If your device is eligible, this is an update that you don&#8217;t want to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>It fixes some pretty major issues, like faster than normal battery depletion, along with unresponsive touch inputs and unlocks access to locally stored content that wasn&#8217;t previously accessible. <\/p>\n<p>                        You&#8217;ll want to download this ASAP<\/p>\n<p> The update is available for the Pixel 8, 9, and Pixel 10, and appears to be rolling out to Verizon and Visible devices. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/12\/17\/pixel-december-2025-update-patch\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">9to5Google<\/a> also reports that the update is available in other regions as well.

According to 9to5Google, the update is pretty small, coming in at just 25MB. So you&#8217;ll easily be able to download it using mobile data. <\/p>\n<p>The Pixel update that dropped at the beginning of the month also brought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/the-pixel-update-youve-been-waiting-for-is-now-here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">some notable fixes as well<\/a>, like respecting charging limits, removing the question mark status symbol when charging, along with display and audio issues. These updates are a must if you own a Pixel phone. <\/p>\n<p>                        How to update<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A person holding the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pixel-10-pro-xl-hand-back.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pixel-10-pro-xl-hand-back.JPG\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In case you weren&#8217;t quite sure how to update your Pixel phone, we can walk you through it.
