Credit: Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DRThe November Pixel update doesn’t list the Pixel 6 or Pixel 7 series because those devices already received all necessary fixes with the September patch.Google’s Pixel Update Bulletin confirms there are no new security patches for Pixel phones in this update, so no additional update was needed this month.The November Pixel Feature Drop still applies to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 phones, so they aren’t missing out on any new features.Google rolled out the November Pixel update earlier this week, right alongside the latest Pixel Drop. The update brought new improvements and bug fixes to the Pixel 7a and above. Naturally, users quickly noticed that the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro were missing from the list of devices receiving Google’s monthly bug-fix update. Folks also speculated that Google is dropping monthly updates for the phones in favor of quarterly patches. It doesn’t help that Google does not provide a public list that definitively separates Pixel phones into monthly and quarterly update groups like Samsung. However, it looks like the reason the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 flagships were not included in the November update list was in front of us all along.
