Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 Update Schedule Changes

The expected Pixel update schedule has changed in recent months for the pixel 6 and Pixel 7.

The Pixel 6 series has not received an update in 2 months straight, missing 3 out of 5 months – the Pixel 7 series has (so far) only been left out of the most recent November update. Both should still be supported through 2026, 2027, and beyond, we’re just starting to question what the cadence for updates will be going forward. This is especially relevant as folks who own these devices are likely wondering where their updates are after seeing the November update drop today.

Google has issued monthly updates for its Pixel devices as their introduction, so a missed month or two is a noteworthy event. For a device to miss updates for several months is really something that should be drawing some attention. However,nowhere in GoogleS official documentation does it guarantee monthly updates for Pixel devices; their support documents simply state the number of years of expected support.

We’ve asked Google for more details on what we believe is a change in the update schedule for the Pixel 6, but they have so far not gone into specifics, only suggesting that all of the still-supported Pixel devices are “compliant.” When we asked about Pixel 6 updates,they responded with the following:

“Pixel phones will remain security compliant for the full duration of their support windows,wich can be found here.

Your device will remain private and secure through Pixel specific patches, Google Play System Updates and fixes through the android Security Bulletin. You can also expect your phone to get better over time with regular Pixel Drops and updates to the latest OS for the device’s full support window.”

Because of that vague statement, we thought it was time to start a running timeline of updates for these devices to help you keep track of what the current releases are for each. And just maybe, this will give us some clarity around expectations going forward.
