It’s the beginning of the month, and you know what that means. Google is delivering the November update to its Pixel phones. It’s a routine monthly update, so it brings some bug fixes to the software and that’s pretty much it, according to a new report.
If you’re looking to update your phone to this latest update, you should get a notification letting you know. However, if you missed the notification, then you’ll have to get to the update screen manually.
Go to your settings and scroll down to the System button at the bottom. On the resulting screen, look for the Update section. When you tap on that button, you’ll see a screen letting you know that you have an update. If it says that your phone is up to date, tap on the Search for update button at the bottom of the screen. Your phone will do a search to see if there’s an update.
If your phone finds the update, tap on the Update and your phone will start downloading the update. It will download and install it in the background.
