Overview
- Users reported multiple functional regressions after Google rolled Android 17 to Pixel phones in mid‑June, with major outlets publishing updates on Monday, June 22, 2026.
- A Wi‑Fi bug makes devices show a connected network while apps use mobile data, and turning off mobile data cuts internet access for affected users.
- Some Pixel devices lose 5G and fall back to 4G after the update; users have restored 5G by toggling Repair Mode or performing a network reset as temporary workarounds.
- A touchscreen and gesture regression causes temporary unresponsiveness and misread swipes on some Pixels, and several users report reduced problems after disabling the Smooth Display feature.
- Widgets disappearing from home screens has been tied by Google to the Work Profile, Google is working on an official patch, and users can sometimes restore widgets by toggling Focus Mode while waiting for a fix.
