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

Relief could be coming soon for Google Pixel users suffering from bricked Pixel 6 phones. Google put out an official response on what users can do to avoid their phones getting bricked while the company works on a fix. 

The original fault occurred when users tried to factory rest their Google Pixel 6, Google Pixel 6a and Google Pixel 6 Pro.

If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device,” the message continued.
