Today’s update marks our tenth Pixel Feature Drop . The latest updates begin rolling out to Pixel 3a through Pixel 5a (5G) devices today, while Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro devices will begin receiving their updates later this month.
Night Sight in SnapchatFor those moments when the lighting isn’t quite right, Night Sight in Pixel Camera helps you capture clear low-light pictures and video. Now we're bringing Night Sight to Snapchat so you can snap vibrant, detailed, low-light videos or photos without flash. Give it a try on your Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro by selecting low light mode in the Snapchat app to make sure you never miss a moment — even in the dark.
Communicating with captions
For people who can't or prefer not to speak on calls, there's a new way to communicate with Live Caption. Now when you’re on a phone call you can see captions of what the other person says and type back a response that will be read out loud on the other end.
Make messages and video calls more fun
A picture is worth a thousand words. When you’re typing in messaging apps in, Gboard can convert your words into colorful stickers built with your exact text. With emoji, emoji kitchen and custom sticker suggestions while you type your Pixel helps you express exactly how you feel. Coming to Pixel users globally typing in English (U.S.) starting today.
It's also getting easier to connect with friends and family on video calls: Host your own YouTube watch parties or share your favorite app with live sharing for Duo, all on your Pixel phone.
More languages. More ways to translate.Live Translate on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro makes communicating in different languages easy. And with Interpreter mode, you can now translate your face-to-face conversations with Spanish, Italian and French speakers right on your phone, as all translations stay on device. Give it a try by saying, “Hey Google, be my Spanish interpreter.”
And the new Pixel battery widget can show up-to-date battery information for your Pixel, as well as 1-connected devices like Pixel Buds). Add the widget to your homescreen to keep an eye on battery life across your devices.

More helpful features for more PixelsIn addition to the features reaching Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, we’re also bringing existing features to more languages and devices.
Direct My Call and Wait Times will now be available for Pixel 3a and newer phones.
Recorder can now transcribe in Italian and Spanish on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
Assistant Quick phrases will be available in Spanish, Italian and French on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

As far as I'm aware, there is still just plain "12", and the just-released stable "12L". It's also my impression that the final release of 12L that just came out, didn't come out for the Pixel 6 or Pro yet, and that both 12 and 12L with March updates for the P6/Pro will come out later this month.
Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

It was reported in several places that there would be 1 more Beta or RC release for 12L before it went stable. But for other devices it does appear that March is 12.1. So we'll have to see what they do with this device.
SP2A.220305.013.A3
We have the build number... Just release it ffs.
This is getting kinda ridiculous at this point, right?
Unless Google wants to cut a new build, I don't think we'll have to wait the whole week. Maybe they'll drop it on a Friday again.
Or maybe it's at 5:00 today and they're simply covering their asses with the "later this month" wording.

Btw this is probably why it's delayed

wtf are Google doing! Only 2 releases came on time.
Although I'm surprised this happened, I'm still not overly concerned. If the update was ready for our phone right now, they would release it.

Thanks! I wondered - I saw a reference to 12.1 somewhere but at the time it wasn't obvious to me that 12.1 was 12L merged with 12.

I don't mind delays because I never take updates until I wait and see reports on them first.
Seriously? Again? Yea.... Why would you make sure your NEWEST FLAGSHIP receives updates on time? Google is an absolute joke. How pathetic.

So it's now January 18th and I've yet to receive the security update for January. Has anyone received it, via OTA?
Quite frankly I'm surprised that Google can be so late pushing it out given that there are probably not even 250,000 people who bought the thing.
Wouldn't surprise me if Google are holding off on it until a massive update is ready to fix/help other issues
Google will be lucky if 25,000 people bought the thing AND kept it.

not sure they care about sale numbers.
Like previous Pixel devices, it's mainly for done for internal usage, PR, aura, showcase, exploring, reference platform, etc. And to acquire knowledge on how to build such devices.
The fact that they sell it to anyone is a just a bonus for fans and tech enthusiasts.

interesting point. it would explain the lack of testing. but it does not explain the web site or many of the AMA answers or the AMA itself. google is certainly getting well deserved training on the return process with this device.

Typically the images are posted to the developer website before any OTAs go out. No updated image has been posted (other than MXB48K, which we know isn't a January update), so I wouldn't expect any OTA.

