Google's April update is now available for Pixel phones.

It's the first Monday of the month, which means that if you own a Pixel, you already know what that entails. While it's not quite as thrilling as a full-fledged Feature Drop, the April security patch for Google's phone lineup is arrived, and there's a hint of good news for aficionados. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are included in this month's update, which is only the second on-time patch since the device's launch last year.

This month's update is also available for the Pixel 3a series and subsequent smartphones, in addition to the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. It contains a variety of improvements, including Pixel 6-specific fixes. Although it's unclear whether this is especially designed for the Pixel Stand, Google's newer phones should handle wireless charging better with "certain accessories." Two camera updates, as well as a green screen error that appeared in camera previews, should enhance how the front-facing camera functions with select apps.

The rest of this month's patch is categorised as "User Interface," and it applies to all currently supported models. April's fixes include PiP crashes, live wallpaper problems, and faulty app drawer animations, to name a few. The whole list of fixes is included below, despite the fact that it isn't quite as long as last month's big release.

User Interface

We wouldn't blame any Pixel 6 owners for postponing the installation of this patch. The February upgrade, which was touted as the first time the phone received software on time, came with a terrible Wi-Fi problem that persisted for over a month and a half until Google resolved it.

Google's website, as always, has the factory images or OTA files for manual installation. Otherwise, stay tuned – it should be available on supported phones soon. Hopefully, this is the last of Google's difficult fixes for its latest flagships. troublesome patches for its latest flagships.
