Google Pixel devices get additional update: battery drain and more fixed

Google is rolling out an additional interim update to several Pixel devices. This is a system update that is not huge in size. Necessary bug fixes have reportedly been made, including against battery drain.

Additional December update for Pixels

Pixel devices will be offered a new update from today, after the December update was distributed earlier this month. The extra update tackles some improvements. Google itself has not shared a changelog, but US telecom provider Verizon has. The changelog talks about a fix for battery drain. For several users, their device's battery was draining faster than usual, and this has now been fixed.

Touch sensitivity has been improved, with the issue of the screen being unresponsive fixed. This would notably occur app the Pixel 10 models. There is also a fix for accessing cached content, allowing you to access locally saved content again, such as offline media or maps.
