Google drops a big Android 16 update for Pixel phones
Google just rolled out a major Android 16 update for Pixel users (Pixel 6 through Pixel 10).
This one's all about fixing annoying bugs—33 in total—including problems with battery charging, memory glitches, and random screen freezes.
The goal: smoother, more reliable performance for your device.
What's new and why it matters
The update sorts out battery charge limits, fixes splash screen memory issues, and makes emergency calling more stable.
If you've noticed your screen freezing during gestures or laggy graphics on the Pixel 10, those should be better now too.
Updates are rolling out in phases this week—just check your Settings app to see if it's ready for you.
Plus, Google is sticking to its promise of long-term support, with newer Pixels getting seven years of updates.
