If you’ve been the proud owner of a Google Pixel 10 since its August launch, you might have been pulling your hair out due to some seriously annoying app crashes and freezes. But hold onto your hats, folks, because Google seems to have finally nailed down the issue and fixed it!
Android Police’s founder, Artem Russakovskii, spilled the beans that Google treated this as a high-priority internal incident. Their engineers were on the case, working overtime to sort out what was becoming a major headache for many users. And guess what? They’ve managed to fix it with a server-side tweak, which means no pesky software updates for you to install.
Now, we might not get an official announcement or explanation from Google, but hey, who needs words when the problem’s gone, right? If you’ve been dealing with these bugs, a simple reboot should do the trick, and they should be history.
But what caused all this chaos in the first place? Users reported that their Pixel 10 Pro XLs were suddenly hit by an unknown issue, with many apps freezing or refusing to load. Some even suspected it was Google Play services causing the trouble. The issue seemed to be widespread, affecting various Pixel 10 models, and some users thought it was linked to an October software update.
While some users found a temporary fix by uninstalling Google Play Services, it wasn’t a perfect solution. It seems Google has now stepped in and sorted it out for good, though. Let’s hope they can keep these kinds of issues at bay in the future.
So, Pixel 10 users, it’s time to celebrate! Your phones should now be running smoothly again. And if you’re thinking of picking up a Pixel 11 (yes, it’s already in the pipeline), here’s hoping Google’s learned from their recent troubles.
