be very much improved, a 2% drop over night and that was it.
Can I apply the update with my device being rooted with magisk or do I need to uninstall magisk first? Saw somewhere people using flashfire but I am not sure if I need to apply it from there as I have twrp installed. Grabbed the update so will upload.

Don't tell anyone but it was a joke, the UK was seemingly ignored for months then 2 updates in 2 weeks.

Some guy on fb said that by the end of December or at the first week of January, we'll start getting Oreo. I can't believe that but I may be wrong

It's not a theory, that is how Google releases updates
But the Now playing server side changes for Pixel 2(XL) / Pixel (XL) is out now.
Check settings - sounds - Now playing. There is the now playing history. At least it is something

Hello guys. Do you have any new for February update? Any fixes or or something New?
Thanks...

No one will know until the Pixel Security Bulletin comes out. This bulletin comes out the same day of the update on the first Monday of each month. Every month a new thread like this one is started and becomes a long laundry list of what people WANT and NEED to have fixed. Functional patches in a monthly security update are few and far between (with the exception of last December).
Yes, we know it will come on Monday 4th February.
Do we really need to have this question every month? I mean really come on now. Just wait until it drops, and then go read the release notes. A lot of sites cover it when it comes out, so there is no need to ask here before it comes out. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but there is somebody every month asking before it comes out. I know I can just ignore the post, but I'm in a grumpy mood right now, so sorry about that. LOL
Thanks.. I didn't even know when update will come out

They usually don't hit until between 11-1 Pacific time.
It's out

Question Where is the March update?

First Monday of the month is typically when the updates hit, isn't it?
Also, it should be Feature Drop time. But no mention of it anywhere. Maybe just small update to come or there will be one next Monday?
Not until 1pm EST.
They confirmed it's delayed again
Delayed, plus the "feature drop" consists of some mediocre Snapchat stuff, an oversized battery widget and a couple stickers. The Pixel 6 turns into a disappointment. Non-existent feature drops, massive bugs, delayed updates... not a good track record.
Bipolar chat in the forums.. 13 Dev 2 comes out Thursday. I would think it will be out by the 15th or so latest.
Google really is starting to disappoint me with this phone. Bugs in connectivity, late updates you name it ... Expensive phone too.
Put me off Google I must admit I am starting to regret buying this phone.

I'm starting to regret it too, but we don't have many other options. Chinese phones that I refuse to buy, or Samsung phones that throttle apps. Right now they are all bad.
Hehe. It's funny.
U can see similar post in every phone topic.
Before use OnePlus 7pro and and was exactly same
When updating not on time.
There's no other phone worth considering. OnePlus is dead and Samsung has too much bloat and baggage.
I'm sticking with Pixels because at least I know my monthly updates will improve firmware, not just bump security patch level. And they will come every month. I don't worry too much about the delays, but it's a bad look.

I'm agreed with u.
But must be a reason for delay
Every day another reason to regret getting a 6 Pro. WTF was I thinking?
The update rolls out at different times per region doesn't it? That's something to take into account. There could be technical issues of some sort that's causing any sort of delay too.
Just have some patience yall it'll come soon enough

The pixel 6 Update is officially delayed by Google. They say later this month. Meaning it has nothing to do with a technical delay for a couple hours.

This is turning into a running joke.
Just one answer for "Where is the March update?" - in March
Sorry I had to
I would rather have a late update that's secure and stable than a bug fest with open back doors.
However looks pretty poor.

If 12L is delayed that means 13DP2 will not be available for p6 series as well.

Google pushes updates out in waves. It is possible that you have to wait for days, or even weeks to get an update prompt, even when manually clicking the button.
It's Tuesday night 6/7 at 10:45PM EST, and no June OTA update yet for me, either.

Could be a few days or maybe a week you could side load the update but I have no clue how to do that
