  • Isn't Android 15 meant to be dropping? Thought the release would come with that

    • It's already out. Not all phones will receive it. Those that do might not get it the same day pixels do.

      This update is not an android security release that patches drivers or system files, but the update to google play services and related apps.

      You are right in that it's unlikely the pixels will get any further A14 security updates until after A15.

    • These are just patch notes for different Google services that they update throughout the month and not all of them require a system updates.

      I've been wondering if it would be better to post the whole list here only at the end of the month? Or not to post it at all?
