Google has released a critical security update for its Pixel smartphones running Android 14, addressing 17 security vulnerabilities classified as high priority or critical. The update is rolling out globally, and users are urged to install it promptly.
The tech giant advises Pixel owners to watch for notifications about the update. Eligible devices include all models from the Pixel 4a onwards. To manually check, go to Settings > System > System Update and follow the on-screen instructions.
In the release notes, Google stated: “Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform. We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible.”
