Pixel 10 Update Linked to Widespread App Crashes, Users Say

Community reports point to a Google Play services conflict with only short-lived workarounds.

Overview

  • Reports surged over the weekend after installing the October 2025 software update on Pixel 10 models.
  • Users describe apps freezing at launch or showing “isn’t responding” prompts, with reinstalls and cache clears offering little relief.
  • Some users temporarily restore stability by uninstalling and then updating Google Play services and the Play Store, though the issue often returns.
  • Rolling back or clearing Google Play services can sign users out of their Google accounts and may cause additional app issues, so caution is advised.
  • The problem is concentrated on the Pixel 10 lineup with scattered Pixel 9 reports, other Android devices appear unaffected, and Google has not yet issued an acknowledgment or fix.