Yeah, ik, It is weird since they did say they would be on a 6 week update cycle. Still nothing. Not a great sign, guess they are trying to work out the WiFi and touchscreen issues in the first update. They probably tough to fix

Just bought the Pixel C and it came with 6.0. I haven't been promoted to update to 6.0.1 but I'm wondering if 6.0.1 is the OTA update or if I should just flash the factory image?
Also, is then 6.0.1 update the one that moves the buttons to opposite edges?
Thanks.

Whoa you should have been prompted to update to 6.0.1 right away there's not even a 6.0 factory image.
seems this pixel c was really beyond what they promises to delivered. every 6 weeks for new update. in fact nexus brand can get update almost on time.

Same here. I had a warranty issue with my first Pixel, the replacement they sent me is also on 6.0, with no OTA to 6.0.1.
But honestly it seems to work better.
---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------
In an attempt to ask Google why my device is still on October Security Patch and no 6.0.1 Update on my warranty replacement Pixel.
So I guess I just had to wait. I avoided flashing the 6.0.1 update since I had already set up my tablet using the "Setup my device" feature through Google Now from my 6P. Last night my Pixel C was prompted to install the 6.0.1 update and updated fine. I'm unsure of what be features are added other than security, but my home and back buttons are moved to the left while recent apps button is on the right. So I guess it worked. That and the fact that under about tablet it says 6.0.1 ha-ha.
It seems to run a bit smoother now so, there's that.
I got the OTA udpate last night. I am in San Diego, CA.
Yesterday I received MXB48T OTA update on my 32GB pixel C. The inconsistent WiFi speeds issues have not been solved.

Also, howdy Mike. Long time no see. Been a few years since I even posted on the forums.
I guess Android 12 will be released on 13-09 and Pixel 6 will be launched on 30-09.
My guess is based on the images from the Official video on google store.

they will release it on 9/13 according to the new leak. I can't wait.
One thing is for sure - Google will let us know when the big day is. I'm watching that 9/30 day. Android 12 will need to be finished first. There will be lots of PR to promote the big reveal. I'm not worried about when, concentrating on a color choice. I went from the usual black to white but now that yellow is looking good.
Well if they needs time to get the Chipset Google Tensor (5 nm) fine tuned, then I think we better wait!

I plan on upgrading from my 3a (currently running DroidOnTime 5.2). I have no objectkions to either Android 12 OR Material You (as I was runnning the betas os 12 before DroidOnTime 5.1.3, and then 5.2); I am simply waiting for retail availability (or better Amazon availabililty), so my mom - who followed me to the 3a last year - can upgrade our respective 3a smartphones simultaneously. We both went to the 3a for the same reason - the deadliest still-picture capability in a phone at the time; so far, the 6 Pro has shown itself to be deadlier - despite being phablet-sized (size-wise, the 6 Pro reminds me of of the Galaxy Note 9, Note 10, and even the Note 20 Ultra; rather amusingly, the 6 Pro is piced less than any of them new).

Careful, or the Pixel 6 Pro forum could end up turning into a cesspool!
I own a small Pixel 2 and was waiting for the Pixel 6 Pro, even after replacing my battery its too small and it sucks.
I've been a bit disappointed with the reviews and I'm currently debating whether to import (when there's one available) the Pixel 6 Pro for 900 euros or buy (through the company I work) the Samsung S21 Ultra for 720 euros.
Will the lack of timely updates and the One UI bother me? I just can't decide, some opinions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Really?

The latest OTA is version 11.2.8.8.LE15AA, I think that one in the screenshot is the full version download preceding the latest OTA updates, but IDK for sure lol
Edit - my default kernel was built on Jul 8 2021, and android security date/level is 7/1/21 ... HTH
I read about OnePlus getting new people to make a team to work on Open Beta for 9/9Pro.
I like that!
New team is not something to like. It might be good but also be a disaster. Questions should be asked like WHY????? are they getting a new team? What happened to all the revenue they made and how are they using it? Who is controlling the company, One Plus or the Chinese government? Why the delay to begin with. I realized DP1 was developers preview and not beta but why not allow Google updates for DP 2 and three. Who cares that Oxygen was not on it yet. Now that stability been reached with Beta, let's us Early Adopters adopt. I refuse to buy a Google Pixel love my one plus but was so excited that it allowed BL to be unlocked but I feel let down by OP. Perhaps my expectations were unrealistic to begin with

This update is from June. (end of the month)
There's an update (11.2.8.8) from July. (end of month)
So, following this logic, this week OnePlus might release a new one.

