November 2025 Android Security Update Available for Google Pixel Devices

The November Pixel update has gone live this morning for download and also happens to be a Pixel Feature Drop. This won’t be Android 16 QPR2, though, but is instead a pretty typically monthly patch that also includes new features as bonuses for Pixel owners. We have a full write-up on what’s new in the November Pixel Feature Drop here.

As for this update, Google is rolling out the November Pixel update as early as today to the Pixel 7a up through the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro do not have updates at this time. Why? We don’t know and Google hasn’t been open to saying. This is the second month in a row without Pixel 6 updates, though.
