Google's November update fixes emergency call bug

Technology Nov 12, 2025

Google just dropped its November 2025 update for Pixel phones, and the big news is it fixes a bug that was stopping some users from making emergency calls—even with full bars.
Now, your phone should connect to emergency services reliably again.

Other fixes and improvements

This update also sorts out weird rainbow effects in ultra-wide and telephoto photos, patches a system crash from an audio bug, and fixes webcam mode issues.
To grab the update, head to Settings > System > Software updates > Check for update.
Heads up: Pixel 6 and some Pixel 7 models aren't included this time around.