People get married, have kids, no more time to spend on Android. Priorities change. I also think not only priorities of people's lives but also Android itself and the huge slowdown of phone evolution. Actual since smartphone sales slowed companies like apple and Google created smart watches to help increase revenues. They first used the old nostalgic movies like knight rider or James bond to sell them even though Smart watches cannot do anything close to what the movies portrayed. You can make flippable phones but you won't see hologram s coming out of your phone. I know we love to always think of our technology being limitless but that dam law of physics keeps getting in the way. So now they will start with AR glasses with WebView capabilities. And when that fails, which it will because who wants a HUD I'm their line of sight. In 30 years we will events have implants and chips that will help the brain and technology link. Isn't it Neurolink that exists now. That technology is decades away. Because again we do not know how the body/brain will react and now I'm having flashback from the movie Black Mirror.

At this point 11.2.8.8 is up 2 date. OnePlus updates bi-monthly.

I think the gmail app just sux. I've experienced the late notifications across quite a few devices personally.
Oxygen sucks because of google. The more google on it the more bad Oxygen will be.
Also the King of Bloatware, samsung already gets Androis 12.
And OnePlus release 9R or something...
They are starting the ultimate consolidation of Oxygen OS into Color OS. How is OnePlus going to manage all these phones? Do they even have enough staff to manage all these phones?
Unfortunately they only update bi-monthly.
I saw a user suggest on their official forums basically say "hey guys, how about monthly updates like your competition?" in a friendly way, and a mod basically said **** off and closed the thread. I wasn't impressed.
This was my first OnePlus device, maybe my last.
That 12 Beta debacle was ridiculous.
After having the 7, 8, & 9 Pro, I will be leaving the building as well!
Is this a joke? About month last update and now ppl are think this is over. How do u even can survive this life?
I like how people actually think theres a decent alternative to oneplus these days. At least not in the US. Maybe google if the pixel 6 is actually premium/flagship this time. Otherwise theres no other brand with an unlockable bootloader, which is how they get away with so much bloat. Personally im fine of oneplus becomes a little more like the others as long as the hardware is premium and the bootloader is unlockable.
9 Pro is my first and last phone from OP if they can't get they BS sorted out. The phone has horrible battery life, scrolling issues, and it doesn't get better with next updates. Also, wtf is that BS with the bi-monthly update scheudle? A device like this should be fixed ASAP, the users are experiencing problems and neet to wait, the hell is that policy? Would they wait 2 months to release an update if someone would find a security bug too? So stupid. Get your **** together OnePlus.

Manual updates arrive for Pixel Buds A-Series alongside new featuresBY SCOTT SCRIVENSPUBLISHED 1 DAY AGO
7
Bass boost and loudness compensation are among the latest enhancements
We heard back in February this year that manual firmware updates for the Pixel Buds A-Series were in the works, but it's taken until now for Google to start rolling it out. At the same time, the cheap but cheerful true wireless earbuds also learn a few new tricks, with enhanced bass boost, loudness compensation, and some nifty new device-switching functionality.
Google hasn't officially announced the rollout of manual updates, but our own Daniel Bader noticed the option on his Pixel 6 Pro just today. In the settings for his Pixel Buds A-Series, accessible via the Bluetooth menu, the top menu item now reads "Firmware update available - Tap to start." This leads to a new splash page informing that the update may take up to 15 minutes and that the buds need to be securely placed in the case for the duration.
Unfortunately, it appears as though this new manual update method is rolling out as a server-side change, so even updating the Pixel Buds app to the latest version (1.0.411945615) won't guarantee that you get it yet. After sideloading it (via APK Mirror), I'm still only able to check the automatic update status in the More settings > Firmware update.
Whichever way the latest Pixel Buds A-Series update arrives on your device, version 282 brings with it some interesting tweaks. As we briefly mentioned as part of our Pixel feature drop coverage, the bass boost feature is now improved with a 4-level slider, bass and treble can be adjusted at lower volume with 'Loudness compensation,' and the buds will now more intelligently switch between devices. If they can't find the last device they connected to, they'll automatically search for the next-last when they're taken out of the case, which could save you some faffing. Google says you'll be asked to allow the 'Nearby devices' permission with the new update, just in case you wonder why that pops up.
Look out for the latest update to both the buds and the app over the next few days.

