TL; DR
- Google is rolling out the September 2021 Android security patch on Google Pixel devices.
- No recommended fixes are listed in this update, but there are a number of security fixes.
- It’s now rolling out for Pixel 3 and newer devices.
Pixel smartphone owners can now look forward to their monthly Google security update. The company announced the launch of the September 2021 security patch for supported Pixel phones. You can search for a software update in the system settings as usual and download it or just wait for a normal notification.
For September 2021, Google has not shown any featured updates that were included in the Pixel security patch. However, they contain separate US and Japanese versions for the recently launched Pixel 5a smartphone.
The September security patch comes even though Google is close to finalizing Android 12. It’s likely that the final version of the major OS upgrade will be out sometime in the next month or two.
Of course, you can still install the September 2021 Pixel Security Update manually by downloading the appropriate OTA or factory image below.
