After the disaster that was the December 2021 update for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Google pushed back the patch to January in a bid to resolve lingering issues and a few major problems.

With over 100 individual fixes and tweaks for Pixel phones in the December patch alone, the wait has been a frustrating and confusing one.

It has done little damage to Google’s update reputation when the current flagship series was back of the pack when it came to patches – especially when users complained of so many niggling Pixel 6 issues.

There are some of us that (knock on wood) haven’t experienced a single issue with the Pixel 6 or 6 Pro.

The most notable problem that has faced many Pixel 6 owners has been the poor data and mobile signal after updating to the November 2021 update.

It was the calling issue that caused the December update to be officially pulled for Pixel 6, and this January update was issued later than usual due to the sheer volume of complaints – mostly from European owners.

Although not related directly to the issues Pixel 6 owners were encountering, Chromecast cast controls were dropped due to the ongoing Sonos lawsuit.
