As on schedule, Google is here with its monthly update, January 2022. Starting today, the update is available on all Pixel devices which currently runs on the Android 12 OS. Owing to the delay in last month’s update on the Pixel 6 series, the January 2022 update will come sometime later in the month.
The rollout will take place in phases over the next week, depending on the carrier and device. Once the OTA is available for their device, users will receive a notification. Users are also advised to update to the latest Android version.
