| > This [update] was rushed out to all Pixel users. Pixel 8 here, still don't have the update. That's... not great. |

| I think your carrier hasn't approved it yet. T-mobile seems to lag on these things. I also can't seem to find a system update. A Google Play system update does seem to exist |

| ▲ | freitasm 17 hours ago | parent [-] | | We have an OS security update that is only release to users of a specific hardware, once approved by their mobile operator. It may be added to vendor-specific OS versions some time later (weeks, month or never). The vendor-specific may not be approved by a telco if the vendor doesn't have a relationship with that telco. Now think that millions of people use the same OS on many different flavours, on different hardware, on multiple operators. What an inneficient way of doing things. | | |
| ▲ | rs186 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | I never understood why a mobile operator has any say in when to apply security patches? Does it happen with iPhones? | | |
| ▲ | snailmailman 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Nope. When a new iOS update comes out, all supported devices may immediately install the update if they seek it out. Or it will usually auto update on its own, or at least nag the user to update. It’s gotten slightly more confusing with the major updates now being optional. You get a choice between getting a feature update or just security patches. Unless I missed it, my phone never really asked me to update to the latest iOS 26. But I can, it’s there. I’m instead on the latest version of iOS 18. (They changed number schemes. 18 is last years major update) Apple also does security updates for quite a long time. iOS 15, from 2021, got a security patch in September of this year, and works on the iPhone 6s from 2015. | |

| You can manually download the full OTA from https://developers.google.com/android/ota#shiba and install it with adb. |

| I'd suggest you to use GrapheneOS. |

| Just go to the software update, touch the button, then touch it a second time, and that will give you all available updates immediately, regardless of your random position in the rollout process. |

| ▲ | Terr_ 18 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Not working for me on Android 16, additional taps of the "Check for update" button in the bottom-right don't change the fact that it says "Your system is up to date" and that the last change was last month. | | |
| ▲ | mrgoldenbrown 17 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I see same behavior on my 8. | |
| ▲ | jeffbee 18 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Could be model-specific. I got the update by doing that manually on my Pixel 8 Pro, that also happens to be on the beta track so there are a few confounders. But that is the way to get the latest software that is waiting to be released to your phone, without waiting. |

| ▲ | Fishkins 17 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I had the same experience as peer comments. I'm on Pixel 8 and Google Fi. When I check for updates, I'm told I'm up-to-date with the last update being over a month old. | |
| ▲ | fluidcruft 17 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I don't see it yet either and have mashed it a bunch (Pixel 7, T-Mobile). Says it's running October's update with no updates available. |
