Overview

• Users began reporting over the weekend that apps freeze, hang on splash screens, or trigger “isn’t responding” errors following the October Android build.
• The issue is concentrated on the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL, with only scattered reports on Pixel 9 devices and few signs on other Android phones.
• Reports tie the failures to recent Google Play Services and Play Store updates, and uninstalling those updates or clearing Play Services data can temporarily restore stability.
• These workarounds can sign users out of Google accounts and the problem often returns once Play Services auto‑updates to the latest build.
• Google has not publicly acknowledged the bug, though 9to5Google reports it is flagged as high priority internally, and outlets have requested official comment while advising unaffected users to delay Play Services updates.
