For the Pixel devices, Google has pushed the October 2025 update. This is a necessary update that essentially “wraps” and “repackages” the essential system bugs fixes that reach all kinds of Pixel phones from the Pixel 7 to the Pixel 10 with the new software included.

All these changes not only ensure that the users can enjoy their devices to the fullest with smooth visuals but also with the good general performance.
Besides the Camera app will also get an upgrade, a problem with the cameras of the Pixel 7 to 10 range where the background was semi-transparent has been solved plus the app is more responsive and cleaner in design.
Apart from that, the flash status display on the “At a Glance” widget has been fully restored in all cases instead of only some cases where it was missing before. Moreover, the Media Output Switcher is now stable as there is no crash when releasing or starting the casting operations, thus, the media control on Pixel 7 through Pixel 10 models is better.
