Google rolls out important updates for Pixel 6

On 14 January, Google released a critical update for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Included in the January 2022 patch, this update includes fixes to the camera, the fingerprint sensor, newly added support for the 23W wireless charging Pixel Stand, and as always, bug fixes.

According to media outlets, because of the update, Google Pixel 6 Pro users can now use digital car key functions for compatible BMWs, thanks to the ultra-wideband chip embedded in Pixel 6 Pro. Additionally, the new Quick Tap to Snap feature will integrate Google and Snapchat together for better social connectivity. For both Pixel 6 and Pro users, the update will include support for the Pixel Buds A-Series, adding new bass controls.

Google initially announced these new tweaks for the December patch but delayed the release after users reported several problems with the new updates, including connectivity problems and issues installing the patch. The new updates are expected to be available by this week, so it's too soon to tell if these updates will receive similar backlash.
