Google Pixel 6 Android 12 Update For April Cures Wireless Charging And Camera Headaches
In our in-depth review, we praised the Pixel 6 for following in its predecessors' strong camera footsteps, along with it just being a solid overall phone in general. That doesn't mean everyone always has the best of times, though. Some devices would show a quick all green display when using the camera preview, and when using the front-facing camera in certain apps the preview could be zoomed. These are odd and annoying glitches for sure. These issues should now be fixed.
- Fix for crash in System UI while using apps in Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode in certain conditions.
- Fix for issue causing error message to display when setting up certain live wallpapers.
- Fix for issue causing notification shade and Quick Settings to appear invisible after changing wallpaper in certain conditions.
- Fix for issue occasionally causing animation to display incorrectly when canceling a search in the app drawer.
- Fix for issue occasionally preventing navigation in overview screen while TalkBack is active.
- Fix for issue occasionally preventing recents button to show the overview while using 3-button navigation with third party launchers.
What's a security update without security patches though, right? A pretty large number of CVE's have been patched in this update as well. The full list is pretty massive and applies to a fairly large number of devices. The most common seems to be a patch for a type of attack known as "Elevation of Privilege," which is in no way a surprise as this has been a common method of attack for Android virus writers as of late. You can read all of the CVE's patched in April's security update page.
