Android 15, which was first offered by Google to Pixel device owners and will be supported with updates for a year, is causing a major issue. According to reports from the Android side, Pixel 6 owners who installed the latest update are experiencing ‘bricked’ phones that won’t turn on again. Here’s what you need to know and the details…
If you own a Pixel 6, do not install Android 15!
The Android 15 update, which Google started distributing for Pixel devices last week, is causing major issues, especially for Pixel 6 users. While the phones of users who installed the update have become completely unusable, Google has not yet made an official statement.
According to user complaints that surfaced on the social media platform Reddit, the issue appears to occur especially when using the ‘Private Space’ feature. A user named GegoByte stated that their device became completely unusable right after launching an app in Private Space, while another user, Homer_95, said their phone suddenly shut down during normal use and never turned back on.
Given the Pixel 6 series’ history of update issues, this latest development has caused concern among users. Last year, users faced storage issues with the Android 14 update, but this time they are dealing with a much more serious problem. Standard troubleshooting methods such as holding down the ‘Power’ and ‘Volume Down’ buttons or connecting to a computer do not fix the issue. In short, even accessing the root menu does not solve the problem.
Technology experts are advising Pixel 6 users to delay installing the Android 15 update for now. Additionally, it has been reported that Pixel 8 Pro users are also facing issues with navigating through menus, showing that Android 15 is causing a variety of problems across Google’s devices.
