Google typically releases one update per month for Pixels, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/october-2025-pixel-update-3605572\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the October 2025 update<\/a> having arrived on October 8.<\/p>\n<p>But on October 30, Google released a second October update \u2014 seemingly out of nowhere. The company hasn\u2019t said what it fixes or changes, but we\u2019ll certainly never complain about two software updates in one month.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering if your Pixel device is eligible for this unexpected release, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s every Pixel getting the second October 2025 update<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google pixel 9 pro xl pink 13\"  alt=\"google pixel 9 pro xl pink 13\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/google-pixel-9-pro-xl-pink-13.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Rita El Khoury \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>Given the surprise nature of this latest Pixel update, you\u2019re right to wonder if only a select few Pixels are receiving it. However, the good news is that almost every Pixel that got the first October 2025 update is getting this second one.<\/p>\n<p>The full list is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pixel 7<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 7 Pro<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 7a<\/li>\n<li>Pixel Fold<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 8<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 8 Pro<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 8a<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9 Pro\/9 Pro XL<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9 Pro Fold<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9a<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 10<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 10 Pro\/10 Pro XL<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In other words, if you have a Pixel from the last three years, your phone is eligible for this update. If you haven\u2019t received it already, you can manually check for the update by opening the Settings app and following this path:\u00a0<strong>System -&gt; Software updates -&gt; System update -&gt; Check for update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Pixels that aren\u2019t getting this surprise update<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google pixel tablet revisit october 2025 11\"  alt=\"Someone holding the Google Pixel Tablet.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/google-pixel-tablet-revisit-october-2025-11-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Joe Maring \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>Although that is an extensive list of devices, there are a couple of notable exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>The first one is the Pixel Tablet. Although it received the October update from earlier in the month, it\u2019s not included in this second update. Additionally, the Pixel 6 series is also missing, just like it was from the first October update. If you have a Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, or Pixel 6a, you\u2019ll be sitting this one out. Furthermore, all older Pixels \u2014 such as the Pixel 5, Pixel 4, and so on \u2014 are also excluded from this update.<\/p>\n<p>Although this surprise second October update likely doesn\u2019t include any notable new features, we\u2019re expecting a much more significant update shortly with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/november-pixel-drop-leak-3610662\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google\u2019s November 2025 Pixel Drop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
