This must-install update for the Pixel 6a aims to tackle overheating issues

Water on the back of the Google Pixel 6a.

What you need to know

  • Google is slapping a battery cap on some Pixel 6a units once they hit 400 full charge cycles as part of a safety push to stop overheating.
  • The update only throttles devices labeled as “Impacted,” though Google’s keeping quiet on exactly what makes the cut.
  • The update arrives July 8 for everyone, but unless you’ve got an “Impacted Device,” your battery and charging speed will stay untouched.
