Purchased my Pixel in a Verizon store...no preloaded at all...none.

Is this common? I read numerous times b4 I got the phone that it would come with like three pre-installed...My Verizon, Messages, and something else.

But there was nothing on mine..Minus the standard Google stuff.

Mine was clean as well. Pretty sure it's normal.

Same here. Have the My Verizon app because it was on my other phone and transferred over on setup. So I don't know if it was already on this Pixel but I am doubting it. Also was able to pull down the March security update as soon as I saw it was available. That's a somewhat new experience.

Some did -- some didn't. All in all it isn't a big deal since you can uninstall them if you did get hit with the downloads.

My phone came from verizon and only had My Verizon, Messenger + and go90

I only had go90 and My Verizon. I uninstalled go90 and kept my Verizon and downloaded Verizon Messenger +

Mine did not have any preloaded.

Have a replacement Pixel on the way. Will see if anything is pre-installed.
It's listed as a Verizon variant.

EDIT:3-21; Just got my replacement. There was a Verizon sim preinstalled into the device but no software specific to Verizon was installed.
Quite sure if I had booted with Verizon sim, carrier specific apps would have downloaded and installed.
