We noticed this bizarre issue ourselves while running three Pixel models. While the Pixel 5 received its update flawlessly around release time, we’ve had struggles with the Pixel 6 Pro and
Pixel 6a.
Hitting the
Check For Updates button around launch time failed to trigger any action. When we tried it again today, we received a system update available message “introducing Android 12.” Weirdly, these Pixels are already running Android 12. And weirder still, applying this 2.03GB update seemingly only changes the build number. Nothing more.
