Android 15 update comes with a huge issue for Pixel 6 owners

Vlad, 22 October 2024

Google finally started rolling out Android 15 to still supported Pixel devices last week. As is often the case, the rollout hasn't been issue-free. Far from it, in fact. Today a bunch of Pixel 6 owners are reporting a very big problem. The biggest one you can have following an update, in fact.

The Pixel 6 units in question are simply left unusable - bricked, in tech terms. This happens randomly and unexpectedly, it seems, but there may be an explanation - two users on Reddit report that their Pixel 6 devices died after enabling the Private Space feature. However, another user claims their device died during regular use, so it might not be a very cut and dry situation.

Android 15 update comes with a huge issue for Pixel 6 owners

What's common to all reports is that the Pixel 6 is completely gone, with none of the typical troubleshooting methods working. Obviously, these are just a few isolated reports, at least so far, so the issue doesn't seem to be very widespread. It's still a very nasty one, however, so if you have a Pixel 6 and haven't updated to Android 15 yet, we recommend you hold off until Google has some kind of resolution.

Not even remotely comparable. On PC you can troubleshoot and workaround problems easily with the amount of tools and options you have at your disposal. In phones you have... "recovery". And that's it.

Always have been for me, and all the systems in my house. If I've had issues with Windows, it's been from misbehaving apps, or a games' rendering API conflicting with GPU drivers. Windows itself, and it's updates, have been ...
