I'm reading this right now on pixel with latest play services update and have no problems using the phone. I'm not saying no one is having problems, but I wonder what the statistics are.
This is for the Google play system updates. Not the Play services app.
You can check your version in settings, security and privacy, Google play system updates. It should say November 2023 as the latest. Those on January recived the bad update.
Good info thanks. Still on November phew.
Ahhh november 1st update
Yeah I'm still on Nov 2023. So that makes more sense.
Yup, same here.
Yep, same here.
Pixel 8 Pro
Security update January 5, 2024 (14 UQ1A.240105.004)
Google Play system update on January 1, 2024
No issues that I can see. My camera works fine, I can open all my apps that I use daily,
Do you have a work profile or multiple user profiles set up on your device? This is similar to another issues they had a couple months ago, where my phone would fail to boot even into recovery to try to factory reset it.
No, just one profile.
