Android 15 feature is reportedly bricking Pixel 6 phones — what you need to know

The Google Pixel 6 Pro (in black) and Google Pixel 6 (in coral) laid next to each other on wooden decking.

If you still own a Google Pixel 6, you might want to be careful when upgrading to Android 15. While this is likely the last Android update your phone is going to get, that doesn’t mean it’s not without problems — and users have been reporting issues with the update bricking their phones.

From the sounds of things it’s not actually the Android 15 update that’s causing the problems; it’s actually setting up the Private Space feature. At least three users have come across the same issue and posted about their experiences on Reddit. Two of those users had a Pixel 6, while a third had a Pixel 6 Pro.