No more just waiting for it to happen on its own
Google's latest Pixel Buds were pretty polarizing when they landed last year, months after their announcement. Like them or hate them, one feature has been almost universally resented: The fact that updates are an automatic process with no user control. They just kind of happen while the buds are connected, and you can't do much to speed up the process. But according to a recent teardown, manual updates may soon be possible.
A teardown of the latest version of the Pixel Buds app, performed by 9to5Google earlier today, revealed a handful of new strings buried inside the app, which point to a manual update feature under development. It's early, and the particulars are always subject to change when it comes to teardowns, but the new feature could be as simple as a button you tap to trigger the update process for a pair of connected Pixel Buds.
Based on the details divined so far, the option will appear in the Settings app on Pixels, while other devices will get it in the Pixel Buds app itself. Error support via a notification is also present, indicating if the process runs into trouble.
So far, the feature isn't live yet. It isn't clear if that's because it hasn't rolled out, or if it's simply because the Pixel Buds haven't had an update since September. It looks like that whole "feature drop" thing for the buds didn't quite pan out — or Google hasn't stuck to the same sort of schedule it does for its quarterly Pixel feature drops.

"Manual" update would imply that they offer an update file that can be loaded... *manually* using standard bluetooth firmware update tools. Obviously not going to be the case here.

Sure do. I ordered on October 19th and received our A-series Pixel Buds (23rd) before we got our phones (27th). I like mine much better than the Samsung Buds+ I had before - mostly because the Buds+ kept falling out of my ears, and I don't think the software was as tightly integrated or smooth with my at the time Note 10+ as the Pixel Buds A-series are with the Pixels.
When did you order your P6P?
I ordered my P6P much earlier, but Google sent me the offer code later, and I didn't see it until NOV 10. I received my comply fit foam tips a while back, but still no movement from the actual buds.

Ah. Aigh. Well, I hope you like them once you get them. I didn't know about Comply fit foam tips. Out of stock in the Google Store Get a 404 error at least on the manufacturer's site for the ones for the Pixel Buds A-series. Ah, they did something weird when I clicked on the link, it had the URL in there several times in a row - correct URL. Interesting and good to know, thanks. Have you had Comply Fit Foam Tips before? Worth it?

Most people swear by them. I've never had device-specific foam tips, but I did by generic ones for my Galaxy Buds Pro... which STILL fall out every few minutes. Extremely frustrating, considering how good they sound.

I had mine on the day after I ordered the phone and I ordered the phone about 5 seconds after they fixed the website on launch day.

Nice, did you get shipping updates before today, or did it just show up without warning?

Update the app and firmware. Just got the new version without even the December update. Bass controls are pretty sweet.

"Manual" update would imply that they offer an update file that can be loaded... *manually* using standard bluetooth firmware update tools. Obviously not going to be the case here.

Agreed. Closest things they got to that is OTA extended control. Specifically the 'build label to apply' seems to imply you're choosing the firmware to use but that's in debug and you need a url TO the firmware, so it's prob for Google Devs
My buds came in with the phone in the same package. Haven't received the update yet. I have tried checking for one and get nothing

Magic Eraser was one of the cool new tricks that came with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, but it picked up a new trick alongside the Pixel 6a in “camouflage.” Now, it’s been confirmed that Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will add the new feature in just a few days.
“Camouflage” joins Magic Eraser’s usual ability to remove photobombers or objects from an image through the Google Photos editor on Pixel 6 series phone. The feature was first announced at Google I/O 2022, and arrived mostly unceremoniously as a perk to the Pixel 6a.
We noted the feature in our review of the Pixel 6a earlier this week.
The one new feature arriving alongside the Pixel 6a, but is soon to come to the rest of the lineup, is “Camouflage” in the Google Photos app. This expansion of Magic Eraser was announced back at Google I/O with the ability to mute the colors of objects in the photo so they don’t distract from the subject. We’ve only tested this feature briefly, but it does exactly what Google claims, and with decent results.

You can see our results with Magic Eraser’s “Camouflage” below, with the feature ability to quickly pick up a distracting bright-colored cup in the background of the shot, which gets toned down to a less attention-grabbing muted orange color. We found that the feature doesn’t always work perfectly, and some shots just aren’t a great fit for the tech. But like the regular object remover, it can certainly be a handy tool to have around.
“Camouflage” is available on the Pixel 6a right out of the box, but the feature is supposed to work on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro as well. Speaking to The Verge, Google confirmed that “Camouflage” will be rolling out to both phones on July 28, the same day that Pixel 6a ships to customers.

Hi I just rooted beta 4.1 and a ticking sound is coming out of the speaker really loud, if when on silent. Is anyone else experiencing this? Sounds like it's gonna explode

Glad you solved it!
Looks like a good feature, it should be good at toning down items that dominate the image but that you don't want removing.
